Explanation:
a) In the mechanism for the acid catalysed esterification of propanoic acid using ethanol, we can see that the first step is the protonation of the acid followed by nucleophillic attack of the alcohol. Loss of water and consequent deprotonation regenerates the acid catalyst. We can see the fate of the 18O labelled ethanol in the mechanism shown.
b) In the second mechanism, an unnamed ester is hydrolysed using an acid catalyst. The attack of the acid and subsequent nucleophillic attack of water labelled with 18O leads to the incorporation of this 18O into the product acid as shown in the mechanism attached to this answer.
The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
At elevated temperature, nitrogen dioxide decomposes to nitrogen oxide and oxygen gas
The reaction is second order for with a rate constant of
at 300°C. If the initial [NO₂] is 0.260 M, it will take ________ s for the concentration to drop to 0.150 M
a) 1.01 b) 5.19 c) 0.299 d) 0.0880 e) 3.34
<u>Answer:</u> The time taken is 5.19 seconds
<u>Explanation:</u>
The integrated rate law equation for second order reaction follows:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time taken = ?
[A] = concentration of substance after time 't' = 0.150 M
= Initial concentration = 0.260 M
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the time taken is 5.19 seconds
