The question is partially incorrect, because nitration of <span> methyl benzoate results in generation of methyl 3-nitrobenzoate, and not methyl 2-benzoate.

This a because of the present of ester group, which deactivated benzene ring at ortho and para position. Due to this, the electrophile (NO2+) attackes on meta position.

The detailed mechanism is attached below.</span>

Answer:

See the attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello,

Nitration of alkyl benzenes is carried out adding both nitric and sulfuric acid to the organic reactant in order to promote the inclusion of the nitro group into the ring. Nonetheless, due to the steric hindrance such inclusion is not at the second carbon but at the third one. The addition of nitric acid promotes the attaching of the nitro group and the sulfuric acid shifts the equilibrium towards the nitration is it ionizes the nitric acid to nitronium ion NO₂⁺. The mechanism is shown on the attached picture.

Best regards.

EXTRACTION OF CAFFEINE 1.Explain the reason each step of the separation is performed with three portions of the solvent rather t
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Throughout the explanations section below you will find a description of the question.

Explanation:

(1)

  • Whether a solution would be positioned inside a separative funnel, combined water, as well as solvent, disintegrate particulate caffeine. In every stage, the caffeine content incorporated relies upon the coefficient of caffeine partitioning throughout the combination of water as well as fluid.
  • Thus, increasingly caffeine is taken from the solvent whenever the moment you bring additional solvent. Consequently, we separate the solvent from the single component.

(2)

  • For compounds to be mixed thoroughly and separated into different layers, a shuddering mixture within the dividing funnel would be essential.
  • However, it vibrates the separation funnel forcefully, restricts airflow within the funnel, which can also induce the fluid under it to burst or causing fluid to fire.

gladu [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Function. The mitochondrion is the site of ATP synthesis for the cell. The number of mitochondria found in a cell are therefore a good indicator of the cell's rate of metabolic activity; cells which are very metabolically active, such as hepatocytes, will have many mitochondria.
