Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the ester group

The molecule has a -COO- group, indicating it is an ester.

Step 2: Identify the alkyl groups

Attached to the oxygen is a methyl (CH3) group. Attached to the carbonyl carbon is also a methyl (CH3) group which when combined with the carbonyl makes this the ethanoate group or acetate group depending on which naming convention you use.

Step 3: Name the ester

Esters are named as alkyl alkanoates where 'alkyl' is the group attached to the single bonded oxygen and alkanoate is the group containing the C=O group. In this case the name is methyl ethanoate (IUPAC) or methyl acetate (common name).

Final Answer

methyl ethanoate; methyl acetate

Tamara has 140 feet of fencing to construct a rectangular area next to a house. Tamara will only need to fence three sides, because the fourth side will be the wall of the house. Lastly, Tamara wants the length of the enclosure (parallel to the house wall) to be 20 feet more than three times the width. Using the variables l and w to represent the length and width of the enclosure, respectively, write a system of equations to describe this situation. Enter the equations below, separated by a comma.

At t=0 s, the number of Y particles is the number of A particles. At t=60 s, the number of the Z particles is the number of B particles. Therefore, the number of Y particles turned into Z particles is the number of A particles turned to B particles for the same amount of time. Therefore, the rate of reaction Y → Z is the rate of the reaction A → B.
