A chemical change is characterized of the formation of new substances or a chemical reaction. There are a number of observations that we can see if this type of change happens. One would be the formation of gas bubbles, this indicates that one of the products is a gas. Another observation would be a formation of a precipitate in the solution, it would indicate that the new solid formed is not soluble in the solution. A permanent color change in the solution would also indicate a chemical change because it may be that the new substance that is formed has its own distinct color when in solution.
Answer:
Ka = ( [H₃O⁺] . [F⁻] ) / [HF]
Explanation:
HF is a weak acid which in water, keeps this equilibrium
HF (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇄ H₃O⁺ (aq) + F⁻ (aq) Ka
2H₂O (l) ⇄ H₃O⁺ (l) + OH⁻ (aq) Kw
HF is the weak acid
F⁻ is the conjugate stron base
Let's make the expression for K
K = ( [H₃O⁺] . [F⁻] ) / [HF] . [H₂O]
K . [H₂O] = ( [H₃O⁺] . [F⁻] ) / [HF]
K . [H₂O] = Ka
Ka, the acid dissociation constant, includes Kwater.
Answer:
See detailed mechanism in the image attached
Explanation:
The mechanism shown in detail below is the synthesis of serine in steps.
The first step is the attack of the ethoxide ion base on the diethyl acetamidomalonate substrate giving the enolate and formaldehyde.
The second step is the protonation of the oxyanion from (1) above to form an alcohol as shown.
Acid hydrolysis of the alcohol formed in (3) above yields a tetrahedral intermediate, a dicarboxyamino alcohol.
Decarboxylation of this dicarboxyamino alcohol yields serine, the final product as shown in the image attached.
Answer and Explanation:
The resonance contributor in cyclopentadienone (as shown in the attachment below) results into the compound having a positive charge on the carbonyl group, C=O which accounts for a highly reactive anti-aromatic 4π system. And this illustrates the reason for its instability.
