Answer:

Conjugate base of naphthol is highly stable but conjugate base of ethanol is unstable.

Explanation:

Naphthol gives acid base reaction with NaOH where naphthol acts as an acid and NaOH as a base.

Reactivity of naphthol towards NaOH is quite high because the conjugate base of naphthol is highly stable. Stability of the conjugate base arises due to delocalization of negative charge on oxygen atom into aromatic naphthalene ring.

Ethanol is not so reactive towards NaOH because the ethoxide ion is highly unstable due to lack of delocalization of negative charge on oxygen atom.

Resonance structures of conjugate base of naphthol has been shown below.

A sheet of gold weighing 8.8 g and at a temperature of 10.5°C is placed flat on a sheet of iron weighing 19.5 g and at a tempera
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

T = 36.393\,^{\textdegree}C

Explanation:

The contact between the sheet of gold and the sheet of iron allows a heat transfer until thermal equilibrium is done, which means that both sheets have the same temperature:

-Q_{iron} = Q_{gold}

-(0.008\,kg)\cdot (452\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-54.4\,^{\textdegree}C) = (0.0195\,kg)\cdot (129\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-10.5\,^{\textdegree}C)

-(3.616\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C})\cdot (T-54.4\,^{\textdegree}C) = (2.515\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C})\cdot (T-10.5^{\textdegree}C)

-1.438\cdot (T - 54.4^{\textdegree}C) = T-10.5^{\textdegree}C

-1.438\cdot T +78.227^{\textdegree}C = T - 10.5^{\textdegree}C

2.438\cdot T = 88.727\,^{\textdegree}C

The final temperature is:

T = 36.393\,^{\textdegree}C

EXPLAIN How would you explain the difference between single displacement and
IrinaK [193]
  • The difference between single displacement reaction and double displacement reaction are:

Explanation:

in the chemical reaction an atom in a molecule is replaced by another atom forming the end product .this type of chemical reaction involved only two reactants for example zinc + copper sulphate give us copper sulphate + copper.double displacement reaction is the reaction in which two compounds react together to form two other compounds by mutual exchange of other ions is called double displacement reaction.this type of reaction is involved two or more than two reactants.for example AG and O3 + NaCl give us agcl + nano3

Question 5
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

any object that is larger will take a longer time to do things, the same applies to heat levels. The lower the heat, the longer it takes, the higher the heat, the shorter it takes. So if an iceberg is large, it will need a higher heat, whereas an ice cube is really small and doesn't need that much heat to melt.

If an atom has 35 protons in the nucleus, how many will it have orbiting nucleus
yan [13]
It will have 35 ''electrons'' . Basically the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is always equal to the number of electrons but its just that protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.  <span />

Valence Bond theory predicts that tin will use what hybrid orbitals in Snf5 -1​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

sp3d

Explanation:

The ground state electronic configuration of tin is written as; [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p². Hybridization is a concept used to explain the combination of orbitals of appropriate energy to produce suitable orbitals that could be used for bonding.

In forming the compound Snf5^ -1, we have to hybridize the following orbitals on tin; 5p, 5d and 6s orbitals. This gives us a set of sp3d hybrid  hence the answer.
