Among the choices given, the best answer is the third option. Melting ice shows an increase in entropy. Entropy is the degree of disorderliness in a
system. Among the phases, solid has the most ordered structure which means it has the least entropy. The ice melting shows a phase change from solid to liquid. Liquid molecules are more disorganized than the solid thus there is an increase in entropy.
Answer:
The hydrolysis in aqueous HCl of compound A can lead to the formation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
Explanation:
The picture shows the structures of compound A, benzoncaine and the possible products of the proposed reaction.
The acidic hydrolysis is the inverse of the esterification reaction. Therefore, the ester group of compund A will react to form the equivalent carboxylic acid and alcohol.
In order to form benzocaine, the hydrolysis happens in with the nitrile group.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The magnitude of electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond determines whether that bond will be polar or not.
If the electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond is about 1.7, the bond is ionic. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.7, the bond will have a polar covalent character. Lastly, if the electronegativity difference between the bond is less than or equal to 0.4, the covalent bond is non polar.
The electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is about 0.4 which corresponds to a nonpolar covalent bond hence the molecule is nonpolar.
The electronegativity difference between carbon and fluorine is about 1.5 indicating a highly polar bond. This gives CH3F an overall dipole moment thereby making the molecule polar.
Answer:
Explanation:
Percent yield is a ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield. It is found using this formula:
The actual yield is 12 liters, because that was actually produced in the lab.
The theoretical yield is 20 liters, because that was the expected yield.
For this reaction, the percent yield is 60%.
