Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Benzoic acid is formed . In any alkyl benzene derivative , potassium permanganate reacts to form carboxylic acid . It oxidises side chains to carboxylic acid .

C₆H₅CH₃ + 0 = C₆H₅COOH + H₂O

O is provided by KMnO₄

b ) In this reaction isophthalic acid is formed .

C₆H₄(CH₃)₂ +O = C₆H₄(COOH)₂

4-Propyl-3-t-butyltoluene

In this oxidation , three side chains of ring are 1 ) 1-methyl 2 ) 3- butyl 3 ) 4 propyl .

The methyl and 4 - propyl groups are oxidised to di- carboxylic acid and 3 butyl group remains intact ( unoxidised )

What is the percent composition of the u.s quarter, which has the mass of 5.670g

Vitek1552 [10]

The percent composition of each element can be calculated as follows:
% composition = (mass of element / total mass) * 100

The total mass of the quarter is given to be 5.670 grams
Mass of Cu = 5.198 grams
Mass of Ni = 0.472 grams

Substitute in the above equation to get the mass percentage of each element as follows:
% of Cu = (5.198/5.670) * 100 = 91.675%
% of Ni = (0.472/5.670) * 100 = 8.325%

Answer:

Phenols do not exhibit the same pka values as other alcohols;

They are generally more acidic.

Using the knowledge that hydrogen acidity is directly related to the stability of the anion formed, explain why phenol is more acidic than cyclohexane.

Explanation:

According to Bromsted=Lowry acid-base theory,

an acid is a substance that can release $H^{+}$ ions when dissolved in water.

So, acid is a proton donor.

If the conjugate base of an acid is more stable then, that acid is a strong acid.

In the case of phenol,

the phenoxide ion formed is stabilized by resonance.

$C_6H_5OH -> C_6H_5O^- +H^+$

The resonance in phenoxide ion is shown below:

Whereas in the case of cyclohexanol resonance is not possible.

So, cyclohexanol is a weak acid compared to phenol.
