Answer:

Explanation:

The general equation for the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alkanol to form an ester is shown below;

RCOOH + ROH ------> RCOOR + H2O

Hence; the reactant carboxylic acid can only be the compound (CH3)2-CH-CH2-COOH in accordance with the general reaction equation shown above.

Hence the reaction is;

(CH3)2-CH-CH2-COOH + CH3-CH2OH -------> CH3CH2 OCO-CH2-CH-(CH3)2

Chemists can use moles to calculate: A. How much of the products are needed and how much reactant will be made. B. How much prod

damaskus [11]

Answer:

c.- How much of the reactants are needed and how much product will made.

Explanation:

The moles is the matter unit used in chemistry to simplify some calculations, instead of using grams. Also the moles are very useful because the chemical reaction can be balanced.

When a Chemical reaction is balanced, then it can be easily to calculate how many moles are necessary to add in a process to obtain a quantity of grams of a product.

Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of permanganate ion mno−4 to solid manganese dioxide mno2 in acidic aqueous sol

Svetlanka [38]

The half-reaction includes either the reduction or the oxidation reaction of the redox reactions. In acidic solution permanganate ion will react with hydrogen ion to yield manganese ion and water.

<h3>What are Redox reactions?</h3>

Redox or oxidation-reduction reactions are the chemical reactions in which the oxidation and the reduction of the chemical species occur simultaneously.

Permanganate (VII) ion is a strong oxidizing agent and gets easily reduced to manganese ion in presence of the hydrogen ion in an acidic solution.

The balanced half-reaction for reduction is shown as,

$\rm MnO_{4}^{-} \; (aq)+ 8H^{+} \; (aq)+ 5e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+} \; (aq)+ 4H_{2}O \; (l)$
