Chapter 17.13, Problem 29P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given following esters which cannot undergo claisen condensation has to be predicted.

Concept introduction: When two molecules of an ester undergo condensation is called claisen condensation.  Like in aldol reaction, in claisen condensation one molecule is a nucleophile and the other molecule is an electrophile.

A claisen condensation reaction is a reversible reaction and occurs in the presence of a strong base.

The first step of claisen condensation is the removal of a proton from alpha carbon by a base and then the addition of enolate ion formed to the second ester molecule forming a β-ketoester.

At 0oC and 1 atm, the viscosity of hydrogen (gas) is 8.55x10-5 P. Calculate the viscosity of a gas, if possible, consisting of deuterium. Assume that the molecular sizes are equal.
Indicate the correct option for the velocity distribution function of gas molecules:a) its velocity cannot be measured in any other way due to the small size of the gas moleculesb) it is only used to describe the velocity of particles if their density is very high.c) it describes the probability that a gas particle has a velocity in a given interval of velocitiesd) it describes other magnitudes, such as pressure, energy, etc., but not the velocity of the molecules
