Which functional group is found in an ester?

Chemistry
2 answers:
kherson [118]3 years ago
3 0

The functional group found in an ester is a carbonyl group with an attached second oxygen atom that is bonded to a carbonyl carbon substituent by a single bond, usually a pair of alkyl or aromatic groups. In addition, it can be shown in text as RCOOR or occasionally as ROCOR, which made them responsible in the <span>distinctive and attractive odors and flavors of many flowers, perfumes, and ripe fruits.  </span>

An ester is a chemical compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which at least one-OH (hydroxyl) group is replaced by an -O- akyl (alkoxy) group. Often esters are derived from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
Therefore, -COO- is the ester functional group while that of carboxylic is -CO-OH, which makes carboxylic acids behave like carboxylic acids.

Can a substance be a lewis acid without being a bronsted-lowry acid?argue
storchak [24]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes, A substance can be a lewis acid without being a Bronsted-Lowery acid because there are some substances which cannot donate protons(Bronsted-Lowery acid) but can accept a pair of electron.

<u><em>For Example:</em></u>

Let us take the example of BF₃

BF₃ contains no proton so it is not a Bronsted Lowery Acid

However, BF₃ has an incomplete octet with 6 electrons. It needs an electron pair to complete its octet. It accepts a pair of electron to become a Lewis Acid

A fixed amount of oxygen gas is held in a .500 L tank at a pressure of 4.39 atm. The tank is connected to an empty 1.50 L tank b
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

1.0975 atm.

Explanation:

<em>According to Boyle’s Law:</em> " At constant temperature , the  volume of a given quantity of a gas  varies inversely with its pressure".

P α 1/V.

<em>∴ P₁V₁ = P₂V₂.</em>

P₁ = 4.39 atm, V₁ = 0.5 L.

P₂ = ??? atm, V₂ = 2.0 L.

<em>∴ P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂</em> = (4.39 atm)(0.5 L) / (2.0 L) = <em>1.0975 atm.</em>

What did Ernest Rutherford’s gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms ?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Their positive charge is located in the small nucleus

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment in 1911 where he used alpha particles generated from a radioactive source to bombard a thin gold foil.

In his experiment, he observed that the bulk of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil, just a tiny fraction was deflected back. To explain his findings, Rutherford proposed that an atom is made of positively charged centre where nearly all the mass is concentrated called nucleus. Surrounding the nucleus is a large space containing electrons.
