Chapter 1, Problem 1.12E

Succinic acid, a white solid that melts at 182°C , is heated gently, and a gas is given off. After the gas evolution stops, a white solid remains that melts at a temperature different from 182°C .

a. Have the succinic acid molecules been changed by the process? Explain your answer.

b. Is the white solid that remains after heating still succinic acid? Explain you answer.

c. In terms of the number of atoms contained, how do you think the size of succinic acid compares with the size of the molecules of the white solid produced by this process? Explain your answer.

d. Classify molecules of succinic acid by using the term homoatomic or heteroatomic. Explain your reasoning.

A buffer is prepared by adding 0.50 mol of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) and 0.75 mol of sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2) to enough water to form 2.00L solution. (pKa for acetic acid is 4.74) Calculate the pH of the buffer.
Modify the given carbon skeleton to draw the major product of the following reaction. If a racemic mixture of enantiomers is expected, draw both enantiomers. Note: you can select a structure and use Copy and Paste to save drawing time. HBr کی CH3 کی Edit Drawing
Sort the following into the classification for a reaction that is NOT at equilibrium versus a reaction system that has reached equilibrium. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. View Available Hint(s) The forward and reverse reactions proceed at the same rate. Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic state. The ratio of products to reactants is not stable. Reset Help The state of chemical equilibrium will remain the same unless reactants or products escape or are introduced into the system. This will disturb the equilibrium. The concentration of products is increasing, and the concentration of reactants is decreasing. The ratio of products to reactants does not change. The rate at which products form from reactants is equal to the rate at which reactants form from products. The concentrations of reactants and products are stable and cease to change. The reaction has reached equilibrium. The rate of the forward reaction is greater than the rate of the reverse reaction. The…
