- Dihydroxyacetone reacts with phosphoric acid to form the monoester called dihydroxyacetone phosphate. Complete the reaction for its formation.arrow_forwardLipoic acid is required by many microorganisms for proper growth. As a disulfide, it functions in the living system by catalyzing certain oxidation reactions and is reduced in the process. Write the structure of the reduction product.arrow_forwardIf you attempted to make soap from butanoic acid by forming sodium butanoate, would your preparation have the properties to act as an emulsifying agent (soap)?arrow_forward
- Bisphenol A is widely used as a building block in polymer synthesis and is found in the polycarbonate hard plastics of reusable drink containers, DVDs, cell phones, and other consumer goods. Bisphenol A is reported to have estrogenic activity, and its widespread occurrence in our environment is a potential concern. Describe one or two biochemical experiments that could be done to compare the activity of bisphenol A with that of its estradiol, its structural relative.arrow_forwardWrite an equation for the acid-base equilibrium of:(a) Pyrrolidine and water (b) Pyridine and waterarrow_forward6.

How would the student have to set up this reaction?arrow_forwardWhen reacting an acid halide with amines, it is necessary to use at least two moles of the amine because: A) Acid halides are so unreactive that two moles of the attacking nucleophile are needed B) Using one mole of the amine leads to a neutralization reaction between the two reactants C) Excess amine is needed to react with the hydrohalic acid produced D) The second mole of amine is needed for deprotonation.arrow_forward
- Write the acid dissociation chemical equation for acetic acid and the chemical equation for the reaction of acetic acid with sodium hydroxide.arrow_forwardWhat is the product of the following acid-base reaction:arrow_forwardAspirin is the common name for the compound acetylsalicylic acid, widely used as a fever reducer and as a pain killer. Salicylic acid, whose name comes from Salix, the willow family of plants, was derived from willow bark extracts. In folk medicine, willow bark teas were used as headache remedies and other tonics. Nowadays, salicylic acid is administered in the form of aspirin which is less irritating to the stomach than salicylic acid. To prepare aspirin, salicylic acid is reacted with an excess of acetic anhydride. A small amount of a strong acid is used as a catalyst which speeds up the reaction. In this experiment, phosphoric acid will be used as the catalyst. The excess acetic acid will be quenched with the addition of water. The aspirin product is not very soluble in water so the aspirin product will precipitate when water is added. The synthesis reaction of aspirin is shown below: Actic anhydride 5 ml.
