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

Chemistry

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.

How many moles of FeCl3 could be produced from 6.1 moles of Cly? 2 Fe + 3Cl2 —> 2 FeCl2

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

4.1 moles of FeCl₃

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as shown below:

2Fe + 3Cl₂ → 2FeCl₃

Number of moles of Cl₂ = 6.1moles

So;

We know that from the balanced reaction expression:

3 moles of Cl₂ will produce 2 moles of FeCl₃

Therefore 6.1moles of Cl₂ will produce $\frac{6.1 x 2}{3}$ = 4.1 moles of FeCl₃

The number of moles is 4.1 moles of FeCl₃

Calculate the energy required to heat 406.0mg of cyclohexane from 33.5°C to 38.9°C . Assume the specific heat capacity of cycloh

N76 [4]

Answer:

Q = 4.056 J

Explanation:

Q = mCΔT

∴ m = 406.0 mg = 0.406 g

∴ C = 1.85 J/g.K

∴ T1 = 33.5°C ≅ 306.5 K

∴ T2 = 38.9°C = 311.9 K

⇒ ΔT = 311.9 - 306.5 = 5.4 K

⇒ Q = (0.406 g)(1.85 J/gK)(5.4 K)

⇒ Q = 4.056 J
