Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the ability of an atom or element to attract the electrons from another atom towards itself.

Non-metals are the species which are electronegative in nature. Whereas metals are the species which are electropositive in nature.

For example, F, l, Br and I are group 17 elements. These are electronegative in nature but their electronegativity decreases from fluorine to I.

Whereas Li, Na, K are alkali metals and most electropositive in nature.

Similarly, Be, Mg, Ca are group 2 elements and they are also electropositive in nature. When we move from top to bottom in a group then there is a decrease in electronegativity of the non-elements.

But when we move from left to right in a period then due to decrease in size of the atoms there will be increase in electronegativity of the atoms.

Thus, we can conclude that K, Ca, Sc list of elements is arranged in order of increasing electronegativity.

A monatomic ideal gas that is initially at 1.50 * 105 Pa and has a volume of 0.0800 m3 is compressed adiabatically to a volume o

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

300000Pa or 3×10^5 Pa

Explanation:

Since the problem involves only two parameters of volume and pressure, the formula for Boyle's law is suitably used.

Using Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 is the initial pressure = 1.5×10^5Pa

V1 is the initial volume = 0.08m3

P2 is the final pressure (required)

V2 is the final volume = 0.04 m3

From the formula, P2 = P1V1/V2

P2 = 1.5×10^5 × 0.08 ÷ 0.04

= 300000Pa or 3×10^5 Pa.

Can someone tell me how to differentiate if a given salt is acidic, basic, or neutral?

<h3>Basic Characteristic of acids </h3>

Acids are sour in taste
Acid turns blue litmus paper or solution into red litmus paper or solution
Acids are good conductor of electricity because it dissociate into cation in aqueous solution
Acids classified into edible acids and non edible acids. Non edible acids are very hazardous
Generally, All acids are soluble in water
Acids have PH smaller than 7

Arrhenius definition of acids :-

According to Arrehinus,

Acids are those substances which when dissolve in water given H positive ions . Then, this hydrogen ions combine with water to form H30 + ions

Second definition of Acids was given by Bonsted Lowry :-

According to Bonsted Lowry

Acids are the proton donors that is when acids dissociate into water gives hydrogen ions that is H+ ions

3rd definition was given by Lewis 

According to Lewis

Acids are those substances which have the ability to accept a pair of electrons .

Example of Acids

HNO3 :- Nitric acid
H2SO4 :- Sulfuric acid
HCl :- Hydrochloric acid

<h3>Basic characterists of bases </h3>

Bases are bitter in taste
Bases turns red litmus paper into blue litmus paper or solution
Bases are also good conductor of electricity because on dissociation it produces anion in aqueous solution
Bases are also good conductor of electricity
When bases are soluble in water then they are known as alkaline base
Bases have PH greater than 7

Arrehinus definition of bases :-

According to Arrehinus ,

Bases are those substances which when dissolve in water produce OH negative ions that is hydroxide ions

Bonsted Lowry definition 

According to Bonsted Lowry

Bases are the proton donors as they produce OH negative ions in dissociation in aqueous solution

Lewis definition 

According to Lewis

Acids are those substances which have the ability to lose electrons that is they are electron donors.

Example of bases

Ca(OH)2 :- Calcium hydroxide
NaOH :- Sodium hydroxide
KOH :- Potassium hydroxide

[ Note :- There are so many Lewis acids and bases but they are not Arrhenius or Lowry acids or bases ]

<h3>Basic characteristic of salt </h3>

Salts are the ionic compounds which are composed of acids and bases that cation and anion
Salts are generally found in oceans and seas in the forms of crystals
As they are composed of acids and bases so they are neutral in nature but the salt of strong acid or weak base is acidic in nature or vice versa
Salts are also good conductor of electricity as they form ionic bond
Generally, All salts are soluble in water.
The PH of common Salt is 7

Example of salts

NH4Cl :- Ammonium chloride
CuSO4 :- Copper sulphate
NaCl :- Sodium chloride

The aldol reaction is catalyzed by acid as well as base. What is the reactive nucleophile in the acid-catalyzed aldol reaction

svp [43]

Answer:

The reactive nucleophile is Ketone.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, The process of acid - catalyzed aldol condensation starts from when ketone (or any aldehyde) is converted to an -enol, after which it attacks another ketone/aldehyde that has already been activated by parbonyl oxygen protonation.

The process of this is that first of all the ketone undergoes tautomerization to form -enol. Thereafter, the other carbonyl will undergo protonation which makes the carbon activated towards attack. Now, the nucleophilic enol will be added to the carbonyl in a [1,2]-addition reaction and we will now use deprotonation to obtain the neutral Aldol product.

Now, since only the ketone can produce an -enol, thus it is the nucleophile as aldehydes are better electrophiles
