Answer:

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

Explanation:

Primary alcohols are stronger acids than secondary alcohols which are stronger than tertiary alcohols.

This trend is so because of the stability of the alkoxide ion formed(stabilising the base, increases the acidity). A more stabilised alkoxide ion is a weaker conjugate base (dissociation of an acid in water).

By electronic factors, When there are alkyl groups donating electrons, the density of electrons on th O- will increase a d thereby make it less stable.

By stearic factors, More alkyl group bonded to the -OH would mean the bulkier the alkoxide ion which would be harder to stabilise.

Down the group of the periodic table, basicity (metallic character) decreases as we go from F– to Cl– to Br– to I– because that negative charge is being spread out over a larger volume that is electronegativity decreases down the group.

Electronegative atoms give rise to inductive effect and a decrease in indutive effects leads to a decrease in acidity. Therefore an Increasing distance from the -OH group lsads to a decrease in acidity.

From above,

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

Consider two gases, A and B, are in a container at room temperature.
suter [353]
The rate of reaction would increase because as pressure increases the molecules are more likely to bump into each other leading to a more likely hood of the molecules colliding properly to react leading to an increase in the reaction rate of the substance.

Answer:

Option C

CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH

Explanation:

Carbonxylic acids are compounds which has the general formula

R–COOH where R is an alkyl group.

Considering the options given in the question above,

For A:

CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ is an ether compound with general formula ROR' where R and R' are both alkyl group.

For B:

CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH is an alcohol with general formula ROH where R is an alkyl group.

For C:

CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH is a carbonxylic acid with general formula R–COOH where R is an alkyl group.

For D:

CH₃CH₂C=OCH₂CH₃ is a ketone compound with general formula RC=OR' where R and R' are both alkyl group

For E:

ClCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂Br is simply an Alkyl halide with general formula XRX where X is an halogen (i.e F, Cl, Br or I) and R is an alkyl group.

From the above illustration, only option C contains a Carbonxylic compound.

When gases dissolve in gases or when liquids and gases dissolve in liquids, _________eventually spreads the particles evenly thr
natulia [17]

When gases dissolve in gases or when liquids and gases dissolve in liquids, particles movement eventually spreads the particles evenly throughout the solvent resulting in a homogeneous mixture.​

Explanation:

When gases dissolve in gases or when liquids and gases dissolve in liquids, particle movement eventually spreads the particles evenly throughout the solvent resulting in a homogeneous mixture.​

Solid particles do not dissolve easily like liquids and gases dissolve. Solid particles when dissolved in solid the particles moves very little. After getting heated and becomes molten then they get mixed.

But in the liquids and gases atoms moves and the particles get eventually spread and also get mixed after cooled.
