Be sure to answer all parts. ethyl butanoate, ch3ch2ch2co2ch2ch3, is one of the many organic compounds isolated from mangoes. wh
ich hydrogen is most readily removed when ethyl butanoate is treated with base? propose a reason for your choice, and using the data listed below, estimate its pka. h5ch02p59q
1 answer:
Ethyl Butanoate when treated with a base looses a proton which is more acidic in nature. In this case ethyl butanoate acts as a lowery bronsted acid. It donated the more acidic proton to lowery bronsted base.
Among the protons attached to different carbon atoms the hydrogen atoms next to carbonyl functional group (labelled as red in attached picture) are more acidic in nature and are readily donated on treatment with strong base. These hydrogen atoms are also called alpha hydrogen name after their position.
Acidity of Alpha Hydrogens:
The driving force behind the acidity of alpha hydrogens is the formation of enolates. The enolate formed is resonance stabilized. This stability is the main reason for the said acidity. The pKa value of said protons is approximately 20-25. Hence, the enolate formed is infact the conjugate base and can act as neucleophile.

Answer:
The velocity of the particle is 2 m/s,
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is defined as energy of the body due to its motion. It is given by :
Where :
m = mass of the object
v = velocity of the object
We have , particle with mass m and its kinetic energy is twice its mass.
And unit of velocity are m/s , so the velocity of the particle is 2 m/s.
Answer:
Explanation:
Resonance structure occurs in an organic compound that undergoes resonance effects. This resonance effect is sometimes called the mesomeric effect helps to increases the stability of organic compounds that have alternating single bonds and double bonds.
The second resonance structure diagram for the ion given in the question can be found in the attached diagram below.
Answer: 0.67 moles of
Explanation:
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number of particles.
To calculate the moles, we use the equation:
According to stoichiometry:
3 moles of is produced by 2 moles of
Thus 1 mole of is produced by=
of
Thus 0.67 moles of are required to produce 28.3 g of
