  • A specific state which is defined being a property without the path taken to achieve that state based on it, is understood as a state function. 
  • While the functions whose value is based on the direction taken among two states are named direction or path functions, on the other hand.
  • The system's thermodynamic condition relates to the current material in temperature, pressure and quantity.
  • State functions rely only on certain requirements and not on how they have been achieved. State functions for an instance, involve entropy, density, enthalpy and internal energy.
  • They are known as state functions as they quantitatively define a thermodynamic system's equilibrium condition, regardless of how the system landed in that condition.

Predict which member of each pair will be more acidic. Explain your answers. (a) methanol or tert-butyl alcohol (b) 2-chloroprop
Art [367]

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

When chlorine and magnesium react chemically, how many chlorine atoms will combine with one magnesium atom?
Lesechka [4]
Magnesium is divalent. This means that one magnesium atom needs to lose 2 electrons in order to become stable.

Chlorine, on the other hand, is monovalent. This means that one chlorine atom needs to gain one electron in order to become stable.

Based on this, one magnesium atom will combine with two chlorine atoms, where the magnesium loses two electrons, one for each chlorine.

The formula of the compound formed is: MgCl2

How many moles of ammonia (nh3 will be produced from 4.0 moles of nitrogen (n2?
Lana71 [14]
Standard equation would be N2(g)+3H2(g)==>2NH3(g), so through stoichiometry, (4 mol N2)(2mol NH3/1 mol N2), assuming excess H2, would yield 8 moles of NH3.
