Draw all constitutional isomers with molecular formula c3h8o, and rank them in terms of increasing acidity:

Chemistry

Nookie1986 [14]2 years ago

There are only <em>three</em> constitutional isomers (see the image below).

Ethyl methyl ether is the least acidic because it has only C-H bonds. However, it should be more acidic than an alkane (pKₐ ≈ 50) because of the electron withdrawing effect of the O atom. I would expect it to have pKₐ ≈ 30.

The alcohols are <em>more acidic</em> because the O in the O- H bond is highly electron withdrawing. Alcohols typically have pKₐ ≈ 17.

Alkyl groups are electron-donating. This increases electron density in the OH bond and makes the acid weaker. Propan-2-ol has two methyl groups on the α-carbon, while propan-1-ol has one ethyl group. Thus propan-2-ol should be a <em>slightly weaker</em> acid than propan-1-ol.

What is the unit for volume?
kondaur [170]

The answer is volume because The base units of length and volume are linked in the metric system. By definition, a liter is equal to the volume of a cube exactly 10 cm tall, 10 cm long, and 10 cm wide. Because the volume of this cube is 1000 cubic centimeters and a liter contains 1000 milliliters, 1 milliliter is equivalent to 1 cubic centimeter.

Hope this helps :)

How is calculating a weighted average
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The Key difference between average vs weighted average is that simple average is nothing but simply adding up all the observation values and dividing the same by the total number of observations to calculate the average whereas weighted average is an average where each observation value will have a frequency assigned.
