U4+

Answer:

U⁴⁺  

Explanation:

Fluorine stabilizes metals in higher oxidation states with high M:F ratios.

Hard acids prefer to bind to hard bases.

U⁴⁺ is the hardest acid in the list and F⁻ is a hard base, so an eight-coordinate complex of U⁴⁺ is the most stable.

The molarity of an aqueous sodium phosphate solution is 0.650 M. What is the molality of sodium ions present in this solution? T
netineya [11]

Answer:

molality of sodium ions is 1.473 m

Explanation:

Molarity is moles of solute per litre of solution

Molality is moles of solute per kg of solvent.

The volume of solution = 1 L

The mass of solution = volume X density = 1000mL X 1.43 = 1430 grams

The mass of solute = moles X molar mass of sodium phosphate = 0.65X164

mass of solute = 106.6 grams

the mass of solvent = 1430 - 106.6 = 1323.4 grams = 1.3234 Kg

the molality = \frac{moles of solute}{mass of solvent in kg}=\frac{0.65}{1.323}= 0.491m

Thus molality of sodium phosphate is 0.491 m

Each sodium phosphate of molecule will give three sodium ions.

Thus molality of sodium ions = 3 X 0.491 = 1.473 m

Chlorine is a halogen and has 7 valence electrons, which is represented by crosses on the left
makkiz [27]

There are 2 electrons in the overlapping region.

Chlorine is the second member of the halogen group which are form of family of elements that resemble one another very closely.

The electronic configuration of chlorine shows the arrangement of chlorine electrons within it's atom.

At the outer most shell of the atom is seven electrons, therefore requires only one electron each to attain the octet arrangement.

The overlapping of the orbitals indicates the chemical bond formed by sharing of electrons between atoms called covalent bonding.

To complete it's outer most shell, it will need to share electron with another chlorine atom.

Therefore, there are 2 electrons in the overlapping region.

Why do you require an acid catalyst to make an ester? Why not just mix acid and alcohol? Describe an alternate method of making
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:Acid catalyst is needed to increase the electrophilicity of Carbonyl group of Carboxylic acid as alcohol is a weak nucleophile.

Alternatively esters can be synthesised by converting carboxylic acid into acyl chloride using thionyl chloride(SOCl_{2} and then further treating acyl chloride with alcohol.

Carboxylic acid and esters can be easily distinguished on the basis of IR as carboxylic acid would contain a broad intense peak in 2500-3200cm_{-1} corresponding to OH stretching frequency whereas esters would not contain any such broad intense peak.

Alcohol and esters can also be distinguished using IR as alcohols would contain a broad intense peak at around 3200-3600cm_{-1}

Explanation: For the synthesis of esters using alcohol and carboxylic acid we need to add a little amount of acid in the reaction . The acid used here increases the electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon and hence makes it easier for a weaker nucleophile like alcohol to attack the carbonyl carbon of acid.

The oxygen of the carbonyl group is protonated using the acidic proton which  leads to the generation of positive charge on the oxygen. The positive charge generated is delocalised over the whole acid molecule and hence the electrophilicity of carbonyl group is increased. Kindly refer attachment for the structures.

If we simply mix the acid and alcohol then no appreciable reaction would take place between them and ester formation would not take place because the carboxylic acid in that case is not a good electrophile whereas alcohol is also not a very strong nucleophile which can attack the carbonyl group.

Alternatively we can use thionyl chloride or any other reagent which can convert the carboxylic acid into acyl chloride. Acyl chloride is very elctrophilic and alcohol can very easily attack the acyl chloride and esters could be synthesized.

The carboxylic acid and ester can very easily be distinguished on the basis of broad intense OH stretching frequency peak at around 2500-3200cm_{-1} . The broad intense OH stretching frequency peak is present in carboxylic acids as they contain OH groups and absent in case of esters .

Likewise esters and alcohols can also be distinguished on the basis IR spectra as alcohols will have broad intense spectra  at around 3200-3600cm_{-1}corresponding to OH stretching frequency whereas esters will not have any such peak. Rather esters would be having a Carbonyl stretching frequency at around 1720-1760
