Why is a phenol more acidic than a regular alcohol? Group of answer choices

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aleks [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a.Phenols have the ability to spread out the negative charge that forms.

Explanation:

This happens because of  the aromatic ring the phenols have. When loosing the proton, the anion formed have different resonance isomers due to the double bonds in the aromatic ring. This resonance makes the anion more stable and prevents the reaction going backwards.

On the other hand, regular alcohol doesn't have resonace and the reaction of loosing the proton goes leftward and righward: is in equilibrium.

That equilibrium decreases the acidity of the alcohol.

Photochemical chlorination of 1,2-dibromoethane gives a mixture of two stereoisomers of C2H3Br2Cl. Write their structural formul
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Enantiomers

Chiral

Yes they will be formed in equal amount.

Explanation:

The Two possible stereo isomers are formed due to generation a chiral center in the molecule.

There will be a carbon with all the four groups different.

The two isomers will be called as enantiomers, which are non super-imposable mirror image of each other.

They are named as "R" or "S'" based on the selection rule.

The IUPAC names are also given in the figure.

The two isomers will be formed in equal amount as during photochemical chloriantion of a compound free radicals are generated (which are trigonal planar) and the other radical may attack from either side (front side or back side) giving the two stereo-isomers.
