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>

Explain where the weight of an atom is found what is responsible for that weight and why
padilas [110]

Answer:

The majority of the weight in an atom is found in the nucleus.

Explanation:

The protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of the atom may take up a tiny amount of space in comparison to the rest of the atom, but they are far more dense than the electrons that orbit the nucleus.
