Write a mechanism for the esterification of propanoic acid with 18O-labeled ethanol. Show clearly the fate of the 18O label. (b)

Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an unlabeled ester with 18O-labeled water (H218O) leads to incorporation of some 18O into both oxygens of the carboxylic acid product. Explain by a mechanism. (Hint: You must use the fact that all steps in the mechanism are reversible.)

Answer:

See explanation and images attached

Explanation:

a) In the mechanism for the acid catalysed esterification of propanoic acid using ethanol, we can see that the first step is the protonation of the acid followed by nucleophillic attack of the alcohol. Loss of water and consequent deprotonation regenerates the acid catalyst. We can see the fate of the 18O labelled ethanol in the mechanism shown.

b)  In the second mechanism, an unnamed ester is hydrolysed using an acid catalyst. The attack of the acid and subsequent nucleophillic attack of water labelled with 18O leads to the incorporation of this 18O into the product acid as shown in the mechanism attached to this answer.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

El volumen del cuerpo es el mismo al comienzo de la experiencia.

Explicación:

El volumen del cuerpo es el mismo al principio porque el volumen no cambia si la temperatura permanece igual. Si cambiamos la temperatura i. mi. Al aumentar la temperatura, las moléculas comienzan a expandirse y se produce un aumento de volumen mientras que cuando disminuimos la temperatura, las moléculas de esa sustancia comienzan a contraerse y el volumen de esa sustancia disminuye. Entonces concluimos que el volumen depende de la temperatura.

PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) ⇋ PCl5(g) Kc = 91.0 at 400 K. What is the [Cl2] at equilibrium if the initial concentrations were 0.24 M for PC
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

[Cl₂] in equilibrium is 1.26 M

Explanation:

This is the equilibrium:

PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) ⇋ PCl₅(g)

Kc = 91

So let's analyse, all the process:

                PCl₃(g)        +        Cl₂(g)     ⇋        PCl₅(g)

Initially     0.24 M                 1.50M                 0.12 M

React           x                           x                         x

Some amount of compound has reacted during the process.

In equilibrium we have

              0.24 - x                  1.50 - x                  0.12 + x

As initially we have moles of product, in equilibrium we have to sum them.

Let's make the expression for Kc

Kc = [PCl₅] / [Cl₂] . [PCl₃]

91 = (0.12 + x) / (0.24 - x) ( 1.50 - x)

91 = (0.12 + x) / (0.36 - 0.24x - 1.5x + x²)          

91 (0.36 - 0.24x - 1.5x + x²) = (0.12 + x)

32.76 - 158.34x + 91x² = 0.12 +x

32.64 - 159.34x + 91x² = 0

This a quadratic function:

a = 91; b= -159.34; c = 32.64

(-b +- √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a

Solution 1 = 1.5

Solution 2 = 0.23 (This is our value)

So [Cl₂] in equilibrium is 1.50 - 0.23 = 1.26 M
