Why are carboxylic acids more acidic than alcohols or alkynes? (choose all that apply)

Chemistry
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answers are (A.) Carboxylate ions have resonance, while alkoxides and acetylides don't (D.) Both carboxylic acids and carboxylates have resonance stabilization

Explanation:

When alcohols or alkynes donate a proton (H+), they become alkoxides acetylides respectively. Carboxylic acids on the other hand form carboxylate ions.

Carboxylate ions are more stable than their alkoxide and acetylides counterparts, because they possess a resonance structure which disperses its negative charge and allows for the valence electrons to be effectively delocalized.

Hence, carboxylic are more acidic than alcohols or alkynes.

At 273 k and 1.00 x 10^-2 atm, the density of a gas is 1.24 x 10^-5 g/cm3.
bija089 [108]

Root mean square velocity is the square root of the mean of the squares of speeds of different molecules. From kinetic theory of gas, the formula of root mean square velocity=C_{rms}= √\frac{3RT}{M}=√\frac{3PV}{M}=√\frac{3P}{d}, where, R= Universal gas constant, T= Absolute temperature, P= Pressure, V= Volume of gas, d= Density of gas.

Given,  T=273 K, P=1.00 x 10⁻² atm, d=1.24 x 10⁻⁵ g/cm³.

(a) Using the formula C_{rms}=√\frac{3P}{d}=√(3X1.00X10⁻²)/(1.24X10⁻⁵)=49.18

(b) Molar mass can be determined by using the formula C_{rms}=√{3RT}{M}

49.18=√\frac{3X8.314X273}{M}

49.18²=√(3X8.314X273)/M

M=\frac{3X8.314X273}{49.18^{2} }

M=1.67 ≅ 2

Molecular mass is 2.

(c) The gas is Helium (He) whose molecular mass is 2.

How many Liters of space will a 70.0g sample of CO2 occupy?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

  35.6 liters at STP

Explanation:

The molar mass of carbon dioxide is about 44.01 g/mol. The volume of a mole of ideal gas at STP is 22.4 L, so the volume of 70.0 g will be ...

  (70.0g)/(44.01 g/mol)·(22.4 L/mol) ≈ 35.6 L
