Despite its toxicity, arsenic is an essential
element. If humans do not consume at least
40 micrograms of this element per day it will
have adverse health effects. Natural medicine
sometimes offers arsenic supplements that
may contain the compounds shown below.
How would you synthesize the following
arsenic-based particles? HINT: start off with
yellow arsenic, As4, in each case!
a) ASF4(+)
b) ASF4(-)
c) AsO2(+)
d) ASO2F2(-)
Methyl acetate (CH;COOCH3) is formed by the reaction
of acetic acid with methyl alcohol. If the methyl alcohol
is labeled with oxygen-18, the oxygen-18 ends up in the
methyl acetate:
CH;COH + HSOCH3
CH;Č18OCH3 + H,O
(a) Do the C-OH bond of the acid and the O-H bond
of the alcohol break in the reaction, or do the O-H bond
of the acid and the C-OH bond of the alcohol break?
(b) Imagine a similar experiment using the radioisotope H,
which is called tritium and is usually denoted T. Would the
reaction between CH;COOH and TOCH; provide the same
information about which bond is broken as does the above
experiment with Hl$OCH;?
Consider the properties of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), potassium carbonate (K2CO3), andsodium hydroxide (NaOH). How do they differ by pKa? Nucleophilicity? Solubility?
