Describe how you would prepare your assigned ester from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. You do not need to include a detailed

procedure, but you should include any necessary reagents or catalyst (solvents are not needed).

Answer:

The general preparation of esters( for example ethyl ethanoate) is through a process known as ESTERIFICATION.

Explanation:

The formation of an ester by the reaction between an alkanol and an acid is known as esterification. This reaction is extremely slow and reversible at room temperature, and is catalyzed by a high concentration of hydrogen ions.

In the preparation of one of the simpler esters known as ETHYL ETHANOATE the reactants include ethanol(an alcohol) and glacial ethanoic acid(a carboxylic acid) in the presence of concentrated tetraoxosulphate VI acid as a CATALYST. Note that, a catalyst is any substance that is able to increase the rate of a chemical reaction.

The mixture is warmed in a water bath( hot but not boiling) for about 25 minutes. The mixture is poured into a beaker partially filled with a sodium or calcium chloride to remove interacted ethanol. The ethyl ETHANOATE floats on the mixture as oily globules.

A negative ion is (larger/smaller) than its parent atom.<br> Why?
Kay [80]

Answer:

When an atom attracts extra electrons it becomes a negative ion. The negative ion is larger than the original atom. The positive nucleus remains the same, with the same attractive force. However, this attractive force is now pulling on more electrons and therefore has less effect.

Or

Positive ions are formed by removing one or more electrons from the outermost region of the atom. The opposite is true of negative ions. When electrons are added to form an anion, the increased electron-electron repulsions cause the electrons to spread out more in space. Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.

You have two compounds that you have spotted on the TLC plate. One compound is more polar than the other. You ran the TLC plate
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

we will except an increase in the polarity of the system and this will cause the Non-polar spot to be near the solvent front, while the polar spot will run at an approximate speed of 0.5 Rf

Explanation:

when we run a TLC plate in a 50/50 mixture of hexanes and ethyl acetate we will except an increase in the polarity of the system and this will cause the Non-polar spot to be near the solvent front, while the polar spot will run at an approximate speed of 0.5 Rf

The speed of the polar spot depends largely on the level of polarity, an increase in the polarity will see both spots of Neat hexane run when we run a TLC  plate in a 50/50 mixture of hexanes and ethyl acetate
