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.

What is the molecular geometry if you have 3 single bonds and 1 lone pair around the central atom?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

There are 2 double bond units and 1 lone pair, which will try to get as far apart as possible - taking up a trigonal planar arrangement. Because the lone pair isn't counted when you describe the shape, SO2 is described as bent or V-shaped.

Which of the following characteristics do Element I and Element I have in common?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Option C. The same number of energy levels.

Explanation:

From the diagram given above, element (i) belong to group 2 while element (ii) belong to group 6.

Also, both element i and ii belong to the same period (i.e period 4). This simply means that both element i and ii have the same number of energy levels.

NOTE: Elements in the same period have the same number of shells of electrons which simply means they have the same energy levels.

What is the density of an object if its mass is 10 g and a volume of 2 mL?
Lilit [14]

Hi there! Let's solve this problem shall we!

⠀Volume = 10g

      Mass = 2 mL

In this specific problem, they are asking us to find the <u><em>density </em></u>of the object. So,<u><em> using the information given to us</em></u> (volume and mass), let's solve the problem!

Now, if you remember, D = M ÷ V

So, let's fill in the blanks!

D = Our unknown value

M = 2mL

V = 10g

Here is the filled out formula:

D = M ÷ V

D = 2mL ÷ 10g

D = 5 g/mL

*Make sure you put the units for your final solution!*

8.310x10^2 – 7.210x10^1<br><br>[?]x10^[?]​
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

7.589\times 10^{2}

Explanation:

The expression can be solved mathematically as follows:

1) 8.310\times 10^{2}-7.210\times 10^{1} Given

2) 8.310\times 10^{1+1} - 7.210\times 10^{1} Definition of sum

3) (8.310\times 10^{1})\times 10^{1}-7.210\times 10^{1} a^{m+n} = a^{m}\cdot a^{n}/Associative property

4) (8.310\times 10^{1}-7.210)\times 10^{1} Distributive property

5) (83.100-7.210)\times 10^{1} Multiplication

6) 75.89\times 10^{1} Subtraction.

7) (7.589\times 10^{1})\times 10^{1} Multiplication/Associative property

8) 7.589\times (10^{1}\times 10^{1}) Associative property

9) 7.589\times 10^{2} a^{m+n} = a^{m}\cdot a^{n}/Result
