Malic acid, C4H6O5, has been isolated from apples. Because this compound reacts with 2 molar equivalents of base, it is a dicarb

oxylic acid.

Answer and explanation:

The attached figure shows five different structures for the chemical formula C4H5O5, but only one of these structures represent the malic acid.

Malic acid is a dicarboxylic acid, this means malic acid has two

-COOH groups.  Also, malic acid is a secundary alcohol, which means it has a  R2-C-OH group.

-Structure A has two carboxylic groups, but it doesn´t have a secundary alcohol.

-Structure B doesn´t have any caborxylic group.

-Structure C has two carboxylic groups and  it is a secundary alcohol. Structure C is the Malic acid

Given a fixed amount of gas held at constant pressure, calculate the volume (in L) it would occupy if a 3.50 L sample were coole
Over [174]

Answer:

V₂ = 2.91 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 3.50 L

Initial temperature = 90.0°C (90+273 = 363 K)

Final temperature = 30.0 °C  ( 30 +273 = 303 K)

Final volume = ?

Solution:

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁  =  Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

V₁/T₁  =  V₂/T₂

3.50 L / 363 K) =  V₂ / 303 K)

V₂ = 0.0096 L/K × 303 K

V₂ = 2.91 L
