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

Chemistry

klio [65]3 years ago
4 0

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!

7.5 moles of nitrogen gas (N2) is formed in the following reaction. How many grams
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Mass = 255 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of nitrogen = 7.5 mol

Mass of ammonia formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3H₂ + N₂      →    2NH₃

Now we will compare the moles of nitrogen and ammonia.

             N₂         :        NH₃

               1          :         2

              7.5       :       2/1×7.5 = 15

Mass of ammonia:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 15 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 255 g

Forces that change an object motion by touching the object are _______ forces
strojnjashka [21]

Forces are pushes and pulls that may change the motion of an object. Balanced forces result in an object remaining at rest or moving at a constant speed. Unbalanced forces result in the acceleration of an object. An object's motion depends on how it changes position.

Choose the correct statement.
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

B) Cations lose electrons having a charge of positive.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, it is widely known that ions are classified as positive cations and negative anions, since the former is produced when a metal loses electrons and the latter when a nonmetal gains electrons; in such a way, the correct choice is:

B) Cations lose electrons having a charge of positive.

Best regards!
