The reaction of acetic acid with isopentyl alcohol is

CH3COOH + C5H12O  ---> C7H14O2  + H2O

Thus one mole of acetic acid reacts with one mole of isopentyl alcohol to give one mole isopentyl acetate

Molar mass of acetic acid = 60.05 g / mole

Moles of acetic acid used = Mass used  / Molar mass = 1.87/ 60.05 = 0.0311

Molar mass of isopentyl alcohol = 88.15 g / mole

Moles of isopentyl alcohol = Mass / Molar mass = 2.31 / 88.15 = 0.0262

Molar mass of isopentyl acetate = 130.19 g / mole

Moles of isopentyl acetate = 3.20 / 130.19 = 0.0246

As per equation 0.0262  should of isopentyl alcohol should react with 0.0262 moles of acetic acid to give 0.0262 isopentyl acetate

Thus theoretical yield = 0.0262 moles

Actual yield = 0.0246

% yield = Actual yield X 100 / theoretical yield = 0.0246 X 100 / 0.0262 = 93.89%

The proposed mechanism for a reaction is: Step 1: A + B X (fast) Step 2: X + C Y (slow) Step 3: Y D (fast) What is the overall r
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

(slow)xy2+z→xy2z (fast) c step1:step2:xy2+z2→xy2z2

Explanation:

Step1: xy2+z2→xy2z2 (slow)

Step2: xy2z2→xy2z+z (fast)

2XY 2 + Z 2 → 2XY 2 Z

Rate= k[xy2][z2]

 

When the two elementary steps are summed up, the result is equivalent to the stoichiometric equation. Hence, this mechanism is acceptable. The order of both elementary steps is 2, which is ‘≤3’; this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Furthermore, the rate equation aligns with the experimentally determined rate equation, and this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Therefore, since all the three rules have been observed, this mechanism is possible.

POS MOLECULES SPEED UP WHEN ENERGY IS CREATED AND SLOW DOWN WHEN ENERGY IS DESTROYED True False? explain why​
Colt1911 [192]

Answer: Scientists use the term bioenergetics to describe the concept of energy flow (Figure 4.2) through living systems, such as cells. Cellular processes such as the building and breaking down of complex molecules occur through stepwise chemical reactions. Some of these chemical reactions are spontaneous and release energy, whereas others require energy to proceed. Just as living things must continually consume food to replenish their energy supplies, cells must continually produce more energy to replenish that used by the many energy-requiring chemical reactions that constantly take place. Together, all of the chemical reactions that take place inside cells, including those that consume or generate energy, are referred to as the cell’s metabolism.

Classify each of the observed changes according to whether or not they are likely to represent evidence that a chemical reaction
Mama L [17]

Answer:

a solution color becoming less intense  due to dilution- is not an evidence of a chemical reaction

bubbles (gas formation) - evidence of a chemical reaction

explosion or fire - evidence of a chemical reaction

changes in color- evidence of a chemical reaction

precipitation- evidence of a chemical reaction

changes in temperature - evidence of a chemical reaction

a solid liquifying - is not an evidence of a chemical reaction

solution colors mixing - is not an evidence of a chemical reaction

Explanation:

A chemical change is not easily reversible and yields new substances. It is often accompanied by a loss or gain of heat.

In the answer section, i have shown some evidences that lead us to conclude that a chemical reaction has taken place. The occurrence of a chemical change often goes with the formation of new substances as earlier stated and any of these signs may accompany the process.

For instance, when a metal is dropped in dilute acid solution, bubble of hydrogen gas indicates that a chemical reaction has taken place.
