Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the molar enthalpy of reaction is obtained by dividing the involved energy by the reacting moles:
Thus, it is important to notice that the compound "uses" the energy, it means that it absorbs the energy, for that reason the sign is positive. Moreover, computing the result in kJ/mol we finally obtain:
Best regards.
Answer:
The four resonance structures of the phenoxide ion are shown in the image attached
The conjugate base of cyclohexanol has only one resonance contributor, while
the conjugate base of phenol has four resonance contributors.
Explanation:
In organic chemistry, it is known that structures are more stable if they possess more resonance contributors. The greater the number of contributing canonical structures, the more stable the organic specie. Since the phenoxide ion has four contributing canonical structures, it is quite much more stable than cyclohexanol having only one contributing structure to its conjugate base. Hence the PKa(acid dissociation constant) of phenol is lesser than that of cyclohexanol. The conjugate base of phenol is stabilized by resonance.
