Answer:
Explanation:
The equation is given as:
CH3CHOHC2H4CHO + CH3OH --> CYCLIC ACETAL + H2O
This above equation is carried out in the presence of a strong acid. There are five mechanisms employed and they are:
Step 1:
Initial formation of the hemiacetal which takes several steps
Step 2:
Addition of a proton. The hemicetal is protonated on the hydroxyl group (-OH group)
Step 3:
As seen a bond is broken to give the H2O molecule and a resonance stabilized cation.
The carbonyl group on the cation is enriched with the oxygen-18 got from the H2O molecule as seen in the mechanism.
Step 4:
An attraction occurs between electrophile and nucleophile i.e the stabilised cation and the lone paids of the methanol.
Step 5:
Finally, a proton (+) is removed from the molecule by a lone pair of electron on the methanol.
Attached are the Steps 1 - 5 mechanism below
The equilibrium expression shows the ratio between
products and reactants. This expression is equal to the concentration of the
products raised to its coefficient divided by the concentration of the
reactants raised to its coefficient. The correct equilibrium expression for the
given reaction is:<span>
<span>H2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) = H3O+(aq) + HCO3-1(aq)
Kc = [HCO3-1] [H3O+] / [H2O] [H2CO3]</span></span>
Answer:
a. Phosphoric Acid
b. Acetic Acid
c. Hypochlorous Acid
Explanation:
A buffer works when the pH of this one is in pKa ± 1. That means, to find which buffer system works in some pH you need to find pKa:
pKa = -log Ka
<em>pKa Acetic acid:</em>
-log1.8x10⁻⁵ = 4.74
<em>pKa phosphoric acid:</em>
-log7.5x10⁻³ = 2.12
<em>pKa hypochlorous acid:</em>
-log3.5x10⁻⁸ = 7.46
a. For a pH of 2.8 the best choice is phophoric acid because its effective range is: 1.12 - 3.12 and 2.8 is between these values.
b. pH 4.5. Acetic acid. effective between pH's 3.74 - 5.74
c. pH 7.5. Hypochlorous acid that works between 6.46 and 8.46
