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.

What mass of oxygen (O2) forms in a reaction that forms 15.90 g C6H12O6? (Molar mass of O2 = 32.00 g/mol; molar mass of C6H12O6
Dafna11 [192]

The answer is: the mass of oxygen is 16.95 grams.

The overall balanced photosynthesis reaction:  

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.  

m(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.90 g; mass of glucose.

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = m(C₆H₁₂O₆) ÷ M(C₆H₁₂O₆).

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.9 g ÷ 180.18 g/mol.

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 0.088 mol; amount of glucose.

From chemical reaction: n(C₆H₁₂O₆) : n(O₂) = 1 : 6.

n(O₂) = 6 · 0.088 mol.

n(O₂) = 0.53 mol; amount of oxygen.

m(O₂) = 0.53 mol · 32.00 g/mol.

m(O₂) = 16.95 g; mass of oxygen.

Nitrogen and hydrogen combine to form ammonia in the Haber process.
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

-105 kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy change of a reaction is the sum of the energy of the bonds of the reactants and the products. The bonds at the reactants are being broken, so it's an endothermic reaction, so the bond energy must be positive.

The bonds at the products are being formed, so the process is exothermic, and the bond energy must be negative. There are being broken 1 N≡N bond and 3 H-H bonds, and are being formed 6 N-H bonds:

Reactants: 945 + 3*432 = 2241 kJ

Products: 6*(-391) = -2346 kJ

ΔH = 2241 - 2346

ΔH = -105 kJ

The difference between cow stomach and human stomach​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The primary distinction between the digestive systems of cows and humans is that the former uses a foregut fermenter while the latter uses a straightforward monogastric digestion. The types of teeth, mouths, stomachs, guts, and digestive enzymes released by the gut also vary between the two digestive systems. Cows and humans have different digestive systems because they have evolved two different sorts of dietary patterns based on their capacities. The primary distinctions between the digestive systems of cows and humans are in the types of teeth, mouths, stomachs, and intestines, as well as the enzymes released.

What happens when a substance undergoes a physical change? Some physical properties change, but the substance keeps its identity
elena55 [62]
Some physical properties change, but the substance keeps its identity.

When dealing with these kind of questions, understand that the keyword here is physical change. Thus, all options that says no physical properties change are WRONG. So this leaves us with only 2 answers left. However, this is a physical change, no chemical change. Thus, the substance will keep its identity and not change.

This type of radiation is smallest and highest in energy
Pavel [41]

As your question is vague, I am assuming that you are talking Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation. Out of these three radiation, Gamma radiation is the smallest in size compared to Alpha or Beta, but it has the highest energy levels. Gamma radiation is also known as photons. In other words, photons are light particles.
