Answer:
1. The product has a higher Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate because it is more polar than the starting methyl benzoate.
2. False
3. True
Explanation:
In chromatography, there is a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The ratio of the distance moved by a component and the distance moved by the solvent gives the retention factor (Rf).
Since silica gel is a polar solvent, it will retain the more polar product methyl m-nitrobenzoate compared to the methyl benzoate starting material.
In comparing the electrophillic aromatic substitution of m-nitrobenzoate and methyl benzoate, we must remember that the presence of electron withdrawing groups (such as -NO2 and -CHO) on the aromatic compound deactivates the compound towards electrophillic aromatic substitution hence, methyl m-nitrobenzoate is less reactive than methyl benzoate in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition and Methyl benzoate is less reactive than benzene in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition
Answer:
Increasing the temperature will cause chemical changes to occur faster. Decreasing the temperature, causes the particles to lose energy which causes them to move around less and slower. The less they move, the less collisions occur, and the less reactions occur between the chemicals = slower reaction rate.
Explanation:
Phosphorus can be prepared from calcium phosphate by the following reaction:
Phosphorite is a mineral that contains 
plus other non-phosphorus-containing compounds. What is the maximum amount of 
that can be produced from 2.3 kg of phosphorite if the phorphorite sample is 75% by mass? Assume an excess of the other reactants.
Answer: Thus the maximum amount of that can be produced is 0.345 kg
Explanation:
Given mass of phosphorite = 2.3 kg
As given percentage of phosphorite is = 
According to stoichiometry:
2 moles of phosphorite gives = 1 mole of
Thus 5.56 moles of phosphorite give= 
of
Mass of 
Thus the maximum amount of that can be produced is 0.345 kg
