Part A What carboxylic acid would be formed if the malonic ester synthesis (alkylation of diethyl malonate followed by hydrolysis with acidic workup and decarboxylation) were carried out with one equivalent of malonic ester, one equivalent of 1,5-dibromopentane, and two equivalents of hydroxide as the base?

chemical digestion occurs in the stomach were hcl and pepsin forms chyme, the mouth in which salivary amylase breaks down starch to form bolus, and the small intestine specifically the duodenum.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
