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.

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three fundamentally known states of matter save for plasma and the Bose-Einstein condensate. These states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.

We can classify nearly all matter into these discrete categories based on certain lucid characteristics they exhibit.

  • Solids have definite shape and volume and they exhibit by the far the most remarkable internal ordering. Their molecules are attached by strong internal forces.
  • Liquids do not have a definite shape but takes the shape of the contains that hold them. They are not random and have internal cohesion among them.
  • Gases are random particles and highly varied. They move haphazardly and have no definite shape and volume.

In the ground-state electron configuration of fe3+, how many unpaired electrons are present? express your answer numerically as
Virty [35]
Answer:
            Iron has 5 unpaired electrons in Fe⁺³ state.

Explanation:

Iron having atomic number 26 has following electronic configuration in neutral state.

                             Fe =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d⁶

When Iron looses three electrons it attains +3 charge with following electronic configuration.

                             Fe⁺³ =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 3d⁵

The five electrons in d-orbital exist in unpaired form as,

                          3(dz)¹, 3d(xz)¹, 3d(yz)¹, 3d(xy)¹, 3(dx²-y²)¹
