(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To write the mechanism for an uncatalyzed hydrolysis of methyl propionate.

Concept Introduction:

The hydrolysis reaction of ester is the reaction in which the breaking of ester bond is done by using water molecule in presence of acid or base as catalyst.  The product obtained after the ester hydrolysis is the corresponding carboxylic acid and an alcohol.  The hydrolysis reaction can be done in the presence of an acid or base to increase the rate of reaction.  When this process occurs in presence of acid it is known as acid hydrolysis of ester and if it is done in presence of base it is known as base hydrolysis of ester.

The general reaction of an ester to produce in presence of only water is written as,

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To write the mechanism for aminolysis of phenyl formate using methyl amine.

Concept Introduction:

The reaction of a carboxylic acid derivative with ammonia, primary and secondary amines gives an amide this reaction is known as aminolysis reaction.  This reaction involves two equivalent of ammonia or amine molecule.

6. The equilibrium constant for the reaction 2 HBr (g) → H2(g) + Br2(g) Can be expressed by the empirical formula 11790 K In K-6.375 + 0.6415 In(T K-¹) - T Use this formula to determine A,H as a function of temperature. Calculate A,-H at 25 °C and at 100 °C.
3. Nitrosyl chloride, NOCI, decomposes according to 2 NOCI (g) → 2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) Assuming that we start with no moles of NOCl (g) and no NO(g) or Cl2(g), derive an expression for Kp in terms of the equilibrium value of the extent of reaction, Seq, and the pressure, P. Given that K₂ = 2.00 × 10-4, calculate Seq/ of 29/no when P = 0.080 bar. What is the new value по ƒª/ at equilibrium when P = 0.160 bar? Is this result in accord with Le Châtelier's Principle?
Consider the following chemical equilibrium: 2SO2(g) + O2(g) = 2SO3(g) • Write the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction. Now compare it to the equilibrium constant expression for the related reaction: • . 1 SO2(g) + O2(g) = SO3(g) 2 How do these two equilibrium expressions differ? What important principle about the dependence of equilibrium constants on the stoichiometry of a reaction can you learn from this comparison?
