Why Formaldehyde is more reactive than Acetaldehyde?

Chemistry
1 answer:
tatyana61 [14]3 years ago
7 0
Aldehydes are usually more reactive<span> toward nucleophilic substitutions </span>than<span> ketones because of both steric and electronic effects. In aldehydes, the relatively small hydrogen atom is attached to one side of the carbonyl group, while a larger R group is affixed to the other side.</span>

Consider the reaction between iodine gas and chlorine gas to form iodine monochloride. A reaction mixture at 298.15k initially c
uranmaximum [27]

Step 1 : Write balanced chemical equation

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iodine gas and chlorine gas is given below.

I_{2}  (g) + Cl_{2}  (g) ----->  2 ICl (g)

Step 2 : Set up ICE table

We will set up an ICE table for the above reaction

Following points are considered while drawing ICE table

- The initial concentration of product is assumed as 0

- The change in concentration (C) is assumed as x. Change (x) is negative for reactants and positive for products

- The coefficients in balanced equation are considered while writing C values

Check attached file for ICE table

Step 3 : Set up equilibrium constant equation

The equation for equilibrium constant can be written as

K_{eq} = \frac{[ICl]^{2}}{[I_{2}][Cl_{2}]}

Step 4 : Solving for x

Keq at 298.15 K is given as 81.9

Let us plug in the equilibrium values (E) for I₂, Cl₂ and ICl from ICE table

81.9 = \frac{(2x)^{2}}{(0.437-x) (0.269-x)}

81.9 = \frac{(2x)^{2}}{x^{2} -0.706x + 0.118}

(2x)^{2} = 81.9 [ x^{2} -0.706x + 0.118]

4x^{2} = 81.9x^{2} -57.8x +9.66

77.9x^{2} -57.8x+9.66 = 0

Solving the above equation using quadratic formula we get

x = 0.488 or x = 0.254

The value 0.488 cannot be used because the change (C) cannot be greater that initial concentration of the reactants.

Therefore the change in concentration of the gases during the reaction is 0.254 M

Hence, x = 0.254 M

From the ICE table, we know that the equilibrium concentration of ICl is 2x

[ICl]_{eq} = 2 ( 0.254) = 0.508 M

The concentration of ICl when the reaction reaches equilibrium is 0.508 M

Write the name for NaCl
neonofarm [45]

The name for NaCl is Sodium chloride

<h3>Salt and it's examples.</h3>

Salt is defined as the chemical compound that contains both a positively charged cation.and negatively charged anion.

It is formed by the reaction of acid and base is a neutralisation reaction.

Examples of salt include:

  • Sodium Chloride or Common Salt (NaCl)

  • Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)

  • Sodium Carbonate or Washing Soda (Na2CO3.10H2O)

  • Baking Soda or Sodium Bi-carbonate (NaHCO3)

  • Bleaching Powder or Calcium Hypochlorite.

Therefore another name for salt is common salt.

Which statement correctly describes an atom of the element helium? (9)
Luden [163]

C. An atom of helium has its valence electrons in its first energy level, it wouldn't and can't satisfy the Octet rule as it only has 2 electrons, but with 2, it has a full shell, as the first energy level can hold only 2 electrons.
