Which of the following lists describes characteristics of a base? (3 points)

Chemistry
1 answer:
mel-nik [20]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

slippery, high pH, and caustic (last option)

Explanation:

when we say base we should think soap. soap is slippery. Bases give OH- ion. when OH- is combined with H+ ion it will create water which raises the pH. Since base can dissolve fats, ex: using dish liquid to cut grease on pots and pans etc.. they are caustic. Biologically they can disrupt the cell memebrane making it caustic to cell tissue.

Arrange the following compounds in the order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic acyl substitution, with least reactive
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The correct order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic acyl substitution is E < D < C < A < F < B.

Explanation:

The stability of the leaving group best determines the manner of reactivity of carboxylates to nucleophilic substitution after the substitution of the nucleophile to the leaving group. The leaving group should, therefore, be protonated with hydrogen ion in the solution to form a stable molecule. From the given list: The leaving group for A, Ethyl thioacetate will be ethanethiol. For B, Acetyl chloride will be Hydrochloric acid. For C, Sodium acetate will be Sodium Hydroxide. For D, Ethyl acetate will be Ethanol. For E, Acetamide will be Ammonia, and for F, Acetic anhydride will be Ethanoic acid. The reactivity of the substitution reaction is dependent on the stability of these leaving groups. The stability of these leaving groups depends on their pKa, and the more the pKa, the lesser the acidity of the leaving group, and the lower the reactivity. Therefore, considering their pKa: A is 8.5, B is -7, C is 13.8, D is 15.9, E is 36, and F is 4.8. When we rearrange this pKa in descending order, we have E, D. C, A, F, B. Which is also the increased reactivity of the nucleophilic acyl substitution.

Give an example of a non-biological chemical reaction that involves carbon. Name the process that converts a solid compound into
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The process that converts a solid mcompound into a gas is sublimation.

E.g- dry ice, solid iodine and ammonium salts

when the above solid are heated, only particles which are found on the surface of the solid gain enough energy and break all forces of attraction and form a gas.

How many grams of Fe3O4 are required to react completely with 300 grams of H2?
vekshin1

Answer:

2023.04 g

Explanation:

Magnetite reacts with hydrogen to produce Iron metal and steam. Steam instead of water is produced as the reaction occurs at temperatures above the boiling point of water.

Fe₃O₄ + 4 H₂ → 3 Fe +4 H₂O

From the equation, 1 mole of Fe₃O₄ reacts with 4 moles of H₂.

69.76 grams of H₂ has the following number of moles.

Number of moles= mass/RAM

=69.76/2

=34.88 moles.

The reaction ratio of Fe₃O₄ to H₂ is 1:4

Thus number of moles of magnetite= (1×34.88)/4

=8.72 moles.

Mass= moles × molecular weight

=8.72 moles × (56×3+16×4)

=2023.04 grams
