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.
Remembering the equation Q=MCdeltaT where
q=is the amount of heat energy
M=mass
C=specific heat
deltaT= change in temperature
Therefore, using the equation we can substitute values and solve for q.
Q= (15 grams) (0.129 J/(gx°C))(85-22)
Q=(15) ((0.129 J/(gx°C)) (63)
Q=121.9 Joules
The energy needed to raise the temperature of 15 grams of gold from 22 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius is then 121.9 Joules or 122 Joules (if rounded up).
The pressure of the carbon dioxide will be 0.09079 atm.
<h3>What is partial pressure?</h3>
The pressure exerted by the individual gas is known as partial pressure.
The partial pressure is given as

In a mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen, 40.0% of the gas pressure is exerted by oxygen.
If the total pressure is 115 mmHg.
The total pressure in atm will be
P = 115 mmHg
P = 0.15132 atm
We have

Then the pressure of the carbon dioxide will be 0.09079 atm.
