Chapter 11, Problem 42P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reagent has to be identified for the conversion of methyl propanoate to the following compounds.

Concept introduction:

A reagent is a substance used to convert one chemical compound into another.

Transesterification: Transesterification reaction is an esterification reaction of ester react with excess of alcohol in the presence of either acid or base catalyst to form a new ester. The formation of one type of ester can be transformed in to other form of esters is called esterification when reaction moves forward when we use excess of an alcohol.

compared t-critical with t-calculated and 95% confidence interval to answer this question
Comparing two means. Horvat and co-workers used atomic absorption spectroscopy to determine the concentration of Hg in coal fly ash. Of particular interest to the authors was developing an appropriate procedure for digesting samples and releasing the Hg for analysis. As part of their study they tested several reagents for digesting samples. Their results using HNO3 and using a 1+3 mixture of HNO3 and HCl are shown here. All concentrations are given as ppb Hg sample.   HNO3: 161, 165, 160, 167, 166 1+3 HNO3–HCl: 159, 145, 140, 147, 143, 156   Determine whether there is a significant difference between these methods at the 95% confidence interval.
Comparison of experimental data to “known” value. Monna and co-workers used radioactive isotopes to date sediments from lakes and estuaries.21 To verify this method they analyzed a 208Po standard known to have an activity of 77.5 decays/min, obtaining the following results.   77.09, 75.37, 72.42, 76.84, 77.84, 76.69, 78.03, 74.96, 77.54, 76.09, 81.12, 75.75   Do the results differ from the expected results at the 95% confidence interval?
