Phenol, c6h5oh, is a stronger acid than methanol, ch3oh, even though both contain an o]h bond. Draw the structures of the anions

resulting from loss of h1 from phenol and methanol, and use resonance structures to explain the difference in acidity.

In resonance structures, the chemical connectivity in the molecule is same but the distribution of electrons are different around the structure.  They are created by moving electrons in double or triple bonds, and not atoms.

Phenol, C_6H_5OH and methanol, CH_3OH both are alcohols  that contain an -OH group attached to carbon atom.

Due to loss of 1 H from phenol, it forms phenoxide anion and due to presence of double bond in the benzene ring the negative charge on the oxygen atom (which represents electrons) will resonate with double bonds of benzene ring as shown in the image. The resonance-stabilized phenoxide ion is more stable. Whereas when methanol lose 1 H it forms methoxide anion and there are no such electrons present in the structure of methoxide that will result in the movement of electron. Since, due to resonance-stabilized phenoxide ion is more stable than methoxide ion, so it is a stronger acid.

The structures of the anions resulting from loss of 1 H from phenol and methanol is shown in the image.

Two tons of water is pumped into a tank 15 ft. High in 5 minutes. Determine the power output of the pump. (Note: One ton is equa
Semmy [17]

Answer:

200 lb•ft/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 2 tons

Time (t) = 5 mins

Height (h) = 15 ft

Power (P) =?

Next, we shall convert 2 tons to pound. This can be obtained as follow:

1 ton = 2000 lb

Therefore,

2 tons = 2 × 2000

2 tons = 4000 lb

Next, we shall convert 5 mins to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:

1 min = 60 s

Therefore,

5 mins = 5 × 60

5 mins = 300 s

Finally, we shall determine the power of the pump. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 4000 lb

Time (t) = 300 s

Height (h) = 15 ft

Power (P) =?

P = F × h / t

P = 4000 × 15 / 300

P = 60000 / 300

P = 200 lb•ft/s

Thus, the power of the pump is 200 lb•ft/s

Do non metals have lower melting points than metals?
yarga [219]

Yes,according to healthline.com non metals have lower melting points than metals.See metal is extremely hard to melt that would need very hot fire or lava,lava preferbally.So yes non metals have lower melting points than metals.

Hope this helps!Branliest would be appreciated:D

How much heat does it take to melt 5.0g solid copper?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Q=1.04kJ

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for latent heat (phase change) we need to consider the enthalpy associated with the involved process, here, melting or fusion; thus, the enthalpy of fusion of copper is 13.2 kJ/mol, therefore, the heat is computed as:

Q=m\Delta H_{fus}

Nevertheless, since the given enthalpy is per mole of copper, we need to use its atomic mass to perform the correct calculation as follows:

Q=5.0g*\frac{1mol}{63.54}* 13.2\frac{kJ}{mol}\\ \\Q=1.04kJ

Which is positive as it needs to be supplied to the system.

Best regards.
