Ethyl Butanoate when treated with a base looses a proton which is more acidic in nature. In this case ethyl butanoate acts as a lowery bronsted acid. It donated the more acidic proton to lowery bronsted base.

Among the protons attached to different carbon atoms the hydrogen atoms next to carbonyl functional group (labelled as red in attached picture) are more acidic in nature and are readily donated on treatment with strong base. These hydrogen atoms are also called alpha hydrogen name after their position.

Acidity of Alpha Hydrogens:

The driving force behind the acidity of alpha hydrogens is the formation of enolates. The enolate formed is resonance stabilized. This stability is the main reason for the said acidity. The pKa value of said protons is approximately 20-25. Hence, the enolate formed is infact the conjugate base and can act as neucleophile.

What is the similarities of freezing of water and electrolysis of water​
erastova [34]

Answer:

Electrolysis of water is the process of using electricity to decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas released in this way can be used as hydrogen fuel, or remixed with the oxygen to create oxyhydrogen gas, which is used in welding and other applications.Ordinarily, the freezing point of water and melting point is 0 °C or 32 °F. The temperature may be lower if supercooling occurs or if there are impurities present in the water which could cause freezing point depression to occur. Under certain conditions, water may remain a liquid as cold as -40 to -42°

These substances are all ____. H2O2 Li NaCl O2
Bogdan [553]

Answer: pure substances.


Explanation:


The given substances are:

  • H₂O₂
  • Li
  • NaCl
  • O₂

All what surrounds us, which has mass and occupies spaces, is matter. There are two kind of matter: pure substances and mixtures.


Pure substances have a uniform and constant composition. On the other hand, mixtures are combinations of two or more pure substances in  any arbitratry ratio.


Pure substances may be elements or compounds. The elements are the substances conmposed by one only kind of atom. In the list of substances given, Li and O₂ are elements: all the atoms in Li are lithium, and all the atoms in O₂ are oxygen atoms.


Compounds are the chemical combination of two or more different kind of atoms. In the given list H₂O₂ and NaCl are compounds. As you see, H₂O₂ contains atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, chemically bonded, in a fixed ratio (2 atoms of hydrogen by 2 atoms of oxygen). And NaCl has atoms of Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine), chemicaly bonded, in a fixed ratio (1:1).


There are only 118 known elements and you can find them in any modern periodic table. Therer are virtually infinitely many compounds since many different combinations of the elements can be attained.


Elements and compounds have in common that they are classified as pure substances.

Write the difference between isomerism and allotropy with one example each.
fredd [130]

Answer:

hope it helps ..

Explanation:

Allotropes can be defined as different types of compounds made out of the same single element but in different chemical formulas and different arrangements. Isomers can be defined as the chemical compounds that have a similar molecular formula but with different structural formulae. Graphite and Diamond.
