Why are carboxylic acids more acidic than alcohols or alkynes? (choose all that apply)

Chemistry
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answers are (A.) Carboxylate ions have resonance, while alkoxides and acetylides don't (D.) Both carboxylic acids and carboxylates have resonance stabilization

Explanation:

When alcohols or alkynes donate a proton (H+), they become alkoxides acetylides respectively. Carboxylic acids on the other hand form carboxylate ions.

Carboxylate ions are more stable than their alkoxide and acetylides counterparts, because they possess a resonance structure which disperses its negative charge and allows for the valence electrons to be effectively delocalized.

Hence, carboxylic are more acidic than alcohols or alkynes.

A solution is made by dissolving 58.125 g of sample of an unknown, nonelectrolyte compound in water. The mass of the solution is
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

molecular weight (Mb) = 0.42 g/mol

Explanation:

mass sample (solute) (wb) = 58.125 g

mass sln = 750.0 g = mass solute + mass solvent

∴ solute (b) unknown nonelectrolyte compound

∴ solvent (a): water

⇒ mb = mol solute/Kg solvent (nb/wa)

boiling point:

  • ΔT = K*mb = 100.220°C ≅ 373.22 K

∴ K water = 1.86 K.Kg/mol

⇒ Mb = ? (molecular weight) (wb/nb)

⇒ mb = ΔT / K

⇒ mb = (373.22 K) / (1.86 K.Kg/mol)

⇒ mb = 200.656 mol/Kg

∴ mass solvent = 750.0 g - 58.125 g = 691.875 g = 0.692 Kg

moles solute:

⇒ nb = (200.656 mol/Kg)*(0.692 Kg) = 138.83 mol solute

molecular weight:

⇒ Mb = (58.125 g)/(138.83 mol) = 0.42 g/mol

How many electrons are transferred in the given redox reaction?<br><br> Zn+2AgNO3⟶2Ag+Zn(NO3)2
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

2 electrons are transfered in this reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation is a reaction where an atom, ion, or molecule loses electrons, while reduction corresponds to the electron gain of an atom, ion, or molecule.

In an oxidation-reduction reaction two simultaneous processes take place, oxidation and reduction.

So, oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. They are also called electron transfer reactions since the particle that is exchanged is the electron.

In this case:

Zn(s) ⇒ Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

2 Ag⁺  (aq) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ 2 Ag(s)

So, zinc metal loses two electrons to form the zinc(II) ions, while the two silver ions each gain one  electron to form two silver metal atoms.

Then, Zn is a reducing agent (The reducing agent is the one that provides the electrons, oxidizing itself), AgNO3 is an oxidizing agent (The oxidizing agent is the one that traps the electrons, reducing itself).

Finally, you can see that <u><em>2 electrons are transfered in this reaction.</em></u>

Choose the answer in which the three atoms and/or ions are listed in order of increasing EXPECTED size (smallest particle listed
svp [43]

Answer:

Ar < Cl - < S2-

Explanation:

All the species written above are isoelectronic. This means that they all possess the same number of electrons. All the species above possess 18 electrons, the noble gas electron configuration.

However, for isoelectronic species, the greater the atomic number of the specie, the smaller it is. This is because, greater atomic number implies that their are more protons in the nucleus exerting a greater attractive force on the electrons thereby making the specie smaller in size due to high electrostatic attraction.

A tanker truck carrying 6.05×103 kg of concentrated sulfuric acid solution tips over and spills its load. The sulfuric acid solu
irinina [24]

Answer:

6,216.684 kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize 6.05\times 10^3 kg of sulfuric acid solution.

Explanation:

Mass of sulfuric acid solution = 6.05\times 10^3 kg=6.05\times 10^6 g

1 kg = 10^3 g

Percentage mass of sulfuric acid = 95.0%

Mass of sulfuric acid = \frac{95.0}{100}\times 6.05\times 10^6 g

=5,747,500 g

Moles of sulfuric acid = \frac{5,747,500 g}{98 g/mol}=58,647.96 mol

H_2SO_4+Na_2CO_3\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+CO_2+H_2O

According to reaction , 1 mole of sulfuric acid is neutralized by 1 mole of sodium carbonate.

Then 58,647.96 moles of sulfuric acisd will be neutralized by :

\frac{1}{1}\times 58,647.96 mol=58,647.96 mol of sodium carbonate

Mass of 58,647.96 moles of sodium carbonate :

106 g/mol\times 58,647.96 mol=6,216,683.76 g

6,216,683.76 g = 6,216,683.76 × 0.001 kg = 6,216.684 kg

6,216.684 kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize 6.05\times 10^3 kg of sulfuric acid solution.
