The claisen condensation converts 2 molecules of an ester into a β-keto ester. the reaction starts with the ester in an alkoxide/alcohol solution and is worked up with acid to form the neutral β-keto ester product. show the curved-arrow mechanism for the claisen condensation of ethyl ethanoate treated with ethoxide ion.

How are elements arranged in a periodic table

Astudent made a graph plotting the progress of a reaction over time. the student forgot to label the y-axis of the graph. a graph is shown with two graph lines. one graph line starts at a higher position on the y axis and slopes downwards towards the right. the other graph line starts at a lower position on the y axis and slopes upwards towards the right. the two graph lines stop short of intersecting each other and continue as separate lines which gradually become straight and parallel to the x axis. a vertical line is shown at a point where the two graph lines finally became parallel to the x axis. this vertical line is labeled equilibrium. the title on the x axis is time and an arrow pointing towards the right is shown above time. the title on the y axis is left blank. what best explains the label that the student should use on the y-axis? amount, because as the amount of product decreases, the amount of reactant increases over time. reaction rate, because forward and backward reaction become equal at equilibrium. amount, because the amounts of reactants and products become constant after equilibrium is reached. reaction rate, as the rate of forward reaction increases and rate of backward reaction decreases over time.

2pos suppose an object in free fall is dropped from a building. its starting velocity is 0 m/s. ignoring the effects of air resistance, what is the speed (in m/s) of the object after falling 3 seconds? give your answer as a positive decimal without units. answer here
