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.

What is the decay mode of radium-226?
inn [45]

Answer:

Radium-226 is a radioactive decay product in the uranium-238 decay series and is the precursor of radon-222. Radium-228 is a radioactive decay product in the thorium-232 decay series. Both isotopes give rise to many additional short-lived radionuclides, resulting in a wide spectrum of alpha, beta and gamma radiations.

What patterns in the rock layer fossils helped you identify an extinction?
Dafna11 [192]
Often, the rock layers bookending the mass extinction are noticeably different in their compositions. These changes in the rocks show the effects of environmental disturbances that triggered the mass extinction and sometimes hint at the catastrophic cause of the extinction

Balance this equation: Al+ HNO3 ---- H2 + Al(NO3)3​
romanna [79]

Answer:

2Al+ 6HNO3 ---- 3H2 + 2Al(NO3)3​

Explanation:

Put coefficient a,b,c, and d for calculation:

a Al + b HNO3 = c H2 + d Al(NO3)3

for Al: a = d

for H: b = 2c

for N: b = 3d

for O: 3b = 9d

Suppose a=1, then d=1, b=3, c=3/2

multiply 2 to make all natural number, a=2, then b=6, c=3, d=2

What is the net ion charge of Beryllium?​
KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Beryllium is a group 2 element and its atomic number is 4. Electronic configuration of beryllium is 1s^{2}2s^{2}.

Since, a beryllium contains two valence electrons so, in order to attain stability it will readily lose its 2 valence electrons.

Therefore, a beryllium atom upon losing two valence electrons will acquire a +2 charge.

Thus, we can conclude that the net ion charge of Beryllium is +2.
