Explain why the C―Ha bond is much more acidic than the C―Hb bond in pentan-2-one. Select the single best answer. 253 Ha is less

acidic than Hb because loss of Hb forms a resonance-stabilized conjugate base. Ha is more acidic than Hb because loss of Ha forms a resonance-stabilized conjugate base. Ha is more acidic than Hb because loss of Hb forms a resonance-stabilized conjugate base. Ha is less acidic than Hb because loss of Ha forms a resonance-stabilized conjugate base.

Answer:

Ha is more acidic than Hb because loss of Ha forms a resonance-stabilized conjugate base.

Explanation:

The carbon atom that is next to the carbonyl group in pentan-2-one is known as the alpha carbon atom, this carbon atom bears the Ha, the alpha hydrogen atoms.

Ha is more acidic than Hb because, loss of Ha leads to the formation of a resonance stabilized enolate ion. This resonance stabilization of the ion formed makes loss of Ha an easier process than loss of Hb, hence the answer above.

Are all molecules of a particular substance alike?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, all molecules of a particular substance are similar or alike if the substance has similar shape and structure. Molecule is made up of two or more atoms having no charge on them and the atoms present in it make bonds with each other. For example, water is made of similar molecules i. e. two hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom bonded together with a covalent bond.

Traveling at the speed of light - how long would it take, in years, to reach the top of the pile of balls? Show all calculations
marusya05 [52]

The time taken for the object to reach to top of pile is 0.012 year.

<h3>Time of motion </h3>

The time taken for the object to reach to top of pile is calculated as follows;

time of motion = distance traveled/speed

time of motion = (1.1 x 10¹⁴ x 10³ m)/(3 x 10⁸ m/s)

where;

  • speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

time of motion = 3.67 x 10⁵ sec = 0.012 year

Thus, the time taken for the object to reach to top of pile is 0.012 year.

Consider the following reaction: A(g)⇌2B(g). Find the equilibrium partial pressures of A and B for each of the following differe
Illusion [34]

Answer:

a. Kp=1.4

P_{A}=0.2215 atm

P_{B}=0.556 atm

b.Kp=2.0 * 10^-4

P_{A}=0.495atm

P_{B}=0.00995 atm

c.Kp=2.0 * 10^5

P_{A}=5*10^{-6}atm

P_{B}=0.9999 atm

Explanation:

For the reaction  

A(g)⇌2B(g)

Kp is defined as:

Kp=\frac{(P_{B})^{2}}{P_{A}}

The conditions in the system are:

          A                    B

initial   0                1 atm

equilibrium x       1atm-2x

At the beginning, we don’t have any A in the system, so B starts to react to produce A until the system reaches the equilibrium producing x amount of A. From the stoichiometric relationship in the reaction we get that to produce x amount of A we need to 2x amount of B so in the equilibrium we will have 1 atm – 2x of B, as it is showed in the table.    

Replacing these values in the expression for Kp we get:

Kp=\frac{(1-2x)^{2}}{x}

Working with this equation:

x*Kp=(1-2x)^{2} - -> x*Kp=4x^{2}-4x+1- - >4x^{2}-(4+Kp)*x+1=0

This last expression is quadratic expression with a=4, b=-(4+Kp) and c=1

The general expression to solve these kinds of equations is:

x=\frac{-b(+-)*\sqrt{(b^{2}-4ac)}}{2a} (equation 1)

We just take the positive values from the solution since negative partial pressures don´t make physical sense.

Kp = 1.4

x_{1}=\frac{(1.4+4)+\sqrt{(-(1.4+4)^{2}-4*4*1)}}{2*4}=1.128

x_{1}=\frac{(1.4+4)-\sqrt{(-(1.4+4)^{2}-4*4*1)}}{2*4}=0.2215

With x1 we get a partial pressure of:

P_{A}=1.128 atm

P_{B}=1-2*1.128 = -1.256 atm

Since negative partial pressure don´t make physical sense x1 is not the solution for the system.

With x2 we get:

P_{A}=0.2215 atm

P_{B}=1-2*0.2215 = 0.556 atm

These partial pressures make sense so x2 is the solution for the equation.

We follow the same analysis for the other values of Kp.

Kp=2*10^-4

X1=0.505

X2=0.495

With x1

P_{A}=0.505atm

P_{B}=1-2*0.505 = -0.01005 atm

Not sense.

With x2

P_{A}=0.495atm

P_{B}=1-2*0.495 = 0.00995 atm

X2 is the solution for this equation.  

Kp=2*10^5

X1=50001

X2=5*10^{-6}

With x1

P_{A}=50001atm

P_{B}=1-2*50001=-100001atm

Not sense.

With x2

P_{A}= 5*10^{-6}atm

P_{B}=1-2*5*10^{-6}= 0.9999 atm

X2 is the solution for this equation.

<em>How do air masses flow?</em>

<em>from regions of high pressure to low pressure</em>

.

In general, cold air masses tend to flow toward the equator and warm air masses tend to flow toward the poles.
