We are asked to provide an equation for the transformation of 2-phenylethanoic acid to 2-phenylethanol. This type of a reaction is converting a carboxylic acid to an alcohol, which is classified as a reduction reaction since we are decreasing the number of bonds to oxygen in the molecule. In order to reduce a carbonyl to an alcohol, we need a source of hydride, H⁻. Reducing the carboxylic acid once will convert it to the aldehyde. However, we need to reduce the functional group all the way down to an alcohol, which is another reduction step after aldehyde formation. Therefore, the hydride source of choice is lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH₄.
A reaction scheme is provided to show the reaction of the reduction of carboxylic acid to alcohol. The first step is addition of lithium aluminum hydride which does the reduction, and the second step is a work-up of acid which protonates the alcohol to get the final product.
Concentration of a solution can be expressed in terms of molarity and molality
Molarity is the number of moles of solute in a liter of a solution.
Molarity (M) = Moles of solute/Volume(litres) of solution
Molality is the number of moles of solute in one kg of the solution
Molality (m) = Moles of solute/Mass (kg) of solution
Therefore if the volume or the mass of the solution is changed this would affect the concentration.
In addition, volume is a quantity which depends on temperature. However, mass is independent of temperature. Therefore any changes in temperature, can also bring about a change in the molarity of the solution.
Answer:
3626.76dm³
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of moles of Nitrogen in tank = 17moles
Temperature of the gas = 34°C
Pressure on the gas = 12000Pa
Unkown:
Volume of the tank, V =?
Converting the parameters to workable units:
We take the temperature from °C to Kelvin
K = 273 + °C = 273 + 34 = 307k
Taking the pressure in Pa to atm:
101325Pa = 1atm
12000Pa = 0.118atm
Solution:
To solve this problem, we employ the use of the ideal gas equation. The ideal gas law combines three gas laws which are the Boyle's law, Charles's law and the Avogadro's law.
It is expressed as PV = nRT
The unknown is the Volume and we make it the subject of the formula
V = 
Where R is called the gas constant and it is given as 0.082atmdm³mol⁻¹K⁻¹
Therefore V = 
= 3626.76dm³
