Rank the following compounds in order of reactivity toward nitration with HNO3:_______. thiophene, benzene, 3-methylthiophene, a

nd 2-methylfuran.
Chemistry

siniylev [52]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

3-methylthiophene > thiophene > benzene > 2-methylfuran

Explanation:

Primarily, five membered heterocyclic aromatic rings undergo nitration at carbon-2. This is because, nitration at carbon-2 leads to the formation of three resonance structures while attack at carbon-3 yields only two resonance structures, hence it is less stabilized.

The presence of a methyl group which donates electrons promotes the stabilization of the cation formed in the nitration of 3-methylthiophene.

2-methylfuran is the least reactive towards nitration because the 2-position has been blocked by a methyl group.

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, how much water is produced if 22.5 g of
nadezda [96]

Answer: The amount of water produced is 9.3 grams

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

mass of reactants = mass of methane + mass of oxygen = 22.5 g + 35.7 g = 58.2 g

mass of products = mass of carbon dioxide + mass of water = 48.9 g +  mass of water

48.9 g +  mass of water = 58.2 g

mass of water = 9.3 g
