In the Fischer esterification reaction, a carboxylic acid reacts with an excess of alcohol in acidic conditions to form an ester

. During the reaction the sp2sp2 hybridized carbonyl carbon of the acid forms an sp3sp3 hybridized intermediate before returning to sp2sp2 hybridization in the product. Draw the structure of the neutral sp3sp3 hybridized intermediate and the ester product in the reaction between pentanoic acid and n‑propanol.

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Esterification is a reaction of an alkanol and an alkanoic acid to yield an ester and water as products. It is analogous to inorganic neutralization reaction.

The process may be acid catalyzed. As mentioned in the question, the process of ester formation between pentanoic acid and n‑propanol first involves the carbonyl in going through an sp3 hybridized intermediate before returning to sp2 hybridized state in the product.

The image of the neutral form of this intermediate as well as the final structure of the ester are both shown in the image attached to this answer.

Based on Chromium's position on the periodic table, which statement describes the element
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium.

Explanation:

Hello.

Given the options:

A. chromium is a nonmetal and therefore a good conductor of heat and electricity .

B. chromium is a metal that is more reactive than potassium .

C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium .

D. chromium is a noble gas that is not reactive.

In this case, since chromium is in period 4 group VIB we infer it is a transition metal which slightly reacts with acids and poorly reacts with oxygen and other oxidizing substances. Thus, in comparison with both sodium and potassium which are highly reactive even with water as they get on fire, we can say that it is less reactive than both potassium and sodium, therefore, answer is: C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium.

Best regards.

When cooking frozen cheese ravioli, the directions say to put the 255 grams of filled pasta into 3 quarts of boiling water. why
kondaur [170]
<span>When cooking frozen cheese ravioli, you should use three quarts of water instead of one so that the raviolis have room to move around in the boiling water and so that while they are moving around, they will not stick to each other or the pan.</span>
