Answer to Problem 16E
Explanation of Solution
The structural formula belongs to carboxylic acid family as it has
The structural formula of the compound has three carbon atoms longest chain which also includes
Conclusion:
Therefore, structurla formula belongs to carboxylic acid family. The structural formula of the compound is,
(b)

Answer to Problem 16E
Explanation of Solution
Esters are the organic compounds which are formed by the reaction of alcohols and carboxylic acid reaction, this reaction is also known as esterification reaction. When an alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid the nucleophilic substitution takes place. The reaction can be written as,
The general molecular formula to identify an ester is
The structural formula of the compound is,
Conclusion:
Therefore structurla formula belongs to an ester family. The structural formula of the compound is,
(c)

Answer to Problem 16E

(f)

Answer to Problem 16E
The structural formula of the compound is
c
Explanation of Solution
Amides: These organic compounds are synthesized by the condensation reaction of carboxylic acids and amines. The functional group
A tertiary amine does not react with carboxylic acids; hence, no amide formation takes place. However, primary and secondary amines react with carboxylic acid and gives
The given structural formula belongs to the class of amides, which is formed by the reaction of acetic acid with methyl amine. The structural formula of the compound is,
Conclusion:
Therefore, structurla formula belongs to an amide family of organic compounds. The structural formula of the compound is

Please walk me through what youre doing to get to the answer and what that could bearrow_forwardQuestion 6: Chlorine is widely used to purify municipal water supplies and to treat swimming pool waters. Suppose that the volume of a particular sample of Cl₂ gas is 8.70 L at 895 torr and 24°C. (a) How many grams of Cl₂ are in the sample? ⚫ Atomic mass of CI = 35.453 g/mol • Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2 x 35.453 = 70.906 g/mol Solution: Use the Ideal Gas Law: Step 1: Convert Given Values • Pressure: P = 895 torr → atm PV= = nRT 1 P = 895 × = 1.1789 atm 760 • Temperature: Convert to Kelvin: T24273.15 = 297.15 K • Gas constant: R = 0.0821 L atm/mol. K Volume: V = 8.70 L Step 2: Solve for n . PV n = RT n = (1.1789)(8.70) (0.0821)(297.15) 10.25 n = = 0.420 mol 24.405 Step 3: Calculate Mass of Cl₂ Final Answer: 29.78 g of Cl₂. mass nx M mass= (0.420)(70.906) mass= 29.78 garrow_forwardE1 R₁ w 0.50 20 Ω 12 R₁₂ ww ΒΩ R₂ 60 E3 C RA w 15 Ω E2 0.25 E4 0.75 Ω 0.5 Ωarrow_forward
