(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To determine the number of deuterium atoms that are incorporated in palmitic acid if CD3COSR and nondeuterated malonyl thioester are used as starting materials.

Concept introduction:

For the synthesis of arachidic acid, in first step acetyl thioester and malonyl thioester undergoes Claisen condensation. The product of Claisen condensation undergoes reduction, dehydration and a second reduction to form a four-carbon thioester.

The four carbon thioester combines with another molecule of malonyl thioester and undergoes Claisen condensation, reduction, dehydration and a second reduction to form a six carbon thioester. The reaction can proceed to form a fatty acid of an even number of carbon atoms and repetition of sequence adds two carbon.

Imagine separating this process into the four stages sketched below. (These sketches show only a portion of the substances, so you can see the density and distribution of atoms and molecules in them.) CH,CN H₂O B 88 C Use these sketches to answer the questions in the table below. The enthalpy of solution AH is negative soln when CH3CN dissolves in water. Use this information to list the stages in order of increasing enthalpy. Would heat be absorbed or released if the system moved from Stage C to D? What force would oppose or favor the system moving from Stage C to D? Check all that apply. 1 absorbed O released neither absorbed nor released. none O ionic bonding force covalent bonding force…
In a system with an anodic overpotential, the variation of ŋ as a function of the current density: 1. at low fields is linear 2. at higher fields, it follows Tafel's law Find the range of current densities for which the overpotential has the same value as when calculated for cases 1 and 2 (maximum relative difference of 5% with respect to the behavior for higher fields). To which overpotential range does this correspond? Data: 10 = 1.5 mA cm², T = 300°C, ẞ = 0.64, R = 8.314 J K 1 mol‍¹ and F = 96485 C mol-1.
