Answer:
1.40 atm is the pressure for the gas
Explanation:
An easy problem to solve with the Ideal Gases Law:
P . V = n . R .T
T° = 370K
V = 17.3L
n = 0.8 mol
Let's replace data → P . 17.3L = 0.8mol . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 370K
P = (0.8mol . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 370K) / 17.3L = 1.40 atm
The question is partially incorrect, because nitration of <span> methyl benzoate results in generation of methyl 3-nitrobenzoate, and not methyl 2-benzoate.
This a because of the present of ester group, which deactivated benzene ring at ortho and para position. Due to this, the electrophile (NO2+) attackes on meta position.
The detailed mechanism is attached below.</span>
