How do functional groups affect the chemical properties of a molecule?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago
8 0
In organic chemistry, functional groups are specific groups of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules. The same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reactions regardless of the size of the molecule it is a part of.

What will you observe if you add cuso4 to a solution containing glucose?
arsen [322]
The blue color of copper (ii) sulfate will change to green, yellow, orange ,red and then a dark red or brown.
Glucose is a reducing sugar; reducing sugars are sugar that forms an aldehyde or ketone in the presence of an alkaline solution. Reducing sugars reduce the blue copper sulfate from the Benedict's solution to a red brown copper sulfide; which is seen as the precipitate and is responsible for the color change.

What is the ph of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate?
Reika [66]
The acid dissociation constant of benzoic acid is 6.5 x 10^-5. Therefore, the pH of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate is:

pH = -log[Ka]
pH = -log (6.5 x 10^-5)
pH = 4.19

The pH of the benzoic acid solution is 4.19 which is acidic, but a weak acid.

Predict the products of La(s) + O2(aq) ->
mina [271]

Answer:

i. La (s) + O2 (g) => LaO2 (s)

ii. La (s) + O2 (g) => La2O (s)

III. La (s) + O2 (g) => La2O3 (s)

Explanation:

<em>Hello </em><em>there!</em>

When you are given such a problem for completing the chemical equations, what you have to understand is that metals are found in groups I, II and III. While Oxygen is a group VI element.

From the above question I have considered that my La(s), solid is either Sodium (Na) - group I, Magnesium - group II and Aluminum - group III.

In a reaction, there is exchange of electrons given by their oxidation numbers (I, II and III - for our metals above)

The chemical equations are thus;

i. Na (s) + O2 (g) => NaO (s)

ii. Mg (s) + O2 (g) => Mg2O (s)

iii. Al (s) + O2 (g) => Al2O3 (s)

Relate this to the problem and it will be;

i. La (s) + O2 (g) => LaO2 (s)

ii. La (s) + O2 (g) => La2O (s)

III. La (s) + O2 (g) => La2O3 (s)

<em>I hope this </em><em>helps </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>understand</em><em> </em><em>better</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Enjoy </em><em>your</em><em> </em><em>studies</em>
