Answer:
the correct answer is b. Co2...............
Answer:
Inert gases or noble gases
Explanation:
These gases have 8 outer shells meaning their full so they won't allow chemical reactions therefore providing an inert environment hence the name inert gas.
Answer:
The limiting reactant is the Salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃)
Explanation:
In order to find the limting reactant or the excess reactant of a chemical reaction we have to compare the moles of each reactant to the stoichiometry of the reaction; we usually make rules of three.
First of all we need to convert the mass of the reactants, to moles:
70 g / 138 g/mol = 0.507 moles of salicylic acid
80g / 102 g/mol = 0.784 moles of acetic anhydride
The reaction is: 2C₇H₆O₃ (aq) + C₄H₆O₃(aq) → 2C₉H₈O₄(aq) + H₂O(l)
Ratio is 2:1.
2 moles of salicylic acid need 1 mol of acetic anhydride to react
Then, 0.507 moles of salicylic will react with (0.507 . 1) / 2 = 0.254 moles of acetic anhydride (It's ok, I have 0.784 moles and I only need 0.254 moles, so acetic anhydride still remains, the C₄H₆O₃ is the excess reactant)
In conclussion, the limiting reactant is the Salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃)
Let's verify: 1 mol of anhyride needs 2 moles of salicylic acid
Therefore, 0.784 moles of anhydride will react with (0.784 . 2) /1 = 1.57 moles. → We do not have enough C₇H₆O₃, we have 0.507 moles but we need 1.57.
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
In this reaction we have the ethyl acetoacetate which is reacting with 2 eq of sodium etoxide. The sodium etoxide is a base and it usually behaves as a nucleophyle of many reactions. Therefore, it will atract all the acidics protons in a molecule.
In the case of the ethyl acetoacetate, the protons that are in the methylene group (CH3 - CO - CH2 - COOCH2CH3) are the more acidic protons, therefore the etoxide will substract these protons instead of the protons of the methyl groups. This is because those hydrogens (in the methylene group) are between two carbonile groups, which make them more available and acidic for any reaction. As we have 2 equivalents of etoxide, means that it will substract both of the hydrogen atoms there, and then, reacts with the Br - CH2CH2 - Br and form a product of an aldolic condensation.
The mechanism of this reaction to reach X is shown in the attached picture.
