How many resonance structures does aniline have after the first step of electrophilic aromatic substitution?
1 answer:
Answer:
Electrophilic aromatic substitution involves a process in an atom that is attached to an aromatic system is replaced by a electrophile. Electrophile is an electron pair acceptor. In the first step of electrophilic aromatic substitution of aniline, aniline has 3 resonance structures.
Explanation:
Aniline undergo a two step electrophilic aromatic substitution. The first step yields both ortho and para groups while the last yield a meta group.
In the first step, the amino group of aniline are strong activating group and ortho/para directing by resonance. This amino groups donates their unshared electrons to the pi-system creating a negative charge on the ortho and para positions. These positions are most reactive towards an electron-poor electrophile.
In the second step, the electrophilic aromatic substitution on aniline proceeds quite slowly to give an unexpected high yield of meta product.

Hi there!
We know that:
U = Potential Energy (J)
K = Kinetic Energy (J)
E = Total Energy (J)
At 10m, the total amount of energy is equivalent to:
U + K = 50 + 50 = 100 J
To find the highest point the object can travel, K = 0 J and U is at a maximum of 100 J, so:
100J = mgh
We know at 10m U = 50J, so we can solve for mass. Let g = 10 m/s².
50J = 10(10)m
m = 1/2 kg
Now, solve for height given that E = 100 J:
100J = 1/2(10)h
100J = 5h
<u>h = 20 meters</u>
