What reaction conditions most effectively conver a cabocxylic acid to a methly ester?

Chemistry
1 answer:
VLD [36.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Esterification reaction

Explanation:

When we have to go from an acid to an ester we can use the <u>esterification reaction</u>. On this reaction, an alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid on acid medium to produce an ester and water. (See figure).  

In this case, we need the <u>methyl ester</u>, therefore we have to choose the <u>appropriate alcohol</u>, so we have to use the <u>methanol</u> as reactive if we have to produce the methyl ester.

What is the % dissociation of a solution of acetic acid if at equilibrium the solution has a pH = 4.74 and a pKa = 4.74?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

\% diss = 50\%

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, when considering weak acids which have an associated percent dissociation, we first need to set up the ionization reaction and the equilibrium expression:

HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-\\\\Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

Now, by introducing x as the reaction extent which also represents the concentration of both H+ and A-, we have:

Ka=\frac{x^2}{[HA]_0-x} =10^{-4.74}=1.82x10^{-5}

Thus, it is possible to find x given the pH as shown below:

x=10^{-pH}=10^{-4.74}=1.82x10^{-5}M

So that we can calculate the initial concentration of the acid:

\frac{(1.82x10^{-5})^2}{[HA]_0-1.82x10^{-5}} =1.82x10^{-5}\\\\\frac{1.82x10^{-5}}{[HA]_0-1.82x10^{-5}} =1\\\\

[HA]_0=3.64x10^{-5}M

Therefore, the percent dissociation turns out to be:

\% diss=\frac{x}{[HA]_0}*100\% \\\\\% diss=\frac{1.82x10^{-5}M}{3.64x10^{-5}M}*100\% \\\\\% diss = 50\%

Best regards!

The average atomic mass of the imaginary element : 47.255 amu

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes  

Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)  

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% ..

isotope E-47 47.011 amu, 87.34%

isotope E-48 48.008 amu, 6.895

isotope E-49 50.009 amu, 5.77%

The average atomic mass :

\tt avg~mass=0.8734\times 47.011+0.06895\times 48.008+0.0577\times 50.009\\\\avg~mass=41.059+3.310+2.886\\\\avg~mass=47.255~amu

Find the empirical formula of the compound ribose, a simple sugar often used as a nutritional supplement. A 14.229 g sample of r
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

CH2O

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to convert the masses of the elements to percentage compositions. This can be done by placing the mass of each element over the total mass multiplied by 100% . We can start with carbon.

C = 5.692/14.229 * 100 = 40%

O = 7.582/14.229 * 100 = 53.29%

H = 0.955/14.229 * 100 = 6.71%

We then proceed to divide each percentage composition by their atomic mass of 12, 16 and 1 respectively.

C = 40/12 = 3.333

O = 53.29/16 = 3.33

H = 6.71/2 = 6.71

Dividing by the smaller value which is 3.33

C = 3.33/3.33 = 1

O = 3.33/3.33= 1

H = 6.71/3.33 = 2

The empirical formula of the compound ribose is CH2O
