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.

A slice of Swiss cheese contains 48 mg of sodium
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: grams=0.048g, ounces=0.0017oz, 0.00011lb

Explanation:

Stoichiometry

48 mg x  1 g

          ÷  1000 mg  = 0.048 g

48 mg x  1 g            x 16 oz        

          ÷ 1000 mg  ÷ 453.6 g     = 0.0017 oz

48 mg x  1 g            x 1 lb        

          ÷ 1000 mg  ÷ 453.6 g     = 0.00011 lb

Serggg [28]

Answer:

This is what I put, it hasn't been graded though...

Within the system, the energy is flowing from your hand to the ice cream cone. Energy is also flowing from the surroundings to the ice cream cone unless it's reeeeaally cold in the surroundings in which case why are you even holding an ice cream cone when it's that cold?

What will knowledge of chemistry enable you to do?
Fofino [41]
Understanding chemistry and its principles enables us to predict and understand various properties of substances. For example, because we know that ionic bonds are very strong and difficult to break, we know that any substance that has these bonds will have a high melting point, because melting is a process that requires the intermolecular bonds present in the solid state to be broken. This can be applied to table salt, sodium chloride, which has an ionic structure and a melting point of almost 800 degrees Celsius. Similarly, many other properties and characteristics may be predicted using concepts of chemistry.
