Answer is (4) - Pb.

According to the reactivity series of elements

- the elements which are above the hydrogen are more reactive than hydrogen.

- the elements which are below the hydrogen are less reactive than hydrogen.

Among the given choices, only Pb is placed above the hydrogen in the reactivity series and rest are below the hydrogen.

Hence, Pb is more active than hydrogen.

Rank the compounds in each set in order of increasing acid strength.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember the effect of an atom with high electronegativity as "Br". If the "Br" atom is closer to the carboxylic acid group (COOH) we will have an inductive effect. Due to the electronegativity of Br, the electrons of the C-H bond would be to the Br, then this bond would be weaker and the compound will be more acid (because is easier to produce the hydronium ion $H^+$ ).

With this in mind, for A in the last compound, we have 2 Br atoms near to the acid carboxylic group, so, we will have a high inductive effect, then the C-H would be weaker and we will have more acidity. Then we will have the compound with only 1 Br atom and finally, the last compound would be the one without Br atoms.

In B, the difference between the molecules is the position of the "Br" atom in the molecule. If the Br atom is closer to the acid group we will have a higher inductive effect and more acidity.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

The melting point of the metal potassium is 63.5c, while that of titanium is 1660c. what explanation can be given for this great

kiruha [24]

The melting point of potassium = $63.5^{0}C$

Melting point of titanium = $1660^{0}C$

Titanium has a stronger metallic bonding compared to potassium. Titanium being a transition metal has greater number of valence electrons (4 valence electrons) contributing to the valence electron sea compared to potassium which has only one valence electron. The atomic size of Titanium much lower than that of potassium, so the bonding between Titanium atoms is stronger than that of potassium. Hence, the melting point of Titanium is much higher than that of potassium.
