In which of the following compounds does the carbonyl stretch in the IR spectrum occur at the lowest wavenumber?

Chemistry

Answer:

a. Cyclohexanone

Explanation:

The principle of IR technique is based on the <u>vibration of the bonds</u> by using the energy that is in this region of the electromagnetic spectrum. For each bond, there is <em>a specific energy that generates a specific vibration</em>. In this case, you want to study the vibration that is given in the carbonyl group C=O. Which is located around 1700 cm-1.

Now, we must remember that the <u>lower the wavenumber we will have less energy</u>. So, what we should look for in these molecules, is a carbonyl group in which less energy is needed to vibrate since we look for the molecule with a smaller wavenumber.

If we look at the structure of all the molecules we will find that in the last three we have <u>heteroatoms</u> (atoms different to carbon I hydrogen) on the right side of the carbonyl group. These atoms allow the production of <u>resonance structures</u> which makes the molecule more stable. If the molecule is more stable we will need more energy to make it vibrate and therefore greater wavenumbers.

The molecule that fulfills this condition is the <u>cyclohexanone.</u>

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Please help me with question 7. Thank you so much.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The system is not at equilibrium and the reaction will proceed to the left.

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

H₂(g) + CO₂(g) ⇄ CO(g) + H₂O(g)

Step 2: Calculate the reaction quotient (Q)

The reaction is calculated in the same way as the equilibrium constant (Kc) but it uses the concentrations at any time.

Q = [CO] × [H₂O] / [H₂] × [CO₂]

Q = 0.610 × 0.695 / 0.425 × 0.500 = 2.00

Since Q ≠ Kc, the reaction is not at equilibrium.

Since Q > Kc, the reaction will proceed to the left.

Describe and explain how the fractionating column is used to separate the mixture of hydrocarbon in crude oil ~ thank you
wolverine [178]

Answer:

heated crude oil enters a tall fractionating column , which is hot at the bottom and gets cooler towards the top. vapours from the oil rise through the column. vapours condense when they become cool enough. liquids are led out of the column at different heights.
