Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the reactivity of carboxylate salt is less than that of esters in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Esters are formed by the reaction of an acid with an alcohol. The process of formation of esters is known as esterification.

The salt of a carboxylic acid is formed by the reaction of carboxylic acids with a base.

Nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions are a type of organic reaction in which a nucleophile attacks the carbonyl carbon atom derivative of carboxylic acids.

For each scenario below, select the color of the solution using the indicator thymol blue during the titration. When you first add indicator to your Na2CO3solution, the solution is basic (pH ~10), and the color is       ["", "", "", "", ""]  . At the equivalence point for the titration, the moles of added HCl are equal to the moles of Na2CO3. One drop (or less!) past this is called the endpoint. The added HCl begins to titrate the thymol blue indicator itself.  At the endpoint, the indicator color is       ["", "", "", "", ""]  . When you weren't paying attention and added too much HCl (~12 mL extra), the color is      ["", "", "", "", ""]  . When you really weren't paying attention and reached the second equivalence point of Na2CO3, the color is
The following reaction is run in which the initial conditions include only methane (CH4) at a concentration of0.115 M. Once equilibrium was established, the concentration of acetylene (C2H2) was measured to be 0.035M. What is the value of the equilibrium constant, K?2 CH4 (g) ⇋ C2H2 (g) + 3 H2 (g)
Calculate the equilibrium concentration of carbon dioxide for the following reaction:2 COF2 (g) ⇋ CF4 (g) + CO2 (g) Kc = 2.00 at 10.00 °C. at equilibrium [COF2] = 0.255M; [CF4] = 0.118M
