Draw the most stable resonance structure for the intermediate in the electrophilic aromatic bromination of aniline, anisole, and
acetanilide to make the respective monobrominated products. compare their relative stability and the predict the relative reactivities of each starting compound.

Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
(a) Intermediates
The three structures below represent one contributor to the resonance-stabilized intermediate, in which the lone pair electrons on the heteroatom are participating (the + charge on the heteroatoms do not show up very well).
(b) Relative Stabilities
The relative stabilities decrease in the order shown.
N is more basic than O, so NH₂ is the best electron donating group (EDG) and will best stabilize the positive charge in the ring. However, the lone pair electrons on the N in acetanilide are also involved in resonance with the carbonyl group, so they are not as available for stabilization of the ring.
(c) Relative reactivities
The relative reactivities would be
C₆H₅-NH₂ > C₆H₅-OCH₃ > C₆H₅-NHCOCH₃

Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the increase in the temperature involves the addition of heat that is defined in terms of mass, heat capacity and temperature:
In this case, the heat capacity of iron is 0.450 J/(g*K), thus the heat results:
In such a way, since the temperature is increased heat is added, that is why it is positive.
Best regards.
