Answer:

Simple and facilitated diffusion are both similar types of phenomenon where the substances are moved from a region of high concentration to lower concentration across a semi-permeable membrane.

The main difference between them is that the facilitated diffusion requires a special type of protein or carrier molecules in order to transport the substances whereas simple diffusion does not require such molecules. The rate of flow of these substances is high in the facilitated diffusion in comparison to the simple diffusion.

Write a mechanism for the esterification of propanoic acid with 18O-labeled ethanol. Show clearly the fate of the 18O label. (b)

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

See explanation and images attached

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.
