Question

Why does acetyl chloride (2 carbons with 1 polar functional group) react with water almost violently, but you had to warm and shake the mixture of water and benzoyl chloride (7 carbons)? (Hint: What did you observe when you first added benzoyl chloride to water? Why did you need to shake this mixture while heating it?) It created little droplets in the water that wouldn't dissolve until we heated it and dissolved it. The acetyl chloride has a small R group, while the benzoyl chloride has a larger R group. The smaller the R group, the faster the reaction. Therefore, acetyl chloride reacts faster than benzoyl chloride due to the localization of the carbonyl carbon. What is the gas in the bubbles observed when the crude methyl benzoate product is washed with sodium bicarbonate? Write a balanced chemical equation that produces this gas. Hint: Consider the acidity of the solution (some HCl will still be present). Write the mechanism, showing electron flow with arrows, for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl acetate to acetic acid and methanol - the reverse of a Fischer esterification reaction.

Step 1

Step 1: Acetyl chloride reacts with water more violently compared to benzoyl chloride because acetyl chloride has a smaller polar functional group, making it more reactive. Show more…

Why does acetyl chloride (2 carbons with polar functional group) react with water almost violently, but when you first added benzoyl chloride (2 carbons), it did not react as quickly? (Hint: What did you observe when you added water? Did you need to shake this mixture while heating and why? We heated it in the water bath and would not dissolve the acetyl chloride. The small bubbles formed while heating the benzoyl chloride (faster than acetyl chloride). What is the gas in the bubbles? Write balanced chemical equation that produces this gas. Hint: Consider the acidity of the solution of bicarbonate. What happens to the crude methyl benzoate product when it is washed with sodium solution (some HCI will still be present). Write the mechanism, showing electron flow with arrows, for the reverse of a Fischer esterification reaction; acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl acetate.

00:01 Hello students in this question we have said that the acyl chloride react with water valiantly.

00:10 React with water violently.

00:14 Voluntly, benzyl chloride should be first mixed and mixed with the warm water by.

00:27 Warm water while so here the first part is that we will add or we should but have to mix it as the little drops add little droplets in the water it creates it creates that would not dissolve that would not dissolve until until we heated it until we heated it.

01:18 Then we can say that the acyl chloride has a small r group while benzyl chloride has enzyl chloride has large r group.

01:47 Large r group.

01:50 So the smaller r group, so smaller r group, faster will be the reaction.

02:15 So this is the answer of part a.

02:18 Now the part b says that, so, bubbles of co2 is formed as when we watched the hcl is still added.

02:37 The hcl is still present in a solution.

02:50 So sodium bicarbonate reacts reacts with hcl and the reaction will be that is hcl plus nahco3 it gives out nacl plus h2o plus co2 so the form co2 is a bubbles containing the co2 bubbles contains co2.

03:43 This is answer of part b.

03:46 We have to sow the acidified astrification reaction.

03:52 So here we have och3, och3.

04:02 So acidify means the acid or the h plus react.

04:07 Here the loan pair attacked on this...
