Match the procedural step to its purpose in the written procedure for the Fischer esterification of benzoic acid with methanol i

n the presence of mineral acid.
a. Flat-bottomed flasks transfer heat in an uneven fashion, and may fracture if heated strongly.
b. Methanol, which is used as a reagent and solvent, is flammable.
c. The unreacted carboxylic acid was neutralized under mild conditions.
d. Water needs to be removed before the liquid ester product is collected.

1. Magnesium sulfate is added to the dichloromethane layer before the solvent is distilled off.
2. The reagents were added to a round bottom flask prior to the reaction being heated under reflux.
3. The solution of benzoic acid and methanol was heated on a steam bath.

Answer:

a. 2. The reagents were added to a round bottom flask prior to the reaction being heated under reflux.

b. 3. The solution of benzoic acid and methanol was heated in a steam bath

c. 4. The reaction mix was washed with sodium carbonate solution.

d. 1. Magnesium sulfate is added to the dichloromethane layer before the solvent is distilled off.

Explanation:

Fisher esterification is an equilibrium process. There are unreacted carboxylic acids in the reaction mix which are weak acids and they neutralize into aqueous solution. Magnesium sulfate is drying agent there water should be removed from dichloromethane solution before the solvent is distilled off.

In a water molecule, two hydrogen atoms bind to one oxygen atom. How many lone pairs of electrons will be shown around each hydr
anzhelika [568]
There are no lone pair of electrons shown around the hydrogen atoms, rather there are 2 lone election pairs present around the central atom in this Lewis structure and that is Oxygen. Hydrogen only has bonding electrons, and it requires 2 electrons per hydrogen to achieve stability and have a full valence electron shell.

A car with a mass of 1,000 kg is moving at a speed of 20 m/s. What is the car's kinetic energy?
shtirl [24]

The answer would be 200000 J. the equation for kinetic energy is 1/2 mass times velocity squared. 1/2 of 1,000 is 500. and 20*20 is 400. So, multiply 400 by 500, and that gives you your answer,

Identify and explain exothermic and endothermic reactions in terms of energy transfer
Ulleksa [173]
Exothermic reaction is when the system releases energy to the surrounding, the energy (in the perspective of the system) will have a sign of negative, as the system is transferring energy towards the surrounding.

Endothermic reaction is when the system is absorbing energy from the surrounding, the energy (in the perspective of the system) will have a sign of positive, as energy is transferred to the system.
