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

Ammonia undergoes combustion with oxygen to produce nitric oxide and water. The volume of the oxygen required to react with 720 ml of ammonia is 900 ml.
<h3>What is volume?</h3>Volume is the area occupied by the substance and is the ratio of the mass to the density.
At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume
Given,
Volume of ammonia reacted = 0.720 L
The combustion reaction is shown as,
From the stoichiometry of the reaction, it can be said that,
L of ammonia reacts with
L of oxygen gas.
So, 0.720 L of ammonia will react with:
Therefore, the volume of oxygen required is 900 mL.
