Answer:
Reagent A: PBr₃
Reagent B: Mg in Et₂O.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, your facing a problem in which a carboxylic acid is produced starting by an alcohol. More specifically, cyclopentanol must react with phosphorous tribromide in order to yield bromocyclopentane which is more likely to produce a carboxylic acid, therefore, reagent A is PBr₃.
On the other hand, by means of the production of the specified product, bromocyclopentane must react with carbon dioxide and magnesium in diethyl ether in acidic media to promote the production of the cyclopentanoic acid via the grignard reaction (substitution of the bromine by the carboxyle group), therefore, reagent B is Mg in Et₂O.
Best regards.
Answer:
a. Kp=1.4
b.Kp=2.0 * 10^-4
c.Kp=2.0 * 10^5
Explanation:
For the reaction
A(g)⇌2B(g)
Kp is defined as:
The conditions in the system are:
A B
initial 0 1 atm
equilibrium x 1atm-2x
At the beginning, we don’t have any A in the system, so B starts to react to produce A until the system reaches the equilibrium producing x amount of A. From the stoichiometric relationship in the reaction we get that to produce x amount of A we need to 2x amount of B so in the equilibrium we will have 1 atm – 2x of B, as it is showed in the table.
Replacing these values in the expression for Kp we get:
Working with this equation:
This last expression is quadratic expression with a=4, b=-(4+Kp) and c=1
The general expression to solve these kinds of equations is:
(equation 1)
We just take the positive values from the solution since negative partial pressures don´t make physical sense.
Kp = 1.4
With x1 we get a partial pressure of:
Since negative partial pressure don´t make physical sense x1 is not the solution for the system.
With x2 we get:
These partial pressures make sense so x2 is the solution for the equation.
We follow the same analysis for the other values of Kp.
Kp=2*10^-4
X1=0.505
X2=0.495
With x1
Not sense.
With x2
X2 is the solution for this equation.
Kp=2*10^5
X1=50001
With x1
Not sense.
With x2
X2 is the solution for this equation.
