Draw a Lewis (electron dot) structure of ethanoic acid, CH3COOH.
Calculate the mass percentage of oxygen in ethanoic acid.
Ethanoic acid and propanone, CH3COCH3, both contain a carbonyl group and have similar molar masses. (i) Explain, in terms of the strongest intermolecular forces present in each liquid, why propanone boils at a much lower temperature than ethanoic acid.…
Explain why there has been so much recent research into this process.
State the expression for Kc for this reaction.
Bond enthalpies give an estimate of the enthalpy change of a reaction. Assume that all species are gases. (i) Use bond enthalpies from section 12 of the data booklet to determine the standard enthalpy change, ΔH⊖, of the forward reaction. (ii)…
Using your answer to part 2c(i), deduce how the value of Kc changes when the temperature is raised.
The conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol is usually carried out over a catalyst containing copper and zinc oxide. (i) Sketch energy profiles for the forward reaction, with and without the catalyst, on the axes shown. Label ΔH and the two activation…
Determine the oxidation state of carbon in methanol, CH3OH.
State the name of the reagent that is heated with propanoic acid to form this ester.
A student heated 3.85 g of propanoic acid with an excess of the second reagent and isolated 3.12 g of the ester. Determine the percentage yield.
State the class of organic compounds to which CH3CH2COOCH3 belongs.
Draw the full structural formula of a carboxylic acid that is a structural isomer of the ester CH3CH2COOCH3.
State the name of a compound that would form the carboxylic acid you drew in part 3e when it is heated under reflux with an excess of an oxidizing agent.
The enthalpy changes of two reactions of the gases involved are known: ΔH1 = −548.8 kJ mol−1…
Deduce the shapes of the CO2 and H2O molecules and explain why they differ.
Iron has a number of natural isotopes. A sample of iron was enriched in to produce a mixture with the following composition: (i) Calculate the relative atomic mass of the enriched sample, giving your answer to two decimal places. (ii) Natural…
Aluminium is a low-density metal that is used in lightweight alloys. Aluminium is produced by the electrolysis of molten aluminium oxide (in industry dissolved in molten cryolite to lower the operating temperature). A simplified cell is shown in the diagram.…
