As discussed in class, the Fischer esterification reactants and products are at equilibrium. How was the equilibrium of the reac

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The particular reactants in the Fischer esterification reaction were not stated.

Generally, a Fischer esterification is a reaction that proceeds as follows;

RCOOH + R'OH ⇄RCOOR' + H2O

This reaction occurs in the presence of an acid catalyst.

We can shift the equilibrium of this reaction towards the products side in two ways;

I) use of a large excess of either of the reactants

ii) removal of one of the products as it is formed.

Any of these methods shifts the equilibrium of the Fischer esterification reaction towards the products side.

Which of the following processes would you predict to have an increase in entropy?
Anna [14]
C. Melting ice. 
It is C because melting ice is a change of state from solid to liquid which requires an addition of energy(or entropy) into the system.
Condensation of water occurs from a gas to a liquid state, which takes energy out of the system(water) and gives it to the surroundings(air around it). Freezing water is the same as condensation except for the state change. Deposition is simply gas to a solid instantaneously so you can again see it as with the other two examples.

The best answer among the choices is option D. New substances are being formed will best explain that this process is a chemical change. Although, it cannot be seen directly we knew that an acid and base will undergo neutralization reaction forming a salt and water. The heat given off by the reaction can be a parameter however it does not only happens for reactions. It can also happen when dissolving substances.

Care to help me guys please​

Answer:

A. Na₂SO₄ and HCl

C. Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents but are insoluble in non-polar solvents Non-polar solutes are insoluble in polar solvents but are are soluble in non-polar solvents

Ionic solutes are soluble in polar solvents but are insoluble in non-polar solvents.

Like dissolves like simply means that molecules of substances having similar chemical properties dissolve in each other

Explanation:

A. Ionic substances like Na₂SO₄ are composed of charged particles called ions. These ions are either positively charged or negatively charged, therefore, they are attracted to substances of opposite charges. Also, polar molecules like HCl contains two oppositely charged ends. A polar solvent consists of molecules with two oppositely charged ends, therefore, ionic substances as well polar substances dissolve in them according to the concept of like dissolves like.

Gasoline being non-polar will only dissolve in like substances, polar solvents.

C. Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents but are insoluble in non-polar solvents Non-polar solutes are insoluble in polar solvents but are are soluble in non-polar solvents

Ionic solutes are soluble in polar solvents but are insoluble in non-polar solvents.

The statement "Like dissolves like" simply means that molecules of substances having similar chemical properties dissolve in each other. For example gasoline, a non-polar substance will dissolve only in a non-polar solvent like kerosene. Also, HCl, a polar molecule will dissolve in a polar solvent like water.
