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.

A gas occupies a volume at 34.2 mL at a temperature of 15.0 C and a pressure of 800.0 torr. What will be the volume of this gas
Grace [21]
The answer is 34.1 mL.
Solution:
Assuming ideal behavior of gases, we can use the universal gas law equation
     P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
The terms with subscripts of one represent the given initial values while for terms with subscripts of two represent the standard states which is the final condition.
At STP, P2 is 760.0torr and T2 is 0°C or 273.15K. Substituting the values to the ideal gas expression, we can now calculate for the volume V2 of the gas at STP:
     (800.0torr * 34.2mL) / 288.15K = (760.0torr * V2) / 273.15K
     V2 = (800.0torr * 34.2mL * 273.15K) / (288.15K * 760.0torr)
     V2 = 34.1 mL

When the temperature of the gas changes from cold to hot, the amount of pressure is ___________.
Klio2033 [76]
The pressure would increase. When the temperature change form cold to hot, the gas will find ways to escape from containment. Thus, if it cannot escape that pressure will keep on increasing as the temperature rises.

5. An element whose highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel <br> contain electrons
Mumz [18]

Answer:

                    Transition Element

Explanation:

                     Transition elements are defined as those elements which can form at least one stable ion and has partially filled d-orbitals. They are also characterized by forming complex compounds and having different oxidation states for a single metal element.

                      Transition metals are present between the metals and the non metals in the periodic table occupying groups from 3 to 12. There general electronic configuration is as follow,

                                                   (n-1)d ¹⁻¹⁰ns ¹⁻²

The general configuration shows that for a given metal, the d sublevel will be in lower energy level as compared to corresponding s sublevel. For example,

Scandium is present in fourth period hence, its s sublevel is present in 4rth energy level so its d sublevel will be present in 3rd energy level respectively.

Hence, we can conclude that for transition metals the electron are present in highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel .
