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.

Convert 2.1 mole of Al2(SO4)3 ionic units to a number of particles.​
Semenov [28]

1.26 x 10²⁴particles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of the compound = 2.1 moles

Unknown:

Number of particles contained in the compound = ?

Solution:

A mole can be defined as the amount of a substance that contains Avogadro's number of particles 6.02 x 10²³.

The particles mentioned here can be atoms, molecules, formula units, ions, electrons, protons, neutrons and so forth.

To solve for the number of moles:

   Number of particles  = number of moles x 6.02 x 10²³

Number of particles = 2.1 x  6.02 x 10²³ = 12.64 x  10²³ = 1.26 x 10²⁴particles

List the following compounds in decreasing electronegativity difference. cl2 hcl nacl
Mkey [24]
Based on Pauling Scale, electro negativity of Cl = 3.2, Na = 0.9 and H = 2.1

Thus, Electronegativity difference  in Cl_{2} = 3.2 -3.2 = 0
Electronegativity difference  in NaCl = 3.2-0.9 = 2.3
Similarly, Electronegativity difference  in HCl = 3.2 - 2.1 = 1.1

Thus, among the listed molecules following is the decreasing order of electronegativity difference: NaCl> HCl > Cl_{2}

Physical properties of glass bottle
Paul [167]
Glass is a hard substance that consists of sand, soda ash and limestone. When these substances are heated together, their molecules bond to form the substance we know as glass. We use glass for many purposes, and glass bottles have become a popular method of storage, as well as being used in chemical experiments.

e-lub [12.9K]
<span>pm stands for picometer and picometers are units which can be used to measure really tiny distances. One picometer is equal to 10^{-12} meters. We know that one centimeter is equal to 10^{-2} m so there are 10^2 cm per meter. We can change the distance d = 115 pm to units of centimeters. d = (115 pm) x (10^{-12}m / pm) x (10^2 cm / m) d = 115 x 10^{-10} cm = 1.15 x 10^{-8} cm The distance in centimeters is 1.15 x 10^{-8} cm</span>

Drinking water may contain a low concentration of lead ion (Pb2 ) due to corrosion of old lead pipes. The EPA has determined tha
Lynna [10]

Answer:

3.861x10⁻⁹ mol Pb⁺²

Explanation:

We can <u>define ppm as mg of Pb²⁺ per liter of water</u>.

We<u> calculate the mass of lead ion in 100 mL of water</u>:

  • 100.0 mL ⇒ 100.0 / 1000 = 0.100 L
  • 0.100 L * 0.0080 ppm = 8x10⁻⁴ mg Pb⁺²

Now we <u>convert mass of lead to moles</u>, using its molar mass:

  • 8x10⁻⁴ mg ⇒ 8x10⁻⁴ / 1000 = 8x10⁻⁷ g
  • 8x10⁻⁷ g Pb²⁺ ÷ 207.2 g/mol = 3.861x10⁻⁹ mol Pb⁺²
