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 an experiment between 26.4 grams of Mg and O,, Mgo is produced. The percent
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

39.6 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2Mg(s) + O2(g) --------> 2MgO(s)

To obtain the limiting reactant;

Number of moles in 26.4 g of Mg = 26.4g/24 g/mol = 1.1 moles

If 2 moles of Mg yields 2 moles of MgO

1.1 moles of Mg yields 1.1 * 2/2 = 1.1 moles of MgO

Number of moles in 26.4 g of O2 = 26.4 g/32g/mol = 0.825 moles

If 1 mole of O2 yields 2 moles of MgO

0.825 moles of O2 yields 0.825 moles * 2/1 = 1.65 moles of MgO

Hence Mg is the limiting reactant.

Theoretical yield of MgO = 1.1 moles of MgO * 40 g/mol = 44 g

Percent yield = 90%

Percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100

Actual yield = Percent yield * theoretical yield/100

Actual yield = 90 * 44/100

Actual yield = 39.6 g

A solution contains 14 grams of KCl in 100. grams of water at 40°C. What is the minimum amount of KCl that must be added to make
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

1386g

Explanation:

Solubility of a solute is the ability of the solute to mix into a liquid (the solvent). It measures the highest amount of substance mixed into a liquid solvent while they are both at equal amounts.

if 14g dissolved in 100cm3

  the amount that will dissolve in 1000cm3 = 14 x 1000/ 100

                                                                      =1400g

To form a saturated solution, 1400 - 14 = 1386g must be added.

This number tells you the number of each type of atom in a compound.
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

avogadro's constant

Explanation:

this is the fixed number of the atoms in the molecule of an element

avogadro's law states that equal volumes of gases<em> </em><em>at</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>same</em><em> </em><em>temperature</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>pressure</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>contain</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em><em>numbers</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>molecules</em><em> </em>

<em>that</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>all</em><em> </em><em>gases</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em>same</em><em> </em><em>temperature</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>pressure</em><em> </em><em>will</em><em> </em><em>always</em><em> </em><em>have</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em><em>numbers</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>molecules</em><em> </em>
