Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The given carboxylic acids is to be prepared by using malonic ester synthesis.

Concept introduction: The malonic ester synthesis is a method which is used to convert diethyl malonate into a carboxylic acid. NaOEt is a strong base. It abstracts a proton from the alpha carbon of an ester molecule to forms an enolate.

Photochemical smog is formed in part by the action of light on nitrogen dioxide. The wavelength of radiation absorbed by NO2 in this reaction is 197 nm.(a) Draw the Lewis structure of NO2 and sketch its π molecular orbitals.(b) When 1.56 mJ of energy is absorbed by 3.0 L of air at 20 °C and 0.91 atm, all the NO2 molecules in this sample dissociate by the reaction shown. Assume that each absorbed photon leads to the dissociation (into NO and O) of one NO2 molecule. What is the proportion, in parts per million, of NO2 molecules in this sample? Assume that the sample behaves ideally.
