Chapter 15, Problem 89AP

What would be the reagents and conditions above and below the arrow that will complete the proposed acetoacetic ester synthesis? If it cannot be done efficiently, then I will choose that answer. There could be 2 or 4 reagents involved. Please provide a detailed explanation and drawings showing how it would proceed with the correct reagents.

For benzene, the ∆H° of vaporization is 30.72 kJ/mol and the ∆S° of vaporization is 86.97 J/mol･K. At 1.00 atm and 228.0 K, what is the ∆G° of vaporization for benzene, in kJ/mol?

The reaction Q(g) + R(g) → Z(l) is shown to be exothermic. Which of the following is true concerning the reaction.  it is spontaneous only at High T, it is spontaneous at low T  it is nonspontaneous at all T it is spontanrous at all T.  it is non spontaneous only at low T.
