Answer #1

Answer – We are given the ester molecules and we need to write the mechanism for the saponification for the given molecule methyl tetradecanoate. We know saponification means the hydrolysis of ester. When ester reacts with base and water there is formed carboxylic acid and alcohol and this is called saponification. In this one methyl tetradecanoate gets saponification and form the methanol and tetradecanoic acid.

The mechanism for saponification as follow –

I have provided the information for the lab below. I want to see the chemical reactions that take place during each step of the experiment. So in the procedures when a chemical was added i would like to see what the products and byproducts that were formed. I also want to see one over all reaction for this experiment to just get an overview of what exactly is happening during the experiment. Thank you:) Part B: Synthesis of [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 Objective:...
