Which property of sulphuric acid makes it suitable to use as a catalyst for the preparation of esters?​

Answers

Answer 1
In Fisher esterification, sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst and its function is to convert the carboxylic compound in its conjugate acid. This favours the nucleophilic attack of the alcohol. To act as a catalyst you need a strong acid, therefore sulphuric acid is suitable for this kind of reaction.

explain this phenomenon? *

Sound waves travel faster in a gas than they do in a liquid, which is why you cannot

understand the words,

Sound waves travel faster in a liquid than a gas, our ears are just not designed to

translate the faster moving waves,

Sound waves cannot travel at all in a liquid, which is why you cannot understand the

words and it's a miracle you can even hear the music at all,

Sound waves travel at the same speed regardless of the medium; your grandfather is

turning the music on and off when you go underwater and the noise you hear is the

song stuck in your head,

Answers

Answer:

Sound waves travel faster in a liquid than a gas, our ears are just not designed to  translate the faster moving waves.

Explanation:

Sound waves are mechanical waves which travel through vibrating the medium (the "stuff") they're traveling through. This means they actually move faster through materials that are more dense, and will move more quickly through liquid than gas, and a solid than a liquid. However, our ears are adapted to "translating" sound waves in air rather than water, so we don't understand the music well when the waves move through the water.

A similar idea explains why our vision is blurry underwater; light waves travel at a different speed (slower, not faster!) in water and our eyes perceive this change in speed as blurriness.

You add 28 grams of carbon. You find the actual yield to be 181.2 grams of CO2. What is the percent yield of CO2?

Answers

Answer:

79.14%

Explanation:

Given the equation : 2Fe2O3 + 3C 4Fe + 3C02

The theoretical yield of CO2 ; is 102.6g

Actual yield = 81.2 gram

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100%

Percentage yield = (81.2 / 102.6) * 100%

Percentage yield = 0.7914230 * 100%

Percentage yield = 79.14%

Hence, tbe percentage yield of CO2 is 79.14%

If you have 730 moles of a gas at 304 Kelvin in a 4.50 Liter container what
is the pressure of that eas in atmospheres?

Answers

Answer:

4046atm

Explanation:

For this question you can use the ideal gas law,

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

Where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles of substance, R is the constant, and T is the temperature.

Because of the units given, R will equal .08026[tex]P=4046 atm[/tex]

Rearrange the equation to solve for pressure:

[tex]P=\frac{nRT}{V}[/tex]

Then, plug in the values (I'll be excluding units for simplicity, but they all cancel out for pressure in atm):

[tex]P=\frac{(730)(.08206)(304)}{4.5}[/tex]

This will give you:

[tex]P=4046atm[/tex]

–1065.25 KJ of energy.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

4FeO + O₂ —> 2Fe₂O₃  ΔH = –560.66 kJ

From the balanced equation above,

The formation of 2 moles of Fe₂O₃ released –560.66 kJ of energy.

Finally, we shall determine the amount of heat energy released when 3.8 moles of Fe₂O₃ are produced. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

The formation of 2 moles of Fe₂O₃ released –560.66 kJ of energy.

Therefore, the formation of 3.8 moles of Fe₂O₃ will release

= (3.8 × –560.66)/2 = –1065.25 KJ of energy.

Thus, –1065.25 KJ of energy is released from the reaction.

What is the percent composition (by mass) of MgBr2?

Answers

Answer:

13.2% Mg, 86.8% Br

Explanation:

Mg has a molar mass of 24.31g/mol.

Bromine has a molar mass of 79.90 g/mol.

There is one mole of Mg and two moles of Br in the compound:

79.90x2 + 24.31 = 184.11

So the total molar mass of MgBr2 is 184.11.

A percent tells us a part of a whole, so we will divide each part of the mass into the whole mass.

24.31g Mg / 184.11g MgBr2 = .132

159.8g Br / 184.11g MgBr2 = .868

Multiply these decimals by 100 to make them into a percent.

.132 x 100 = 13.2% Mg

.868 x 100 = 86.8% Br

2.00g of Copper wire was added to 50.0 mL of a 0.050M solution of Silver Nitrate. The reaction
produced solid silver and aqueous copper II Nitrate. The silver precipitate was collected and
dried. It was determined that the mass of the silver precipitate was 0.24 g. Use this information
to determine the theoretical yield, limiting reactant, and percent yield.

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Now, the equation of the reaction is;

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) --------> Cu(NO3)3 (aq) + 2Ag(s)

Number of moles of silver precipitate = 0.24/108 g/mol= 0.0022 moles

Number of moles of AgNO3 = 50/1000 * 0.050 = 0.0025 Moles

If 2 moles of AgNO3 yields 2 moles of Ag

Then  0.0025 moles of AgNO3 yields  0.0025 * 2/2 = 0.0025 moles of Ag

Number of moles of Cu = 2.00g/63.5 g/mol = 0.03 moles

If 1 mole of Cu yields 2 moles of Ag

0.03 moles of Cu yields  0.03 moles * 2/1 = 0.06 moles of Ag

Hence AgNO3 is the limiting reactant

Theoretical yield of Ag = 0.0025 moles of Ag * 108 = 0.27 g

Actual yield of Ag = 0.24 g

Percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100

Percent yield = 0.24/0.27 * 100

Percent yield = 88.8%
