Arrange the following compounds in decreasing order of acidity from left to right, and explain the reason in less than 90 words.
1 answer:
Explanation:
More is the electronegativity of atoms attached to the alpha carbon atom more will be the attraction of electron towards it. As a result, release of hydrogen ion will be easier.
Therefore, there will be increased in acidity of the compound.
Since, fluorine, chlorine and bromine are all group 17 elements and fluorine is more reactive than chlorine. On the other hand, chlorine is more reactive than bromine.
Hence, ability to attract the electrons towards itself will be maximum in fluorine and least in bromine.
Therefore, decreasing order of acidity of the given compounds is as follows.

14.292 grams of Fe2O3 is formed when 10 gram of iron metal is burned.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is to be known so that number of moles taking part can be known.
The balanced chemical equation is
4Fe + 3⇒ 2
From the given weight of iron to be used for the production of , number of moles of Fe taking part in the reaction can be known by the formula:
Number of moles= mass ÷ Atomic mass of one mole of the element.
(Atomic weight of Fe is 55.845 gm/mole)
Putting the values in equation
Number of moles = 10 gm ÷ 55.845 gm/mole
= 0.179 moles
Applying the stoichiometry concept
4 moles of Fe gives 2 Moles of Fe2O3
0.179 moles will produce x moles of Fe2O3
So, 2÷ 4 = x ÷ 0.179
2/4 = x/ 0.179
2 × 0.179 = 4x
2 × 0.179 / 4 = x
x = 0.0895 moles
So from 10 grams of iron metal 0.0895 moles of Fe2O3 is formed.
Now the formula used above will give the weight of Fe2O3
weight = atomic weight × number of moles
= 159.69 grams × 0.0895
= 14.292 grams of Fe2O3 formed.
