Answer : The molal freezing point depression constant of liquid X is, $4.12^oC/m$

Explanation : Given,

Mass of urea (solute) = 5.90 g

Mass of liquid X (solvent) = 450 g = 0.450 kg

Molar mass of urea = 60 g/mole

Formula used :

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T^o-T_s=i\times K_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of urea}}{\text{Molar mass of urea}\times \text{Mass of liquid X Kg}}$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ = change in freezing point

$\Delta T_s$ = freezing point of solution = $-0.5^oC$

$\Delta T^o$ = freezing point of liquid X = $0.4^oC$

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

$K_f$ = Molal-freezing-point-depression constant = ?

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$0.4^oC-(-0.5^oC)=1\times K_f\times \frac{5.90g}{60g/mol\times 0.450kg}$

$K_f=4.12^oC/m$

Therefore, the molal freezing point depression constant of liquid X is, $4.12^oC/m$

Draw the product that valine forms when it reacts with excess CH3CH2OH and HCl followed by a wash with aqueous base.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Product: ethyl L-valinate

Explanation:

If we want to understand what it is the molecule produced we have to analyze the reagents. We have valine an amino acid, in this kind of compounds we have an amine group ( $NH_2$ ) and a carboxylic acid group ( $COOH$ ). Additionally, we have an alcohol ( $CH_3CH_2OH$ ) in the presence of HCl (a strong acid) in the first step, and a base ( $OH^-$ ).

When we have an acid and an alcohol in a vessel we will have an esterification reaction. In other words, an ester is produced. As the first step, the oxygen in the C=O (in the carboxylic acid group) would be protonated. In the second step, the ethanol attacks the carbon in the C=O of the carboxylic acid group producing a new bond between the oxygen in the ethanol and the carbon in the carboxylic acid. In step 3, a proton is transferred to produce a better leaving group ( $H_2O$ ). In step 4, a water molecule leaves the main structure to produce again the double bond C=O. Finally, a base ( $OH^-$ ) removes the hydrogen from the C=O bond to produce ethyl L-valinate
