Could acetic acid be used in the esterification, instead of acetyl chloride? Why or why not?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vanyuwa [196]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Yes, acetic acid could be used, but it would not be as effective as acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride. ... However, the acetic anhydride would still be reacting with an alcohol, so nothing changes in that respect. Also, the reaction would need to be done in basic solution.

what is the approximate ph at the equivalence point of a weak acid-strong base titration if 25 ml of aqueous formic acid require
vivado [14]

Answer:

pH at equivalence point is 8.52

Explanation:

HCOOH+NaOH\rightarrow HCOO^{-}Na^{+}+H_{2}O

1 mol of HCOOH reacts with 1 mol of NaOH to produce 1 mol of HCOO^{-}

So, moles of NaOH used to reach equivalence point equal to number of moles HCOO^{-} produced at equivalence point.

As density of water is 1g/mL, therefore molarity is equal to molality of an aqueous solution.

So, moles of HCOO^{-} produced = \frac{29.80\times 0.3567}{1000}moles=0.01063moles

Total volume of solution at equivalence point = (25+29.80) mL = 54.80 mL

So, at equivalence point concentration of HCOO^{-} = \frac{0.01063\times 1000}{54.80}M=0.1940M

At equivalence point, pH depends upon hydrolysis of HCOO^{-}. So, we have to construct an ICE table.

HCOO^{-}+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons HCOOH+OH^{-}

I: 0.1940                                   0                 0

C: -x                                          +x               +x

E: 0.1940-x                                x                  x

So, \frac{[HCOOH][OH^{-}]}{[HCOO^{-}]}=K_{b}(HCOO^{-})=\frac{10^{-14}}{Ka(HCOOH)}

species inside third bracket represent equilibrium concentrations

So, \frac{x^{2}}{0.1940-x}=5.56\times 10^{-11}

or,x^{2}+(5.56\times 10^{-11}\times x)-(1.079\times 10^{-11})=0

So, x=\frac{-(5.56\times 10^{-11})+\sqrt{(5.56\times 10^{-11})^{2}+(4\times 1.079\times 10^{-11})}}{2}

So, x=3.285\times 10^{-6}M

So, pH=14-pOH=14+log[OH^{-}]=14+logx=14+log(3.285\times 10^{-6})=8.52

How to we measure energy?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The official measurement unit for energy is the Joule (J). Among the most common units measuring energy mention should be made of the kilowatt/hour (kWh), used especially for electric energy (in fact it is used to calculate electricity bills).

Explain what happens to the heat that is being added to a substance when the substance is changing phase.
nekit [7.7K]
<span>When a substance changes from one state, or phase, of matter to another we say that it has undergone a change of state, or we say that it has undergone a change of phase. For example, ice melts and becomes water; water evaporates and becomes water vapor.These changes of phase always occur with a change of heat. Heat, which is energy, either comes into the material during a change of phase or heat comes out of the material during this change. However, although the heat content of the material changes, the temperature does not.</span>

How do catalysts affect energy of reactions
Strike441 [17]

Explanation:

A catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction allowing them to proceed faster than they would naturally. Activation energy is the free energy that is required to be input in the reactant side to activate them to the transition state after which the reaction proceeds spontaneously to products.

An example of a catalyst is platinum, that is put in the exhaust of cars, to help convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide before it is emitted into the air.
