Diazomethane is a toxic yellow gas that is both sensitive and explosive. however, it is a useful reagent in the laboratory to make key intermediates by reacting with carboxylic acids in a quick and clean reaction. draw the expected organic product of diazomethane with the following carboxylic acid.

Carboxylic acids react with diazomethane to produce methyl esters.

Explanation:

Diazomethane has a high reactivity and is used to produce methyl esters with carboxylic acid in a immediately reaction, carried out at room temperature in the absence of catalysts.

As we can see in the image below

The subproduct is Nitrogen; knowing this, we must be careful with the production of this gas, and do the process in a vented place

"standard molar enthalpy:

h2o ( liquid water ) : - 285.8 kj/mole

h2o ( water vapor ) : - 241.8 kj / mole.

δhrxn = - 241. 8 - ( - 285.8 )= -241.8 + 285.8 = 44.0

answer: 44.0 kj"

the answer is 0.8m.
