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.
Answer:
Field experiments can often have the potential to give scientists opportunities that are not possible in a lab setting.
Explanation:
Having people "act natural" in a lab setting is impossible to truly achieve, as we all know what happens to our mental state and behavior when we are being actively observed. This is also especially helpful when conducting wildlife research, as there are a myriad of different things influencing animal and plant behavior that would be nigh impossible to recreate perfectly in a controlled lab setting.
Field research can have its disadvantages as well, as it is very hard to only have one thing change (make an independent variable) in a wild environment with ever-changing weather, social effects, etc. Also, you, as the researcher, as causing an impact on the very location that you are observing, which can alter your results in unpredictable ways.
The thing to remember is that each type of study has its advantages and disadvantages; if they didn't, then we'd all do the same type of research! You have to weigh your research options and figure out which one works best for your situation :)
Answer:
= 55.7g
Explanation:
12g of carbon burnt to produce 5x10^2KJ
So, 5x10^2KJ(12g/393.5KJ)=15.2g
Then mas of CO2 is 44g
So, 15.2g(12g/44g)=57.7g
Answer:
0.026%
Explanation:
The Helium-4 is the isotope of the helium that has a mass equal to 4. The element has 2 electrons, so, the total radius of the electrons is 2*2.8 = 5.6 fm = 0.0056 pm.
So, the total radius of the particles is 0.0056 + 0.0026 = 0.0082 pm.
The percentage of the space that the particles occupy is the radius of them divided by the radius of the atom:
% = 0.0082/31 *100%
% = 0.026%
* 1 fentometer (fm) = 0.001 picometer (pm)

When water melts from ice to liquid, or boils and becomes a gas, it is still water.
