Answer:

Conjugate base of naphthol is highly stable but conjugate base of ethanol is unstable.

Explanation:

Naphthol gives acid base reaction with NaOH where naphthol acts as an acid and NaOH as a base.

Reactivity of naphthol towards NaOH is quite high because the conjugate base of naphthol is highly stable. Stability of the conjugate base arises due to delocalization of negative charge on oxygen atom into aromatic naphthalene ring.

Ethanol is not so reactive towards NaOH because the ethoxide ion is highly unstable due to lack of delocalization of negative charge on oxygen atom.

Resonance structures of conjugate base of naphthol has been shown below.

Determine how many grams of silver would be produced, if 12.83 x 10^23 atoms of copper react with an excess of silver nitrate. G
AnnyKZ [126]
1) Chemical equation

Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> Cu (NO3)2 + 2Ag

2) molar ratios

1 mol Cu: 2 moles AgNO3 : 1 mol Cu (NO3)2 : 2 mol Ag

3) Convert 12. 83 * 10^23 atoms of Cu in moles

12.83 * 10 ^ 23 atoms / (6.02 * 10^23 atoms / mol) = 2.131 mol Cu

4) Use the proportions

2.131 mol Cu * 2 mol Ag / 1 mol Cu = 4.262 mol Ag

5) Use the atomic mass of silver to convert 4.262 mol in grams

mass = number of moles * atomic mass = 4.262 mol * 107.9 g / mol = 459.9 grams

Answer: 459.9 g

A multivitamin tablet contains 40 milligrams of potassium. how many moles of potassium does each tablet contain?
katrin2010 [14]
Conversion of mole to grams
k in mole = 1 mole/ atomic mass
K in mole =1/ 39.0983 g/mole
                = 0.255765 g/mole
converting 40 grams of K
 K 40 grams x [ 1 mole/ 39.0983 grams] = 1.0230623 mole
There are 1.0230623 moles of K in 40 K of Potassium

If 34.7 g of AgNO₃ react with 28.6 g of H₂SO₄ according to this UNBALANCED equation below, how many grams of Ag₂SO₄ could be for
Luba_88 [7]

The  number  of grams   of Ag2SO4  that could be formed  is   31.8  grams



    <u><em> calculation</em></u>

Balanced   equation is  as below

2 AgNO3 (aq)  + H2SO4(aq)  →  Ag2SO4 (s)   +2 HNO3 (aq)


  • Find  the  moles  of  each reactant by use  of  mole= mass/molar mass  formula

that is  moles of  AgNO3= 34.7 g / 169.87  g/mol= 0.204 moles

             moles of  H2SO4 =  28.6  g/98  g/mol  =0.292  moles

  • use the  mole  ratio to determine the moles of  Ag2SO4

   that is;

  •    the mole ratio of  AgNo3 : Ag2SO4 is  2:1 therefore  the  moles of Ag2SO4=  0.204  x1/2=0.102 moles

  • The moles  ratio of H2SO4  : Ag2SO4  is  1:1  therefore  the moles of Ag2SO4 = 0.292  moles

 

  •      AgNO3  is the limiting reagent therefore  the moles of   Ag2SO4 = 0.102  moles

<h3>     finally  find  the mass  of Ag2SO4  by use of    mass=mole  x molar mass  formula</h3>

that  is  0.102   moles  x  311.8  g/mol= 31.8 grams
