WHY ACETIC ACID IS STRONGER IN STRENGHT THAN CHLOROACETIC ACID ...?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aleksandr82 [10.1K]3 years ago
6 0
For this question, I think it is the other way around. It is true that chloroacetic acid is stronger in strength than acetic acid. Acid strength is measured as the equilibrium constant of the reaction <span>HA -----> H+ + A- 

</span><span> In acetic acid, the anion produced by dissociation is CH3-COO-; in chloroacetic acid it is CH2Cl-COO-. Comparing the two, in the first one the negative charge is taken up mostly by the two oxygen atoms. In the second there is also an electronegative chlorine atom nearby to draw more charge towards itself. Therefore, the charge is less concentrated in the chloroacetate ion than it is in the acetate ion, and, accordingly, chloroacetic acid is stronger than acetic acid. </span>

Answer:

even though I am missing the question I believe that the correct answer to the question is; <em>his cats will be brown (Dominant)</em>

Explanation:

this statement is true to the fact that on of his cats has the homozygous dominant gene BB. For their to be a chance of a white cat as an offspring both cats would either have to be Hetrozygous (Bb) or Homozygous recesssive (bb)

Carbon diselenide (CSe2) is a liquid at room temperature. The normal boiling point is 125°C, and the melting point is –45.5°C. C
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:  The strengths of the inter molecular forces varies as follows -

        CO_{2}< CS_{2} < CSe_{2}

The normal boiling point of CSe2 is 125°C and that of CS2 is 116°C, which explains the trend that as we move down the group, the boiling point of e compound increases as the size increases.

This usually happens because larger and heavier atoms have a tendency to exhibit greater inter molecular strengths due to the increase in size . As the size increases, the valence shell electrons move far away from the nucleus, thus has a greater tendency to attract the temporary dipoles.

And larger the inter molecular forces, more tightly the electrons will be held to each other and thus more thermal energy would be required to break the bonds between them.

Which of the statements about elements is true?
Jet001 [13]

1. No two elements have the same kind of atom.

Explanation:

The correct of all statement is that no two elements have the same kind of atoms.

Every element have different atoms.

  • Over a hundred elements have been identified by scientists.
  • Atoms are the smallest particles that takes part in chemical reactions.
  • Elements are distinct substances that cannot be split.
  • Atoms of all elements do not have the same mass and volume. Isotopes are examples.
  • It is true that atoms of all elements have different masses and also different volumes.
  • The volume of an atom is function of the number of electrons it contains.

Elements in group 16 want to bond with elements in group ___.
Trava [24]

Answer:

Two

Explanation:

Elements in group 16 wants to bond with elements in group IIA, the group of alkaline earth metals.

  • The bonding will make it easier for them complete their octet.
  • Elements in group 16 has 6 valence electrons.
  • To have a complete octet, they require 2 more electrons.
  • Group II elements are willing donors as they are metals.
  • For Group II elements to fill their octets, they must lose two electrons.
  • So the willingness of group II elements to lose two electrons and the readiness for group 16 elements to gain the electrons makes the desire one another.
