1 answer:
Answer:
c. Compound 2 is more acidic because its conjugate base is more resonance stabilized
Explanation:
You haven't told us what the compounds are, so let's assume that the formula of Compound 1 is HCOCH₂OH and that of Compound 2 is CH₃COOH.
The conjugate base of 2 is CH₃COO⁻. It has two important resonance contributors, and the negative charge is evenly distributed between the two oxygen atoms.
CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇌ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺
The stabilization of the conjugate base pulls the position of equilibrium to the right, so the compound is more acidic than 1.

3.47 x atoms of gold have mass of 113.44 grams.
Explanation:
Data given:
number of atoms of gold = 3.47 x
mass of the gold in given number of atoms = ?
atomic mass of gold =196.96 grams/mole
Avagadro's number = 6.022 X
from the relation,
1 mole of element contains 6.022 x atoms.
so no of moles of gold given =
0.57 moles of gold.
from the relation:
number of moles =
rearranging the equation,
mass = number of moles x atomic mass
mass = 0.57 x 196.96
mass = 113.44 grams
thus, 3.47 x atoms of gold have mass of 113.44 grams
