Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mechanism for transesterification of trimyristin using isopropanol in presence of acid catalyst need to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Transesterification is a process in which the alcohol group present in the carboxylate of triglyceride is exchanged by another organic alcohol group.  The general scheme can be shown as,

The steps involved in transesterification is,

  • Protonation
  • Nucleophilic attack
  • Deprotonation
  • Protonation
  • Loss of leaving group
  • Deprotonation

To draw: the mechanism of transesterification of trimyristin using isopropanol in presence of acid catalyst.

(6 pts - 2 pts each part) Although we focused our discussion on hydrogen light emission, all elements have distinctive emission spectra. Sodium (Na) is famous for its spectrum being dominated by two yellow emission lines at 589.0 and 589.6 nm, respectively. These lines result from electrons relaxing to the 3s subshell. a. What is the photon energy (in J) for one of these emission lines? Show your work. b. To what electronic transition in hydrogen is this photon energy closest to? Justify your answer-you shouldn't need to do numerical calculations. c. Consider the 3s subshell energy for Na - use 0 eV as the reference point for n=∞. What is the energy of the subshell that the electron relaxes from? Choose the same emission line that you did for part (a) and show your work.
