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.

How to find hydrogen ion concentration from molarity of solution
vekshin1

The concentration of the hydrogen ions from molarity can be given with the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecular formula.

<h3>What is molarity?</h3>

Molarity is given as the moles of the solute present in a liters of solution. The compound with the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecular formula with degradation possesses the equivalent concentration of the hydrogen ions.

The compound with molecular formula AH having molarity 2, will produce 2M of hydrogen ions.

How can scientists determine what kind of atoms are in stars and nebulas?
statuscvo [17]
Each element absorbs light at specific wavelengths unique to that atom. When astronomers look at an object's spectrum, they can determine its composition based on these wavelengths.
Not sure if this is 100% but I hope it helps.
