Answer:
CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂COOH > ClCH₂CH₂COOH > ClCH₂COOH
Explanation:
Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) increase acidity by inductive removal of electrons from the carboxyl group.
Electron-donating groups (EDGs) decrease acidity by inductive donation of electrons to the carboxyl group.
- The closer the substituent is to the carboxyl group, the greater is its effect.
- The more substituents, the greater the effect.
- The effect tails off rapidly and is almost zero after about three C-C bonds.
CH₃CH₂-CH₂COOH — EDG — weakest — pKₐ = 4.82
CH₃-CH₂COOH — reference — pKₐ = 4.75
ClCH₂-CH₂COOH — EWG on β-carbon— stronger — pKₐ = 4.00
ClCH₂COOH — EWG on α-carbon — strongest — pKₐ = 2.87
Scientific investigation: The process in which scientist solve the question by using different systematic approach. It can be initiated in different ways.
Experimental Scientific investigation: The investigation in which scientist answer the question on the basis of experimental results. Experimental investigation includes both dependent and independent variables, and only one variable is tested at a time is possible.
The best example of an experimental scientific investigation is: when we placed a whole apple and apple slice under sun, and noted down how many days it will take to rot in order to compare the break down of apple slice and whole apple.
Thus, option (B) is the correct answer.
Answer:
Start with the number of grams of each element, given in the problem. the mass of each element = the percent given. Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar mass from the periodic table. Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.
Question 5 is the second one.
It will be Solvent the term that would describe the alcohol will be solvent.
