The flavor and odor of fruits comes primarily from the esters they contain. For example, a major component in the flavor of oran

ges is octyl acetate. Draw the organic products formed when octyl acetate reacts with aqueous sodium hydroxide.

Answer:

Explanation:

Concepts and reason

This problem is based on the concept of hydrolysis of esters.

An ester is hydrolyzed to a carboxylic acid and an alcohol when treated with aqueous acid or aqueous base. Under alkaline conditions, the carboxylic acid is obtained in the form as its salt.

Fundamentals

Alkaline hydrolysis of ester is done with strong base {\\rm{NaOH}}NaOHand {\\rm{O}}{{\\rm{H}}^ - }OH\u2212acts as nucleophilic reagent. This reaction is reversible, since carboxylate anion has tendency to react with an alcohol and gives back ester.

Step-by-step

Step 1 of 2

Attack of [{ m{O}}{{ m{H}}^ - }]on carbonyl take place as follows resulting formation of tetrahedral intermediate:

\u043e\u043d\u043e\u043d

Explanation | Hint for next step

The {\\rm{O}}{{\\rm{H}}^ - }OH\u2212nucleophile attacks on the electrophilic carbon of an ester {\\rm{C}} = {\\rm{O}}C=O and forms tetrahedral intermediate after breaking the \\pi\u03c0-bond.

Step 2 of 2

Hydrolysis of product formed from step 1 followed by reaction with {\\rm{NaOH}}NaOHis as follows:

The products of the reaction are:

Explanation | Common mistakes

On the reaction of octyl acetate with aqueous sodium hydroxide, the products octyl alcohol and acetate ion are formed after omitting the {\\rm{N}}{{\\rm{a}}^ + }Na+ions.

What is the ph of a solution which is 0. 023 m in weak base and 0. 037 m in the conjugate weak acid ( a = 7. 1 × 10^−6)?
Rzqust [24]

The pH of a solution which is 0.023 m in weak base and 0 037 m in the conjugate weak acid whose Ka= 7.1 × 10⁻⁶ is 4.93.

pH determines the amount of hydrogen and hydroxide ions in a solution. It is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

Given,

Ka= 7.1 × 10⁻⁶

Weak base = 0.023M

Acid = 0.037M

Using base dissociation constant, Ka we can calculate pKa by:

pKa = -log [Ka]

pKa = -log [7.1 × 10⁻⁶]

pKa = 5.15

A weak base and its conjugate acid are present in equal proportions in buffer solution. Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, we can find out the pH of a buffer solution that constitutes a weak base and its conjugate acid.

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + log [Weak base / acid]

pH = 5.15 + log [0.023 / 0.037]

pH = 5.15 + log[0.6]

pH = 5.15 - 0.22

pH = 4.93

Therefore, the pH of the solution is 4.93.

What takes pictures of clouds and storm systems from the exosphere
tamaranim1 [39]

The answer should be "Satellite." The satellite is placed in the exosphere which allows it to take pictures of the clouds from above, which is also how NASA gets most of it's pictures of the planet.

Hope this helps!

How many moles in 500l of ar gas?
Alex
Assuming conditions are at 25c and 1 bar 101.25 Kpa 1 mole of gas is equal to 22.4 L

So if you have 500L of ar gas the you have : 500L / 22.4 × 1 Mole = 22.3 moles of ar after accounting for sig figs..Hope that helps

What is the mass of arsenic that is contained in a 50.0 g sample if the concentration is 5 ppm?
faltersainse [42]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of arsenic found in the sample is 0.25 mg

<u>Explanation:</u>

ppm is the amount of solute (in milligrams) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of oxygen in sea water, we use the equation:

\text{ppm}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^6

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Concentration of arsenic = 5 ppm

Mass of sample = 50 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5=\frac{\text{Mass of arsenic}}{50g}\times 10^6\\\\\text{Mass of arsenic}=\frac{5\times 50}{10^6}=0.00025g=0.25mg

<u>Conversion factor used:</u>  1 g = 1000 mg

Hence, the mass of arsenic found in the sample is 0.25 mg

On many common appliances, there is an “O” or “I” on the power switch. What does each symbol mean?
Art [367]

"I" symbol means the current goes through the system (imagine the 'I' being a line, like a circuit connecting [power to the device]) "O" symbol means the current does not go through the system. ( the circle is an open circuit, having no power flowing through it
