A large volume of material will have a small amount of mass when the
material in question is gaseous or porous, and therefore has a lot of
space within it despite taking up a large amount of space overall.
Okay so because of the difference in density a simple method for telling the difference between the two is to put a sample in a container with oil, because water has a higher density than the oil it would sink to the bottom but alcohol on the other hand is lighter than oil and would float on top of the oil.
However with this question I think that what you would do is use the ice to find out what the substance is, it would float on top of the liquid if it were water because the water is denser than ice but the ice would sink if it was alcohol because the alcohol is less dense than ice.
I hope this helps you, good luck : )
Answer:
that results in an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
Explanation:
Saponification is a chemical reaction process of alkaline hydrolysis of esters(R'COOR group) by which soap is obtained.
For Example, when a base such as sodium hydroxide [NaOH] is used to hydrolyze an ester, the products are a carboxylate salt and an alcohol. Because soaps are prepared by the alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils.
In a saponification reaction, alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils with sodium hydroxide yields propane-1,2,3-triol and the corresponding sodium salts of the component fatty acids.
i.e Fat or oil + caustic alkali ⇒ Soap + propane-1,2,3-triol
As a specific example, ethyl acetate and NaOH react to form sodium acetate and ethanol:
The reaction goes to completion in the image below:
If the ion is negatively charged, anion, it means that it gains two
electrons from its surroundings. The number of electrons of an argon (neutral
atom) is 18. Two of the electrons in our anion is from the surrounding, so
originally it only has 16 electrons.
In the periodic table, the 16th element is sulphur. The
chemical symbol of sulphur is S. Thus, the anion is the negatively charged
sulphur with chemical symbol of S2-.
Me neither tbh Goodluck with that tho
