Chapter 2: Q15.54 P (page 40)

Many substitution reactions involve an initial electrostatic attraction between reactants. Show where this attraction arises in the formation of an amide from an amine and an ester

Short Answer

Expert verified

Formation of amide:

Step by step solution

01

Electrostatic attraction

These are the attraction between the molecules due to the electric charges between them, molecules having a positive direction and another having a negative control.

02

Formation of amide

As the amide is formed by reacting of amine with ester as ester has carbonyl carbon having positive charge when electron density shifts to carbonyl oxygen then amine nitrogen attack on the carbonyl shows electrostatic attraction and then amid formation occurred as established:

Formation of amide

Thomson was able to determine the mass/charge ratio of the electron but not it's mass. How did Millikan’s experiment allow the determination of the electron’s mass?

Zinc sulfide (ZnS) occurs in the zinc blend crystal structure.How many kilograms of Zn are in 3.82 kg of ZnS?

Choose the correct answer. The difference between the mass number of an isotope and its atomic number is (a)directly related to the identity of the element; (b) the number of electrons; (c) the number of neutrons; (d) the number of isotopes.

State the mass law(s) demonstrated by the following experimental results, and explain your reasoning:

Experiment 1: A student heats 1.27 g of copper and 3.50 g of iodine to produce 3.81 g of a white compound; 0.96 g of iodine remains.

Experiment 2: A second student heats 2.55 g of copper and 3.50 g of iodine to form 5.25 g of a white compound, and 0.80 g of copper remains.

The mass percent of sulfur in a sample of coal is a key factor in the environmental impact of the coal because the sulfur combines with oxygen when the coal is burned and the oxide can then be incorporated into acid rain. Which of the following coals would have the smallest environmental impact?
