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

Copper(II) carbonate undergoes thermal decomposition. One of the pro
Llana [10]

Answer: The green copper (II) carbonate (CuCO_3) changes to black copper oxide (CuO)

CuCO_3(s)\stackrel{\Delta }\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

Explanation:

Decomposition is defined as the chemical reaction in which a single compound gives two or more simple substances. It requires energy to break the bonds between reactants, thus is an endothermic process.

Thermal decomposition uses heat for decomposition.

The chemical equation for thermal decomposition of copper (II) carbonate is:

CuCO_3(s)\stackrel{\Delta }\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

The green copper (II) carbonate (CuCO_3) changes to black copper oxide (CuO)

IRINA_888 [86]

The first most obvious thing to note is when naming transitional metals, you have to state its charge with roman numerals (except for 1 if I remember correctly). For example, Iron (lll), iron has a charge of 3.

A piece of material with a mass of 755 g is heated to 84.5 c and added to 50 g of water at 5
lana [24]
Alright sorry you're getting the answer hours later, but i can help with this.
so you're looking for specific heat, the equation for it is <span>macaΔTa = - mbcbΔTb with object a and object b. that's mass of a times specific heat of a times final minus initial temperature of a equals -(mass of b times specific heat of b times final minus initial temperature of b)
</span>so putting in your values is, 755g * ca * (75 celsius - 84.5 celsius) = -(50g * cb * (75 celsius - 5 celsius))
well we know the specific heat of water is always 4180J/kg celsius, so put that in for cb
with a bit of simplification to the equation by doing everything on each side first you have, -7172.5 * ca = -14630000
divide both sides by -7172.5 so you can single out ca and you get, ca= 2039.74
add units for specific heat which are J/kg celsius and the specific heat of the material is 2039.74 J/kg celsius

What reaction might we use to synthesize nickel sulfate, NiSO4?
guapka [62]

As I understand from your question, we should synthesize nickel sulfate first from nickel (II) oxide and sulfuric acid and second from nickel carbonate and sulfuric acid.

The chemical reactions will look like this:

NiO (s) + H₂SO₄ (aq) → NiSO₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)

NiCO₃ (aq)* + H₂SO₄ → NiSO₄ (aq) + H₂CO₃ (aq)

but carbonic acid will decompose to carbon dioxide and water

H₂CO₃ (aq) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)

(*) NiCO₃ has a poor solubility in water, but enough to start the reaction.
