Identify the option that is not a characteristic of esters:

1.they are prepared by reacting acids with alcohols.

2.they each contain a carbonyl group with an attached oxygen atom that is bonded to a carbon substituent.

3.they are responsible for the odors and flavors of many flowers, perfumes, and ripe fruits.

4.they are prepared by reducing alcohols or aldehydes whose -oh functional group is located on the carbon atom in the middle of the carbon chain.

Answer from: opgbadwolf5

Option 4 is not the characteristics of esters

Explanation:

Esters :

They are organic compound derived from an organic or inorganic acid. in which one Hydroxyl (OH) group is replaced by an organic alkoxy (-O-R) group.

General formula of Esters:

Easter can be represented by a general formula that is

RCOOR

where R is any alkyl group

No to look at the characteristics of the Esters an find out the odd one option that is not correct.

Option 1 is the characteristics of esters.

Esters are obtained from the reaction of carboxylic acid and an alcohol.

CH₃COOH + CH₃OH > CH₃COOCH₃ + H₂O

Option 2 is the characteristics of esters.

This option is also correct as if we see at its general formula

The carbonyl group attached to an Oxygen atom and this oxygen is attached to carbon of alkyl group

O==COR

Option 3 is also the characteristics of esters

The odors and flavors of many flowers, perfumes, and ripe fruits is due to the presence of ester. as ester have now hydrogen bonding and low vapor pressure and highly volatile that's why it is responsible for odors.

Option 4 is not the characteristics of esters

This option is wrong, as the carbon atom in the middle of the carbon chain can not be easy to replace, also the carbonyl carbon is directly attached to oxygen group and not Carbon group.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (c) /// is a homogeneous mixture of gaseous substance nitrogen,oxygen and smaller amounts of other substancesmixtures can be either ( homogeneous or heterogeneous)plz check first good luck

Answer from: Quest

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).

During metamorphic processes, increased pressure and temperature can affect the of minerals in rock. rocks subjected to very high pressure are typically than others because mineral grains are squeezed together, and the atoms are more closely packed. during metamorphic processes, water facilitates the transfer of ions between and within minerals, which can the rate at which metamorphic reactions take place. the growth of new minerals within a rock during metamorphism has been estimated to be about per million years. metamorphism is commonly associated with convergent plate boundaries, where two plates move toward each other. during contact metamorphism, a large intrusion will contain thermal energy and will cool much more slowly than a small one. metamorphosed sandstone is known as the metamorphic rock made from metamorphosed shale, was once used to make blackboards for classrooms.

Consider the reaction: 2al(s) + fe2o3(s) → al2o3(s) + 2fe(s) the δhf for fe2o3(s) = -824.3 kj/mole. the δhf for al2o3(s) = -1675.7 kj/mole. finish the equation. δhrxn = [(1)( kj/mole) + (2)( kj/mole)] - [(1)( kj/mole) + (2) ( kj/mole)]
