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.

Answer:

Final pressure = 362.7 Pa

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 930 ml

Initial pressure P₁ = 156 Pa

Final volume, V₂ = 400 mL

We need to find the final pressure. We know that the relation between volume and pressure is inverse i.e.

V\propto \dfrac{1}{P}\\\\\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{V_1P_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{930\times 156}{400}\\\\P_2=362.7\ Pa

So, the final pressure is equal to 362.7 Pa.

A concept is the general idea of objects, events, animals, or people based on common features, traits, or characteristics. Pleas
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

This question is asking whether the statement is TRUE OR FALSE

THE ANSWER IS TRUE

Explanation:

A concept, as rightly defined, is the general idea of an entity, which can include objects, events, animals, or people based on common features, traits, or characteristics. Hence, the CONCEPT of something refers to a a generalized idea about that particular thing.

A concept in other words is our thought about something i.e. how we conceive or think that thing to be. Concept is a phenomenon of the "MIND" since it is abstract and cannot be seen. Based on this, the definition given in the question is TRUE.
