Answer:

The four resonance structures of the phenoxide ion are shown in the image attached

The conjugate base of cyclohexanol has only one resonance contributor, while

the conjugate base of phenol has four resonance contributors.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, it is known that structures are more stable if they possess more resonance contributors. The greater the number of contributing canonical structures, the more stable the organic specie. Since the phenoxide ion has four contributing canonical structures, it is quite much more stable than cyclohexanol having only one contributing structure to its conjugate base. Hence the PKa(acid dissociation constant) of phenol is lesser than that of cyclohexanol. The conjugate base of phenol is stabilized by resonance.

A chemist prepares a solution of sodium thiosulfate (Na2S203) by measuring out 110.g of sodium thiosulfate into a 350. mL volume
forsale [732]

Answer:

1.99 M

Explanation:

The molar mass of sodium thiosulfate (solute) is 158.11 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 110 grams are:

110 g × (1 mol/158.11 g) = 0.696 mol

The volume of solution is 350 mL = 0.350 L.

The molarity of sodium thiosulfate is:

M = moles of solute / liters of solution

M = 0.696 mol / 0.350 L

M = 1.99 M

How did the work of Dmitri Mendeleev differ from that of John Newlands in the development of the periodic table?
alex41 [277]
When Newlands tried to create a periodic table, his tried to conform to the "Rule of Octaves" he had discovered. He had the right idea, in that if you arrange the elements by atomic weight there would be similarities every 7 elements (not 8 because noble gases hadn't been discovered yet) but he tried to push this rule so much that he would put multiple elements in the same box to try to keep the rule. Mendeleev, however, left gaps in this table for undiscovered elements, which paved the way for our modern periodic table.

How is an average mass different from a weighted mass
romanna [79]

In an average mass, each entry has equal weight. In a weighted average, we multiply each entry by a number representing its relative importance.

Assume that your class consists of 15 girls and 5 boys. Each girl has a mass of 54 kg, and each boy has a mass of 62 kg.

<em>Average mass</em> = (girl + boy)/2 = (54 kg + 62 kg)/2 = <em>58 kg</em>

<em>Weighted average (Method 1) </em>

Use the <em>numbers of each</em> gender (15 girls + 5 boys) ,

Weighted average = (15×54 kg + 5×62 kg)/20 = (810 kg + 310 kg)/20

= 1120 kg/20 = <em>56 kg</em>.

If you put all the students on one giant balance, their total mass would be

1120 kg and the average mass of a student would be <em>56 kg. </em>

<em>Weighted average (Method 2) </em>

Use the <em>relative percentages</em> of each gender (75 % girls and 25 % boys).

Weighted average = 0.75×54 kg + 0.25×62 kg = 40.5 kg + 15.5 kg = <em>56 kg</em>

Each girl contributes 40.5 kg and each boy contributes 15.5 kg to the <em>weighted average</em> mass of a student.
