Reaction conditions and product isolation…

a)What is the purpose of using Silica Gel in this Fischer esterification reaction? Explain.

b) The crude reaction product did not still contain a large excess of acetic acid (this fact should be apparent from your GC results and your answer to Question 4. How was the excess acetic acid removed? Include a complete and balanced chemical reaction equation as the basis of your answer.

c)A large excess of acetic acid was used, what is the purpose of the excess?

d)Excess of 1-butanol could be also used, but practical considerations favor the method that you followed (excess of acetic acid rather than 1-butanol). Explain the complications that would arise during the product isolation step if you were to use an excess of 1-butanol instead.

1)To determine the oxidation state of a monoatomic ion, first determine the charge of the ion. The oxidation state will be the same as the charge. For example, I forms the monoatomic ion I−; therefore, the oxidation state of the monoatomic ion for I is −1.

What is the oxidation number of the monoatomic ions of the following elements?

Drag each item to the appropriate bin.

Ca, Cs, F, Rb, Mg, Po, S, B, K, N, I

4)In acidic solution, the nitrate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is

NO3−(aq)+Sn2+(aq)→NO2(aq)+Sn4+(aq)

NO3−(aq)+Sn2+(aq)+     −−−→NO2(aq)+Sn4+(aq)+

What are the coefficients of the reactants and products in the balanced equation above? Remember to include H2O(l) and H+(aq) in the appropriate blanks. Your answer should have six terms.

Enter the equation coefficients in order separated by commas (e.g., 2,2,1,4,4,3). Include coefficients of 1, as required, for grading purposes.
