Answer:

that results in an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.

Explanation:

Saponification is a chemical reaction process of alkaline hydrolysis of esters(R'COOR group) by which soap is obtained.

For Example, when a base such as sodium hydroxide [NaOH]  is used to hydrolyze an ester, the products are a carboxylate salt and an alcohol. Because soaps are prepared by the alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils.

In a saponification reaction, alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils with sodium hydroxide  yields propane-1,2,3-triol and the corresponding sodium salts of the component fatty acids.

i.e  Fat or oil + caustic alkali ⇒ Soap + propane-1,2,3-triol

As a specific example, ethyl acetate and NaOH react to form sodium acetate and ethanol:

The reaction goes to completion in the image below:

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

NaH(s)+ H2O (l)=>NaOH(aq)+H2(g)

You want to calculate the mass of NaH, I assume.  Otherwise, the question isn't clear.  It simply says calculate the mass(??)

 

So, calculate the moles of H2 gas that satisfy the conditions of 982 ml at 28ºC and 765 torr.  But you must subtract the vapor pressure of water at 28º to get the actual pressure of the H2 gas.  So, the actual conditions are 982 ml (0.982 L) and 301 K and 765-28 = 737 torr.

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT = (737 torr)(0.982 L)/(62.4 L-torr/Kmol)(301 K)

n = 0.0385 moles H2

 

moles NaH needed = 0.0385 moles H2 x 1 mole NaH/mole H2 = 0.0385 moles NaH required

mass of NaH needed = 0.0385 moles x 24 g/mole = 0.925 g NaH

Explain why we experience seasons. *
REY [17]

Answer:

Seasons occur because Earth is tilted on its axis relative to the orbital plane, the invisible, flat disc where most objects in the solar system orbit the sun. ... In June, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the sun's rays hit it for a greater part of the day than in winter.

Three common gaseous compounds of nitrogen and oxygen of different elementary composition are known: (A) laughing gas containing
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Please find how these data prove the law of multiple proportions below

Explanation:

The law of multiple proportions was proposed by an English chemist called John Dalton. The law states that when two elements combine and to form more than one compound. The weights/masses of the second element in the two compounds, which combines with a fixed ratio of the first element, is in a simple whole number ratio.

In this question, Nitrogen is said to combine with oxygen to give three different compounds as follows:

A) laughing gas containing 63.65% nitrogen i.e. 0.6365g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be (1-0.6365) = 0.3635g

B) colorless gas containing 46.68% nitrogen i.e. 0.4668g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be 0.5332g

C) brown toxic gas containing 30.45% nitrogen i.e. 0.3045g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be 0.6955g

The ratios of oxygen in the three compounds is therefore:

0.3635: 0.5332: 0.6955

Divide this ratio by the smallest number (0.3635)

0.3635/0.3635 = 1

0.5332/0.3635 = 1.467

0.6955/0.3635 = 1.913

Multiply this ratio by 2, we have:

2: 2.9 : 3.8

Hence, the simple whole number ratio is 2:3:4.

This proves the law of multiple proportions that oxygen is in simple whole number ratio in the three different compounds.
