when the double bond between 2 carbons will break CO2 will be released.
when the double bond between carbon which is attached to methyl group breaks CH3COH is formed which is furthur oxidised to CH3COOH acid,another organic product.
Hope this will help.

Increasing the [pb2+ aq] causes equilibrium of 2nd reaction to shift backward and Electrode potential becomes less for the second reaction, and Electrode potential increases for the first reaction, ie Pb-->pb2+ + 2e-
So the E° for forward reaction is something less then +1.47 and for the backward reaction it is something more then -0.13
This causes the E cell to decrease
But the answer is INCREASE ...
this question is from mj2010 va' 41 q 5b(iv)

My bad :p
I answered for increasing [Pb2+] rather thn decreasing
Just remember this, if equilibrium shift backward the electrode potential decrease and if it shifts forward elecrtode potential increases. Now u can work out the answer, it opposite to what happens when we increase [Pb2+]

the same paper as
Ethanoyl chloride, because this is an esterification reaction.
ok i get it but i used conc. H2SO4 with heat under reflux for ester reactions and since i saw this as esterification i did the same here ut was wrong!!
can u please tell y we cant use H2SO4?
Ohh and thank you for replying!

this one is from the same one as before, o/n 2010 p42
to me the reaction seem same going by the molecular formula and i cant say how the structure will be so can someone just give me a drawing of it's structure??

with acyl chlorides we get a much higher yield because HCl is evolved which is a gas and escapes from the reaction vessel causing equilibrium to move forward. So acyl chloride are preferred in esterification reactions

Hi guys! Can you help me with this questions? Thank you in advance
View attachment 37249 View attachment 37249


NH4NO2 You need to come up with all possible molecular ions which can be formed from this..

Notice the peaks of A and B at 18 and 44. so form the compounds which can total to those two.

N - 14
O - 16
H - 1

For Compound A it's easy.. form the compounds which can total to 18.. H2O = 18 .. so answer for gas A will be H2O+, OH+, O+ (Remember only cations are present in the mass spectrometer)

For Compound B however it's difficult.. you know that one of the peaks is at 14 .. so that will be N+, another is at 16 so that will be O+ and one at 28 which will be N2+.. and at 30 it can be 14+16.. so NO+ so the compound has 2Ns and one O.. it's N2O! which cuz that equals 44 mass..

So answers for compound B will be N+,O+,N2+,NO+ and N2O+

Cheers

Can someone please explain what exactly is standard enthalpy change of atomisation?
standard enthalpy cahnge of atomisation is when one mole of gaseous atom are formed from element in there standard states!
suppose you have copper, Cu
naturally in the environment it exit as Cu(s)
but we convert it to gas by providing energy to it, thus it form Cu(g), the energy we provided is called the atomisation energy, and if we do it to a specific mass or mole of Cu(s) then it's called standard enthalpy change of atomisation!
so our equation will be Cu(s) ------> Cu(g)

pleasee memberss!!
i really need revision sites for Chemistry stoichiometry!!!
moles iss really baddd.. i am not soo good in itt!
