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.

How many grams of carbonic acid were produced by the 3.00 g sample of NaHCO
stellarik [79]
I think the given is 3 g sample of NaHCO3. then if it will be reacted with an acid, it will produce H2CO3.
 so the reaction NaHCO3 + HCl --> NaCl + H2CO3

mas of H2CO3 = 3 g NaHCO3 ( 1 mol NaHCO3 / 84 g ) ( 1 mol H2CO3 / 1 mol NaHCO3) ( 62.03 g / 1 mol )
mass of H2CO3 = 2.22 g H2CO3

Fluorine (F) has seven electrons in its outermost shell. Fluorine _____.
kow [346]
Fluorine is a nonmetal and as such it would need to take in or obtain an electron from a metal to have a stable octet, or full number of 8 electrons in its valence shell. Thus due to the indifference of electrons and protons it becomes an anion, a negatively charged ion.
