If molecules are in a closed container then we expect the pressure to increase as the kinetic energy increases. This is because the atoms of an element collide with the walls of the container and increase the pressure.
If we use the formula
, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R the ideal gas constant and T is the temperature. According to the formula, P is directly proportional to temperature. An increase in temperature leads to an increase in pressure.
Since we know that temperature is the average kinetic energy of molecules present. It means as we increase the temperature we increase the kinetic energy of the molecules which in turn leads to an increase in the pressure.
Well if the change is reversible then it is a physical change, but if not then it is a chemical change.
Explanation:
-Filter help — delete some big unreacted, undesirable species (norit is probably from what you are sorting through, its only carbon which cleans up things)
— extract with DCM because you are probably in an aqueous phase, and some butanoate is in it
- Anhydrous sodium absorbs excess of water (dries the material)
-evaporation in the hood to clear the DCM and crystallize the product.
