How and why does 2-Naphthol differ from benzoic acid when adding NaHCO3

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ivahew [28]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

2-naphtol is a weak acid and benzoic acid is a stronger acid. NaHCO3 is a weak base, that will only react with a strong acid like benzoic acid. 2-napthol is not soluble in sodium bicarbonate.

Explanation:

2-naphtol is a phenol. Phenol is made of a benzene attached to an OH group. So, it is a (big) organic molecule, and a little non-polar group. The conjugated (or non-localised) electrons in the benzene ring pull electrons away from the OH group. It makes it harder for the oxygen to steal the hydrogen's electrons and become O-.

A phenol is acidic in nature because of this H+ releasing. This will result in forming a phenoxide.

Benzoic acid is a carboxylic acid and is more acidic than a phenol. Since it's acid it will also release H+ ion, in this case to form carboxylate which is more stable than phenoxide.  The phenoxide is resonance stabilised.

The negative charge , in carboxylate, is delecoalised on the negatively charged O atom what makes it more stable than phenoxide. Compared to carboxylic acid.  ( or benzoic acid) phenol ( or 2-naphtol) is a weak acid.

NaHCO3 is a weak base and will only react with a strong acid like carboxylic acid. A naphtol is not strong enough to react with the weak base NaHCO3.

This means 2-naphtol is a weak acid and benzoic acid is a stronger acid. NaHCO3 is a weak base, that will only react with a strong acid like benzoic acid. 2-napthol is not soluble in sodium bicarbonate.

What volume of a 2.25 M sodium chloride solution will contain 4.58 moles of sodium chloride
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Option E. 2.04 L

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Molarity of NaCl = 2.25 M

Mole of NaCl = 4.58 moles

Volume =..?

Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of the solution. It is represented mathematically as:

Molarity = mole /Volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the volume of the solution as follow:

Molarity = mole /Volume

2.25 = 4.58/volume

Cross multiply

2.25 x volume = 4.58

Divide both side by 2.25

Volume = 4.58/2.25

Volume = 2.04 L

Therefore, the volume of the solution is 2.04 L

Assume that coal can be represented by the chemical formula C135H96O9NS. If 4.0 tons of coal is burned, what mass of nitrogen is
Schach [20]

Answer:

0.02 tons of NO produced when 4 tons of coal is burned

Explanation:

From the given,

Chemical formula of coal =  C_{134}H_{96}O_{9}NS

Molecular mass of coal = (134\times12)+(9\times1)+(9\times16)+14+32\,=1906.1gm

Let’s calculate the mass of nitrogen in coal

Percentage\,weight\,of\,nitrogen=\frac{Mass\,of\,nitrogen}{Molecular\,mass\,of coal}

Percentage\,weight/,of/,nitrogen=\frac{14}{1906.1}=0.73%

Amount of coal burnt = 4tons

Amount of NO produced by burning 4tons = 4\,tons\,of\,coal\times \frac{0.73tons}{100\,tons\,of\,coal}=0.0292\,tons

This nitrogen is converted into NO by reacting with atmospheric oxygen.
