The percentage of elements in the compound is determined from the number of elements in the compound

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Proust states the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that compounds have a fixed composition of elements

\tt \%A~in~A_xB_y=\dfrac{x\times Ar~A}{MW~A_xB_y}\times 100\%

\tt \%B~in~A_xB_y=\dfrac{y\times Ar~B}{MW~A_xB_y}\times 100\%

Example

% Lithium (Li) in Li₂CO₃(lithium carbonate)

Ar of Li = 6.941 g/mol

MW of  Li₂CO₃  = 73.891 g/mol

\tt \%Li=\dfrac{2.Ar~Li}{MW~Li_2CO_3}\times 100\%\\\\\%Li=\dfrac{2\times 6.941}{73.891}\times 100\%=18.79\%

Write a mechanism for the esterification of propanoic acid with 18O-labeled ethanol. Show clearly the fate of the 18O label. (b)
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

See explanation and images attached

Explanation:

a) In the mechanism for the acid catalysed esterification of propanoic acid using ethanol, we can see that the first step is the protonation of the acid followed by nucleophillic attack of the alcohol. Loss of water and consequent deprotonation regenerates the acid catalyst. We can see the fate of the 18O labelled ethanol in the mechanism shown.

b)  In the second mechanism, an unnamed ester is hydrolysed using an acid catalyst. The attack of the acid and subsequent nucleophillic attack of water labelled with 18O leads to the incorporation of this 18O into the product acid as shown in the mechanism attached to this answer.
