Why is it easier to deprotonate alkynes compared to alkanes and alkenes?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
8090 [49]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The acetylinic hydrogen atom is more acidic than the olefinic hydrogen atoms or hydrogen atoms attached to alkanes.

Explanation:

The acidity of a terminal alkyne is as a result of the high level of s character in the sp hybridized orbital, which bonds with the s orbital of the hydrogen atom to form a single bond. This very high level of s character in an sp‐hybridized carbon causes the region of overlap the σ bond to shift much closer to the carbon atom. This effect leads to a polarization the bond, causing the hydrogen atom to become slightly positive. This slight positive charge makes the acetylinic hydrogen atom a weak proton, which can be removed by a strong base.

In the case of alkanes and alkenes, the s character in the hybridized carbon bonds is much less than that of the acetylinic bond, resulting in fewer electronegative carbon atoms and a corresponding lesser shift of electron density toward those atoms in the overlap region of the σ bond. The location of the overlap region makes the corresponding hydrogen atoms less electron deficient and thus less acidic than the acetylinic hydrogen. In reality, the hydrogen atoms bonded to alkanes and alkenes can be removed as protons, but much stronger nonaqueous bases are necessary.

While soils are an important part of the global carbon cycle, they are not a part of the nitrogen and sulfur cycles.
Vladimir79 [104]

The correct answer is - False.

The soils are part of most of the major cycles that take place on the Earth, mainly because they are in touch with the other spheres. The carbon dioxide, as well as the nitrogen and the sulfur cycles too, end up in the soil in more cases than not during their cycles. While some are formed in it and than released, like the sulfur, the carbon mostly gets in it though the roots of the plants, as well as the decomposing organisms, and the nitrogen ends up in the soil with the water.

The soil is one of the most important pieces in the cycles of most of the gases on Earth, and without it, some will not even be possible.

1) When 2.38g of magnesium is added to 25.0cm of 2.27 M hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is released.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

a. HCl.

b. 0.057 g.

c. 1.69 g.

d. 77 %.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid is:

Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2

Whereas there is 1:2 mole ratio between them.

a) Here, we can identify the limiting reactant as that yielded the fewest moles of hydrogen gas product via the 1:1 and 2:1 mole ratios:

n_{H_2}^{by\  HCl}=0.025L*2.27\frac{molHCl}{1L}*\frac{1molH_2}{2molHCl}  =0.0284molH_2\\\\n_{H_2}^{by\  Mg}=2.38gMg*\frac{1molMg}{24.3gMg}*\frac{1molH_2}{1molMg}=0.0979molH_2

Thus, since hydrochloric yields fewer moles of hydrogen than magnesium, we realize it is the limiting reactant.

b) Here, we use the molar mass of gaseous hydrogen (2.02 g/mol) to compute the mass:

m_{H_2}=0.0284molH_2*\frac{2.02gH_2}{1molH_2}=0.057gH_2

c) Here, we compute the mass of magnesium associated with the yielded 0.0248 moles of hydrogen:

m_{Mg}^{reacted}=0.0284molH_2*\frac{1molMg}{1molH_2}*\frac{24.3gMg}{1molMg}  =0.690gMg

Thus, the mass of excess magnesium turns out:

m_{Mg}^{excess}=2.38g-0.690g=1.69gMg

d) Finally, we compute the percent yield, considering 0.044 g is the actual yield and 0.057 g the theoretical yield:

Y=\frac{0.044g}{0.057g} *100\%\\\\Y=77\%

Best regards!

Which direction does air circulate into low pressure zones in the northern and southern hemisphere
Yuri [45]
<span>Now consider a low pressure area on a disk as shown below.A parcel of air at point A would move toward the center of the low pressure area. That movement would take it farther away from the center of the disk and therefore it would move to the west. A parcel of air at B would move toward the center of the low pressure area which would also take it closer to the center of the spinning disk where its speed is greater than the surrounding points. It would appear to move to the east. With A moving to the west and B moving to the east the line from A to B is rotating counterclockwise.</span>

Phenol (C6H5OH) is often used as an antiseptic in mouthwashes and throat lozenges. If a mouthwash has a phenol concentration of
amm1812

Answer:

M=0.16M

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity is defined as moles of solute divided by liters of solution, since we have phenol with a molar mass of 94.12 g/mol, we can first compute the moles in 1.5 g of phenol:

n=1.5g*\frac{1mol}{94.12 g}=0.016mol

Next, since 1000 mL = 1 L, we notice that the volume of the solution is 0.100 L and therefore, the molarity of such solution turns out:

M=\frac{n}{V}=\frac{0.016mol}{0.100L}\\\\M=0.16M

Best regards!

When 1.00 g of boron is burned in o2(g) to form b2o3(s), enough heat is generated to raise the temperature of 733 g of water fro
Bas_tet [7]
<span>Answer: For this problem, you would need to know the specific heat of water, that is, the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree C. The formula is q = c X m X delta T, where q is the specific heat of water, m is the mass and delta T is the change in temperature. If we look up the specific heat of water, we find it is 4.184 J/(g X degree C). The temperature of the water went up 20 degrees. 4.184 x 713 x 20.0 = 59700 J to 3 significant digits, or 59.7 kJ. Now, that is the energy to form B2O3 from 1 gram of boron. If we want kJ/mole, we need to do a little more work. To find the number of moles of Boron contained in 1 gram, we need to know the gram atomic mass of Boron, which is 10.811. Dividing 1 gram of boron by 10.811 gives us .0925 moles of boron. Since it takes 2 moles of boron to make 1 mole B2O3, we would divide the number of moles of boron by two to get the number of moles of B2O3. .0925/2 = .0462 moles...so you would divide the energy in KJ by the number of moles to get KJ/mole. 59.7/.0462 = 1290 KJ/mole.</span>
