(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To propose a mechanism for the reaction of acetic anhydride with water.

Concept introduction:

The reaction of acetic anhydride with water is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The nucleophile from the reagent attacks the carbonyl carbon in acetic anhydride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. The carboxylate ion leaves the intermediate leading to form the corresponding product.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference in the mechanism for the reaction of acetic anhydride with water and acetic anhydride with alcohol has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The reaction of acetic anhydride with water is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The nucleophile from the reagent attacks the carbonyl carbon in acetic anhydride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. The carboxylate ion leaves the intermediate leading to form the corresponding product.

Carbohydrates- Draw out the Hawthorne structure for a sugar from the list given in class. Make sure to write out all atoms except for carbons within the ring. Make sure that groups off the carbons in the ring are in the correct orientation above or below the plane. Make sure that bonds are in the correct orientation. Include the full name of the sugar. You can draw out your curve within the text box or upload a drawing below.
How many milliliters of 97.5(±0.5) wt% H2SO4 with a density of 1.84(±0.01) g/mL will you need to prepare 2.000 L of 0.110 M H2SO4? If the uncertainty in delivering H2SO4 is ±0.01 mL, calculate the absolute uncertainty in the molarity (0.110 M). Assume there is negligible uncertainty in the formula mass of H2SO4 and in the final volume (2.000 L) and assume random error.
