Consider the Fischer ester synthesis of methyl benzoate from benzoic acid and methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid as a cat

alyst. A reaction was performed in which 3.8 g of benzoic acid was reacted with excess methanol to make 2.0 g of methyl benzoate. Calculate the theoretical yield and percent yield for this reaction.

Answer:

48.8%

Explanation:

The reaction has a 1:1 mole ratio so;

Number of moles of benzoic acid reacted = mass/molar mass = 3.8 g/122.12 g/mol = 0.03 moles

So;

0.03 moles of methyl benzoate is formed in the reaction

Mass of methyl benzoate formed = 0.03 moles * 136.15 g/mol = 4.1 g

percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100/1

percent yield = 2.0 g/4.1 g * 100 = 48.8%

babunello [35]

Answer;

d. the specific geometry and types of amino acids in the active site

Explanation;

-Enzymes are highly selective catalysts, meaning that each enzyme only speeds up a specific reaction. The molecules that an enzyme works with are called substrates. The substrates bind to a region on the enzyme called the active site.

-For a substrate to bind to the active site of an enzyme it must fit in the active site and be chemically attracted to it. The shape of an enzyme determines how it works. Enzymes have active sites that substrate molecules (the substances involved in the chemical reaction) fit into when a reaction happens.

Marizza181 [45]
A) Cu

Cu + 2HCl --> CuCl2 + H2(g)

Products predicted: Copper(II) choloride and hydrogen gas


B) Mg

Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2

Products predicted: magnesium chloride + hygrogen gas

C) Fe

Fe +2 HCl -> FeCl2 + H2, or
2Fe +6 HCl -> 2FeCl3 + 3H2

Products predicted: Iron(II) chloride, iron (III) chloride and hydrogen gas.

QUESTION 7
Lera25 [3.4K]
Answer:
it’s quite simple.
The newton force in a aerodynamic space which could lead to a catastrophic entanglement will be added to the physical quantum molecular structure then subtracted by its opposite, inter dimensional indispensable aerobic activity, then finally multiplied by the sum which was subtracted by the addition to then divide the sum of it all with the solution of the multiplication which would equal to the answer.
