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.

Mass = 200.0 g volume = 100.0cm3 What is the density?
Marianna [84]
The density of an object is defined as its mass divided by its volume. Mathematically, density = Mass / Volume. The unit of density is kilogram per cubic meter, kg / m^3 or g /cm^3.
For the question given above: the 
Mass = 200.0 g
Volume = 100.0 cm^3
Therefore, Density = Mass / Volume = 200 / 100  = 2
Thus,  the density of the object is 2 g /cm^3.

The conversation of cyclopropane to propene in the gas phase is a first order reaction with a rate constant of 6.7x10-⁴s-¹. a) i
Rus_ich [418]

Answer: a)  The concentration after 8.8min is 0.17 M

b) Time taken for the concentration of cyclopropane to decrease from 0.25M to 0.15M is 687 seconds.

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) concentration after 8.8 min:

8.8\times 60s=\frac{2.303}{6.7\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}}\log\frac{0.25}{a-x}

\log\frac{0.25}{a-x}=0.15

\frac{0.25}{a-x}=1.41

(a-x)=0.17M

b) for concentration to decrease from 0.25M to 0.15M

t=\frac{2.303}{6.7\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}}\log\frac{0.25}{0.15}\\\\t=\frac{2.303}{6.7\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}}\times 0.20

t=687s

A compound has a pka of 7.4. to 100 ml of a 1.0 m solution of this compound at ph 8.0 is added 30 ml of 1.0 m hydrochloric acid.
Monica [59]
 Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation on the solution before HCl addition: pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]) 8.0 = 7.4 + log([A-]/[HA]); [A-]/[HA] = 4.0. (equation 1) Also, 0.1 L * 1.0 mol/L = 0.1 moles total of the compound. Therefore, [A-] + [HA] = 0.1 (equation 2) Solving the simultaneous equations 1 and 2 gives: A- = 0.08 moles AH = 0.02 moles Adding strong acid reduces A- and increases AH by the same amount. 0.03 L * 1 mol/L = 0.03 moles HCl will be added, soA- = 0.08 - 0.03 = 0.05 moles AH = 0.02 + 0.03 = 0.05 moles Therefore, after HCl addition, [A-]/[HA] = 0.05 / 0.05 = 1.0 Resubstituting into the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: pH = 7.4 + log(1.0) = 7.4, the final pH.

Lilit [14]
If the patient has to take 2 tablets every 8 hours for 7 days.
 24/8=3     3*2=6
this means that he patient will have to take 6 tablets every day. 
6*7=42   And the patient must take 42 tablets in all 7 days
Hope this helps! :)
