Answer: CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂COOH > ClCH₂CH₂COOH  > ClCH₂COOH

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

Answer:

cylinder A has a higher density then cylinder B or more accurately the liquid in cylinder A is denser then the liquid in the second tube.

Explanation:

"Denser" simply means more matter is contained in the same space for example say you fill a tank with helium and another tank with water. Although they are the same size one will weigh much more because their is more particles or "stuff" inside the same area this can be because of a few things one it can be because the atoms or elements that compose the substance are heavier containing more electrons and protons in their orbit. or the molecular structure is more compact like a chicken wire fence has more wire in it then a barbed wire wire fence covering the same area because of the grid of wire in the middle.
