Draw a mechanism for this reaction. 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms 2-oxanone in the presence of acid. draw all missing reactants

and/or products in the appropriate boxes by placing atoms on the canvas and connecting them with bonds. add charges where needed. electron flow arrows should start on an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or location where a new bond should be created.

Answer: -

The first step involves protonation of the carbonyl oxygen.

After protonation, the Alcohol oxygen now attacks the carbon of the carbonyl.

Thus a six membered ring is formed with 5 carbon atoms and 1 oxygen atom. The 1st position carbon atom has 2 OH groups.

One of these gets again protonated.

This leaves as water. With the loss of the H+, there results a carbonyl at 1 position.

Thus 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms a lactone or 2-oxanone in presence of acid.

The chemical reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule, and water is released is called
Semmy [17]

Answer: condenstation.


Justification:


The polymerization by condensation is a well know chemical reaction in which two monomers ("small" molecules), each with (at least) two functional groups, combine and relase water as by-product. Actually, even if the by-product released is not water, yet the reaction is called condenstation, since the mechanism is basically the same.


An example of such reaction is the manufacturing of nylon 6,6, which is produced from adipic acid and 1,6-diamine hexane:


HOOC - [CH₂]₄ - COOH + nH₂N - [CH₂]₆ - NH₂ → - nylon - + nH₂O


I omitted the formula of nylon because it is large, and that is not the core of the question but the fact the kind of reaction: two molecules combine to form is a larger molecule, and water is released

A particular voltaic cell operates with the reaction: Zn(s)+Cl2(g)--->Zn^2+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq) giving a cell potential of .853 V.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The amount of energy liberated will be 49.38 J.

Explanation:

The amount of energy liberated (gibbs free energy) can be calculated using the following equation:

ΔG° = -nFε

n: amount of moles of electrons transfered

F: Faraday's constant

ε: cell potential

20.0 g of Zn is equal to 0.30 mol.

Two electrons are transfered during the reaction.

Therefore, n = 2x0.30 ∴ n = 0.60

ΔG° = - 0.60 x 96.485 x 0.853

ΔG° = 49.38 J

What part of the sun do we see from earth?
NISA [10]

Answer:

photosphere

Explanation:

photosphere

There are 3 main layers of the Sun that we can see. They are the photosphere, the chromosphere and the corona. Together they make up the "atmosphere" of the Sun. The part of the Sun that glows (and that we see with the naked eye) is called the photosphere
