Propanoic acid (propionic acid) has the formula CH3CH2COOH. Draw the conjugate base, that is, the structure that results from de
protonation. Include all hydrogen atoms and any appropriate formal charges.
1 answer:
Answer:
Conjugate base: Propionate
Explanation:
- Conjugate base contains one less proton as compared to it's parent acid. Deprotonation occurs from most acidic region.
- Propionic acid deprotonates to produce it's strong conjugate base propionate.
- In propionic acid, -OH group in -COOH functional moiety dissociates to produce
. Because the O-H bond electrons remains highly polarized towards oxygen atom due to electron withdrawing inductive effect as well as resonating effect of -COOH moiety.
- Structure of conjugate base has been shown below.

- Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
86.34 g CO₂
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversion</u>
Avogadro's Number
Molar Mass of C - 12.01 g/mol
Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of CO₂ - 12.01 + 2(16.00) = 44.01 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Convert</u>
<u /> = 1.18141 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂
