Esters can be synthesized by an acid-catalyzed nucleophilic acyl substitution between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid; this process is called the Fischer esterification reaction. Because the alcohol oxygen is a poor nucleophile, the carbonyl carbon is made a better electrophile by protonation of the carbonyl oxygen. The steps of the synthesis are all reversible. The reaction is generally driven to completion by using an excess of the liquid alcohol as a solvent, or by distilling off the product as it forms. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

What is avogadro’s number, and why is it useful

Ineed someone to see if my answers are correct! if any are wrong let me know what the correct answers would be and how to get that answer! 1. how many moles of sodium chloride are in 28 grams od nacl? a. 265 mole naclb. 856 mole naclc. 479 mole of nacld. 1.2 mole nacl < my choice2. 734 grams of lithium sulfate (li2so4) are dissolved to make 2500 ml of solution what is rhe molaratiy? a. 2.67 mb. 4.56 mc. 3.89 m < my choiced. 1.78 m3. how many grams of cacl2 would be dissolved in 3.0 l of a 0.50 m solution of cacl2? a. 250 g cacl2 b. 166.5 g cacl2c. 113.65 g cacl2d. 98 g cacl2 < my choice4. suppose you had 58.44 g of nacl and you dissolved it in exactly 2.00 liters. the molarity if the solution would be 0.5 mtrue < my choicefalse 5. i would need 22g of naoh to make a 3.0 m solution using 250 ml of solvent.true < my choicefalse6. identify the solute: you have a .0195 m solution made from using 6.5 g of solute and 3 l of solvent. identify the solute by solving for molar weight.a. the solute is nacl because the molar weight is 58.43 g/mol < my choiceb. the solute is h2so4 because the molar weight is 98.06 g/molc. the solute is cacl2 because the molar weight is 111.11 g/mol
