Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Fischer esterification is a type of reaction used  to convert carboxylic acids to ester in the presence of excess alcohol and a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. Another final product formed in the reaction is water.

The mechanism for the fischer esterification of Benzoic acid and  C H 3 O H in the presence of HCl as the catalyst is shown in the image attached to this answer.

The final products of the reaction are methyl benzoate, water and H^+ as shown in the image attached.

What characteristic bright line spectrum of an elementforced when electrons?
emmasim [6.3K]

The characteristic bright-line spectrum of an element is produced when its electrons return to lower energy levels To be in the ground state all electrons must be in their lowest energy state; all excited atoms must lose energy. The lost energy appears in the form of light. Hope this helped :)

Calculate the change in the molar Gibbs’ Free Energy when the volume of 1.0 mol Ar(g) held at 500 K is increased from 0.5 L to 4
Sidana [21]

Answer:

energy and the equilibrium constant.

The sign of the standard free energy change ΔG° of a chemical reaction determines whether the reaction will tend to proceed in the forward or reverse direction.

Similarly, the relative signs of ΔG° and ΔS° determine whether the spontaniety of a chemical reaction will be affected by the temperature, and if so, in what way.

ΔG is meaningful only for changes in which the temperature and pressure remain constant. These are the conditions under which most reactions are carried out in the laboratory; the system is usually open to the atmosphere (constant pressure) and we begin and end the process at room temperature (after any heat we have added or which is liberated by the reaction has dissipated.) The importance of the Gibbs function can hardly be over-stated: it serves as the single master variable that determines whether a given chemical change is thermodynamically possible. Thus if the free energy of the reactants is greater than that of the products, the entropy of the world will increase when the reaction takes place as written, and so the reaction will tend to take place spontaneously. Conversely, if the free energy of the products exceeds that of the reactants, then the reaction will not take place in the direction written, but it will tend to proceed in the reverse direction.
