Chemistry

muminat3 years ago

4 0

Explanation:

Over 99.9% percent of an atom's mass resides in the nucleus. The protons and neutrons in the center of the atom are about 2000 times heavier than the electrons orbiting around it.

Because the electrons are so light by comparison,they represent only a tiny fraction of a percent of the atom's total weight.

The carbon atoms of acetic acid (CH3COOH) exhibit what type of hybridization?

Liula [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D sp2 and sp3

Explanation:

Acetic acid is a weak acid containg 2 carbon atoms.the first carbon is joined to 3 hydrogen atoms by 3 covalent bonds and to the second carbo atom by one covalent bond.Therefore the first carbon of CH3COOH is sp3 hybridized.

Whereas the second carbon is joined to the first carbon by a covalent bond,the second carbon form a double bond with oxygen and thesecond carbon forms a covalent bond with the oxygen atom of -OH group of COOH moiety.Therefore the second carbon is sp2 hybridized.

Rank the following compounds in order of their reactivity toward nucleophilic acyl substitution. (Fastest first, slowest last) 2

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Trinitrobenzoic acid > para nitro benzoic acid>benzoic acid

Nulceophilic acyl Substitution increases by electron withdrawing group (NO2) more the no of withdrawing groups more the reactivity

Since withdrawing group increases positive charge hence nucleophilie readily reacts.

Acidity of Carboxylic acid is explained by inductive effect

Withdrawing group (halogen) increases the acidity and acidity decreases with increasing the distance between halogen and COOH group

And lower the acidity higher the pka and Vice-Versa.

Hence 2-Chlorobutanoic acid has lower pka and more acidic than 3-chloro and 4-chlorobutanoic acids
