Describe the saponification process

1 answer:

4 0

Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long chain fatty acids. When triglycerides in fat/oil react with aqueous NaOH or KOH, they are converted into soap and glycerol. This is called alkaline hydrolysis of esters. Since this reaction leads to the formation of soap, it is called the Saponification Process.

The rate of Formation of Carbocation mainly depends on two factors'

1) Stability of Carbocation:
The ease of formation of Carbocation mainly depends upon the ionization of substrate. If the forming carbocation id tertiary then it is more stable and hence readily formed as compared to secondary and primary.

2) Ease of detaching of Leaving Group:
The more readily and easily the leaving group leaves the more readily the carbocation is formed and vice versa. In given scenario the carbocation formed is tertiary in all three cases, the difference comes in the leaving group. So, among these three substrates the one containing Iodo group will easily dissociate to form tertiary carbocation because due to its large size Iodine easily leaves the substrate, secondly Chlorine is a good leaving group compared to Fluoride. Hence the order of rate of formation of carbocation is,

R-I > R-Cl > R-F

B > C > A

Where is the energy added to a chemical reaction stored

leonid [27]

Answer:

Chemical energy is energy stored in the structure of molecules within the bonds between atoms. Energy can be added or released from a molecule by changing the arrangement of electrons (rearranging chemical bonds).

I’ve been stuck on these 5 questions!? Can you guys help?!

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

1. 0.224 moles of oxygen

3. 143.36 L oxygen gas

5. 0.059 atm

10. 5.14 atm

11. 307 K

Explanation:

1. You have to use the ideal gas law: PV=nRT where P is pressure in atm, V is volume in liters, n is number of moles, R is the constant 0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1, and T is the temperature in Kelvins where K=degrees celsius+273.15 . By rearranging the equation, you solve for n, which is n=(PV)/(RT)

P= 28.3 atm

V=0.193 L

R= 0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1

T= 24.5+273.15= 297.65 K

Plugging the values in,

n=(28.3 atm x 0.193 L)/(0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1 x 297.65 K)

n= 0.224 moles of oxygen

3. At STP, there are 22.4 L of gas for every mole of gas present. So 6.4 moles of oxygen would mean that there are:

6.4 mol x 22.4 L= 143.36 L oxygen gas

5. You have to use the ideal gas law: PV=nRT where P is pressure in atm, V is volume in liters, n is number of moles, R is the constant 0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1, and T is the temperature in Kelvins where K=degrees celsius+273.15 . By rearranging the equation, you solve for P, which is P=(nRT)/V

n= 0.72 g converting to moles, divide by molar mass of oxygen gas: 0.72 g/32g= 0.0225 moles

V=9.3 L

R= 0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1

T= 23.0+273.15= 296.15 K

Plugging the values in,

P=(0.0225 moles x 0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1 x 296.15 K)/ 9.3 L

P= 0.059 atm

10. Ideal gas law again using the same equation as 5 above: You have to use the ideal gas law: PV=nRT where P is pressure in atm, V is volume in liters, n is number of moles, R is the constant 0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1, and T is the temperature in Kelvins where K=degrees celsius+273.15 . By rearranging the equation, you solve for P, which is P=(nRT)/V

n= 0.108 mol

R=0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1

T=20.0+273.15= 293.15 K

V= 0.505 L

Plugging the values in,

P=(0.108 mol x 0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1 x 293.15 K)/0.505 L

P= 5.14 atm

11. You have to use the ideal gas law: PV=nRT where P is pressure in atm, V is volume in liters, n is number of moles, R is the constant 0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1, and T is the temperature in Kelvins where K=degrees celsius+273.15 . By rearranging the equation, you solve for Y, which is T=(PV)/(nR)

P= 0.988 atm

V= 1.20 L

n= 0.0470 mol

R=0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1

Plugging the numbers in,

T=(0.988 atm x 1.20 L)/(0.0470 mol x 0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1)

T= 307 K
