The ester below can be separated into phenol and an acetate salt, via saponification: heating the ester with a strong base, such

as sodium hydroxide, will produce phenol and sodium acetate. the two chemicals can then be separated by heat and filtration.

I found a similar question online which will help me answer your incomplete question. To make it easier, show all the elements of the compound given. It is shown in the second picture attached.

a.) The formula for unsaturation number is shown in the 3rd picture attached. Following this, 
n = 8
m = 2(8) + 2 + 0 + 0 - 0 = 18
Thus,
x = Unsaturation number = (18 - 8)/2 = 5
<em>The unsaturation number is 5.</em>

b.) The molar mass of C is 12.01 g/mol; H is 1 g/mol; O is 16 g/mol. So, the molecular weight is:
Molecular weight = 12.01(8) + 8(1) + 2(16) = 136.08 g/mol
<em>The molecular weight of the ester is 136.08 g/mol.</em>

If an element has an atomic number of 8 and an atomic mass number of 18, would it be an isotope? Why or why not?
hoa [83]

Answer:

It would be an isotope.

Background Information:

Isotopes are typically elements that have a different number of protons than neutrons. The atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons.

Explanation:

If the atomic number is the number of protons that means that this particular element has 8 protons. If the atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons then we can simply take away the amount of protons from that number, 18 - 8 = 10. If we take protons away from the number of protons and neutrons we are left with the number of neutrons. So there are 10 neutrons. Because there are 8 protons and 10 neutrons, or a different amount of neutrons and protons we know that this particular atom is an isotope.
