19-16 Classify each of the fatty acids in Problem 19-14 using the
omega classification system or indicate that the omega
classification system does not apply to the fatty acid.
1 formula for the fatty acid
Using the following as possible steps in a pathway:
2 ClF (g) + O2 (g) → Cl2O (g) + OF2 (g)
ΔH° = 167.5 kJ
2 OF2 (g) → 2 F2 (g) + O2 (g)
ΔH° = 43.5 kJ
2 ClF3 (l) + 2 O2 (g) → Cl2O (g) + 3 OF2 (g)
ΔH° = 394.1 kJ
Determine a ΔH° for the reaction of gaseous chlorine monofluoride with gaseous fluorine to produce liquid chlorine trifluoride. Balance with the lowest whole number coefficients. Place your answer in the box provided.
In the breakdown of fatty acids, we see the activation of a carboxylic
acid by its conversion to a
amine
ester
alcohol
thioester
carbonyl
aldehyde
