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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aleks [24]4 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.

Draw the major resonance contributors for the enamine shown. do not draw resonance and curved arrows. include formal charges and
Makovka662 [10]

<em>Answer:</em>

There are two major resonance contributors for the en-amine. One contributor have no formal charges, only have one lone pair at N while the other one has positive and negative formal charges.

<em>Explanation:</em>

An en-amine is formed by the condensation reactions of aldehydes or ketone with secondary amine.

The contributor<em> </em>I have no formal charges. It has only one lone pair at Nitrogen atom.

The contributor II has +1 formal charges at N, and -1 formal charges at α Carbon.

Please see attachment. The resonance contributor are given.

Select the correct text in the passage.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Sustainable living is a lifestyle adopted by individuals or societies which is geared towards reducing the consumption of earths natural resources. The idea is to lower the carbon footprint by switching to sustainable modes of transport, living spaces, food consumption etc.

In the given passage, the sentences that describe sustainable living are:

1) 'I plan to buy a hybrid for better gas mileage': Since a hybrid is a combination of a petrol engine and an electric motor, it reduces the consumption of fuel and is more energy efficient.

2) 'I am able to carpool with a couple of friends from work' : Carpooling reduces the vehicles on road thereby reducing vehicle exhaust.

3) 'The architects received a LEED certification': LEED certified buildings are energy efficient constructions.

How many total atoms are in 0.560 g of P2O5
ioda

Answer:

16.499 × 10∧ 21 atoms

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of P2O5= 0.560 g

number of atoms= ?

first of all we will calculate the molar mass of P2O5:

P = 2×31 g/mol = 62 g/mol

O = 5× 16 = 80 g/mol

molar mass of P2O5 = 142 g/mol

Noe we will find the moles of 0.560 g P2O5:

moles = mass / molar mass

moles = 0.560 g/ 142 g/mol

moles = 0.0039 mol

now we will find the atoms present in 0.0039 moles:

0.0039 × 6.02 × 10∧ 23 molecules

2.357 × 10∧ 21 molecules

P2O5 consist of 7 atoms:

2.357 × 10∧ 21  × 7 = 16.499 × 10∧ 21 atoms
