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.

A mineral consisted of 29.4% calcium, 23.5% sulfur and 47.1% oxygen. What is the empirical formula?
inessss [21]
Step  one  calculate  the  moles  of  each  element
that  is  moles= %  composition/molar  mass
molar  mass  of    Ca  =  40g/mol,     S=  32  g/mol ,   O=  16 g/mol

moles  of      Ca = 29.4 /40g/mol=0.735 moles,      S= 23.5/32  =0.734 moles,  O= 47.1/16= 2.94   moles

calculate  the mole  ratio  by  dividing   each  mole with  smallest  mole   that   is  0.734
Ca=  0.735/0.734= 1,      S=  0.734/0.734 =1,   O  = 2.94/  0.734= 4
therefore  the  emipical  formula  =  CaSO4

7. An element's most stable ion forms an ionic compound with chlorine having the formula XCl2. If the ion of element X has a mas
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,  

XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻

X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element

As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,  

No. of electrons = atomic number - charge

36 = atomic number - 2

Atomic number = 38

Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.  

Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,  

No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

= 89 - 38

= 51 neutrons.

Use Boyle's Law to explain what would happen to the volume of a helium- filled balloon if it was carried underwater by a diver t
oksano4ka [1.4K]

The deeper the diver takes the helium balloon, the more it reduces in size. This is due to the pressure of the water column above pressing on the balloon. According to Boyle’s law (P= k*1/V.), as the volume of the balloon decreases, the pressure of the helium inside increases.
