A pure copper cube has an edge length of 1.76 cm. How many copper atoms does it contain? (volume of a cube = (edge length)^3; density of copper = 8.96 g/cm^3 )
The Fischer esterification mechanism is examined in this question. The overall reaction is: Benzoic acid, C H 3 O H and H C l react to form a methyl ester, H 2 O and H C l. Benzoic acid is a carboxylic acid bonded to a benzene ring. Identify the results or mechanism of each step.
Answer:
See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
Fischer esterification is a type of reaction used to convert carboxylic acids to ester in the presence of excess alcohol and a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. Another final product formed in the reaction is water.
The mechanism for the fischer esterification of Benzoic acid and C H 3 O H in the presence of HCl as the catalyst is shown in the image attached to this answer.
The final products of the reaction are methyl benzoate, water and H^+ as shown in the image attached.
The methyl ester, water, and the acid catalyst (HCl) are byproducts of the Fischer esterification process, which involves protonation, nucleophilic attack, elimination, and deprotonation processes.
Carbonyl oxygen protonation: The carbonyl oxygen of the carboxylic acid (benzoic acid) is protonated by the acid catalyst (HCl) in the first step. The protonation of the carbonyl carbon increases its electrophilicity and promotes the alcohol's nucleophilic assault. Attack by the alcohol's nucleophilic oxygen (methanol, CH3OH) on the protonated carboxylic acid's carbonyl carbon results in the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. The acid catalyst also helps with this phase. Elimination of water: In the following step, the water molecule must be removed from the tetrahedral intermediate. The hydroxyl group (-OH) from the carboxylic acid and a hydrogen from the hydroxyl group of the alcohol are removed to create this water molecule. Deprotonation: A deprotonation occurs after the removal of water.

Sodium hydrogen carbonate, also called baking soda, is an active ingredient in some antacids used for the relief of indigestion. Determine the percent of carbon in sodium hydrogen carbonate.
Answer:
14.30%
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Chemical formula of sodium hydrogen carbonate: NaHCO₃
Step 2: Determine the mass of C in 1 mole of NaHCO₃
The is 1 atom of C in 1 molecule of NaHCO₃ and the molar mass of C is 12.01 g/mol. Then, there are 12.01 g of C in 1 mole of NaHCO₃.
Step 3: Determine the mnolar mass of NaHCO₃
M(NaHCO₃) = 1 × M(Na) + 1 × M(H) + 1 × M(C) + 3 × M(O)
M(NaHCO₃) = 1 × 22.98 g/mol + 1 × 1.01 g/mol + 1 × 12.01 g/mol + 3 × 16.00 g/mol = 84.00 g/mol
Step 4: Determine the mass percent of C in NaHCO₃
We will use the following expression.
%C = mC / mNaHCO₃ × 100%
%C = 12.01 g / 84.00 g × 100% = 14.30%
How does the neutron number in each compare
Answer:
Neutrons are all identical to each other, just as protons are. Atoms of a particular element must have the same number of protons but can have different numbers of neutrons.
Explanation:
Since the vast majority of an atom's mass is found its protons and neutrons, subtracting the number of protons (i.e. the atomic number) from the atomic mass will give you the calculated number of neutrons in the atom. In our example, this is: 14 (atomic mass) – 6 (number of protons) = 8 (number of neutrons).
