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.

Which of the following expressions is the correct equilibrium-constant expression for the equilibrium between dinitrogen tetroxi
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

D. [NO₂]²/[N₂O₄]

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant expression for a reaction is products over reactants. Since NO₂ has a coefficient of 2, it will become an exponent.

So, it would be:

[NO₂]²/[N₂O₄]

Hope that helps.

Name the covalent compound:<br><br> I8P
SOVA2 [1]

There are certain rules to follow when naming covalent compounds. But first, let us look at the definition of Covalent Compounds.

<h3>What are Covalent Compounds?</h3>

When covalent bonds aid the creation of a molecule, in which the atoms have at least one similar pair of valence electrons, a covalent compound is said to have been formed.

A very common example is water (H₂O)

<h3>How are Covalent Compounds named?</h3>

To name a covalent compound, simply list the first element in the formula using the name of the element, then name the second element by adding the suffix "ide" to the stem of the second element's name.

If there is only one atom in the molecule of the first element, then no prefix should be added.

It is to be noted that if the second element in the compound is oxygen, then we should say:

  • monox<em>ide</em> instead of monoox<em>ide</em> and
  • triox<em>ide</em> instead of trox<em>ide</em>, all depending on how many atoms that are involved.

See the attached for the prefixes related to the various number of atoms in the compounds.

It is to be noted that the covalent compound to be named here is not stated hence the general answer.

What happened to the concentration of the product of H2O when the reaction shifts to the left
lilavasa [31]

I might need a diagram for this, but I have a vague idea of what you are talking about.

If H20 is going left it means the temperature is going lower.

The molecules will condense to slowly become ice
