We have to determine if the given compound is soluble or insoluble in water.

The given compound is copper (II) hydroxide, $Cu(OH)_{2}$ . According to the solubility rules the hydroxides of all metal ions are insoluble except that of ammonium and the alkali metal ions. So copper(II) hydroxide will be insoluble in water. In aqueous solution, copper (II) hydroxide would exist as a sparingly soluble compound in which the undissociated compound remains in equilibrium with the ions $Cu^{2+}$ and $OH^{-}$ . The equilibrium would remain mostly towards undissociated form.

$Cu(OH)_{2}(s)Cu^{2+}(aq)+2OH^{-}(aq)$

Therefore, $Cu(OH)_{2}$ is insoluble in water.

K for enolization of 2,4-cyclohexadienone is about 1013. Explain why the enol is so much more stable than the keto tautomer.

torisob [31]

Answer:

Because the value of K is huge.

Explanation:

The tautomer is a kind of isomer in which exist an equilibrium between a ketone and an enol, or between an aldehyde and an enol. So, in the enolization, the ketone is the reactant and the enol is the product.

The equilibrium reaction can be characterized by an equilibrium constant, which is the ratio of the concentration of the products by the concentration of the reactants.

Because the constant K is extremely large (10¹³) we can conclude that the concentration of the product will be greater than the concentration of the reactant, in the equilibrium. It means that the concentration of the enol will be greater.

So, the ketone is unstable and forms in a great amount the more stable product, the enol.

In AG calculations, temperature is expressed in a. degrees Celsius. b. kelvins. c. degrees Fahrenheit, d. kilojoules.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The correct option is: a. degrees Celsius

Explanation:

The anion gap is the difference in the cations and anions in plasma, serum or urine, calculated from medical lab test results. It can be calculated by measuring the concentration of the anions or cations, which are expressed in millimoles/litre (mmol/L) or milliequivalents/liter (mEq/L).

The temperature in this test is expressed in degrees Celsius (°C).

a compound has a molar mass of 129 g/mol if its empirical formula is C2H5N then what is the molecular formula

Elena-2011 [213]

Given :

A compound has a molar mass of 129 g/mol .

Empirical formula of compound is C₂H₅N .

To Find :

The molecular formula of the compound.

Solution :

Empirical mass of compound :

$M_e = ( 2 \times 12 ) + ( 5 \times 1 ) + ( 1 \times 14 )\\\\M_e = 43\ gram/mol$

Now, n-factor is :

$n = \dfrac{M}{M_e}\\\\n = \dfrac{129}{43}\\\\n = 3$

Multiplying each atom in the formula by 3 , we get :

Molecular Formula, C₆H₁₅N₃
