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.

_Li + __F2 → _LIF<br> How do I balance this?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

 2Li   +   F₂    →    2LiF

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as:

          Li   +   F₂    →     LiF

We are to balance the expression. In that case, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression must be the same.

 Let use a mathematical approach to solve this problem;

  Assign variables a,b and c as the coefficients that will balance the expression:

             aLi   +  bF₂    →     cLiF

Conserving Li: a  = c

                   F:  2b  = c

          let a = 1, c  = 1 and b  = \frac{1}{2}  

  Multiply through by 2;

        a  = 2, b = 1 and c  = 2

               2Li   +   F₂    →    2LiF

Cooking in a microwave oven is possible because of

they channel heat energy directly to the molecules (tiny particles) inside food. Microwaves heat food like the sun heats your face—by radiation. A microwave is much like the electromagnetic waves that zap through the air from TV and radio transmitters
