When the methyl ester of hexanoic acid is hydrolyzed in aqueous sodium hydroxide in the presence of heat, a homogeneous solution

results. When the hydrolysis solution is acidified with dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid, a new insoluble product forms. What is the structure of this insoluble product?

Answer:

Hexanoic acid is formed as insoluble product

Explanation:

  • In aqueous sodium hydroxide, methyl ester of hexanoic acid hydrolyzes to produce soluble sodium hexanoate salt.
  • Upon addition of aqueous HCl, hexanoate ion is protonated to produce hexanoic acid which is insoluble in water.
  • Hence, upon acidification of hydrolysis solution, two separate layers (organic and aqueous) are formed.
  • Reaction are shown below.

Answer:

615ml

Explanation:

Vol(ml) = (gms solute)/[(Molar Answer => Conc)(formula Wt solute))] = (100g)/{(1.4M)(116g/mol)} = 0.615L = 615ml.

Reacts most vigorously with water
hram777 [196]
<span>The answer is - a. Alkali Metal. 
</span>They react violently with water to form alkaline solutions. This is because they all have 1 electron in their outer shell and losing 1 electron allows them to have full outer shells, and achieve stability.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 37 and its mass number is 80?
Verizon [17]
Answer: 43.

Explanation:

Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons of an atom.

The number of prortons is the atomic number, so you can write:

Mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons. From which you get;

number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 80 - 37 = 43

All the atoms of a given element have the same number of protons. That is why the number of protons idenfies the elements and is called atomic number.

The number of neutrons of a given element may be different for different atoms of the same element.

The atoms of an element that have different number of neutrons are called isotopes. So, different isotopes of the same element have same atomic number but different mass number.
