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%

6.75 L of carbon dioxide gas are stored at a pressure of 175 atm. If the temperature and number of gas particles do not change,
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

4.24 L

Explanation:

  • 6.75 L - 175 atm

x. - 110 atm

  • <u>175atm </u><u>x</u>=<u>742.5L /atm</u>

175atm 175atm

  • therefore x=4.24 L

Given following electron configurations, 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d9 and 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s14d10.
marusya05 [52]

Explanations:- Part 1: We could count the total number of electrons by looking at the electron configurations. Both of these electrons configurations have 47 electrons. If we look at the periodic table then 47 is the atomic number of silver. So, the name of the element is silver and its represented as Ag.

Part 2: As per the rule, Completely filled and half filled orbitals are more stable. First electron configuration has 9 electrons in 4d and we know that d is more stable if it has 5 electrons(half filled) or it has 10 electrons(full filled).

For stability reasons, one of the electron from 5s goes to 4d and for this reason the second electron configuration is found most often in nature for silver.

Few other examples are Cr and Cu.
