The conjugate base of hydroquinone is used in the synthesis of PEEK. Is hydroxide a strong enough base for deprotonating hydroqu

inone? Phenolic protons (pKa ~ 10) are acidic than water (pKa ~ 15.7), therefore the equilibrium favor deprotonation of hydroquinone by hydroxide.

Liula [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

  • Equilibrium always favor the formation of weak conjugate bases and acids.
  • H20 (pKa ~ 15.7) is a weak acid than phenol (pKa ~ 10) and thus the equilibrium will favor the deprotonation.

  • [pKa ∝ 1/Acidity]

  • Answers: Phenolic protons are more acidic than water,therefore the equilibrium should favor deprotonation of hydroquinone by hydroxide.

A 100.0 mL sample of 0.300 M NaOH is mixed with a 100.0 mL sample of 0.300 M HNO 3 in a coffee cup calorimeter. If both solution
uysha [10]

Answer:

THE STANDARD HEAT OF NEUTRALIZATION OF THE BASE SODIUM HYDROXIDE BY THE ACID HYDROGEN TRIOXONITRATE V ACID IS -56 kJ / mol.

Explanation:

Volume of 0.3 M NaOh = 100 mL

Volume of 0.3 M HNO3 = 100 mL

Initail temp of NaOH and HNO3 = 35 °C = 35 + 273 K = 308 K

Final temp. of mixture = 37 °C = 37 + 273 K = 310 K

We can make the following assumptions form the question given:

1. specific heat of the reaction mixture is the same as the specific heat of water = 4.2 J/g K

2. the toal mass of the reaction mixture is 200 mL = 200 g since no heat is lost to the calorimeter or surrounding.

3. initail temperature of the reaction mixture is equal to the average temperature of the two reactant solutions

= ( 308 + 308 /2) = 308 K

4. Rise in temeperature for the reaction = 310 -308 K = 2 K

Then the total heat evolved during the reaction = mass * specifc heat capacity * temperature  change

Heat = 200 g * 4.2 J/g K * 2 K

Heat = 1680 J

EQUATION FOR THE REACTION

HNO3 + NaOH -------> NaNO3 + H20

From the equation, 1 mole of HNO3 reacts with 1 mole of NaOH to prouce  mole of water.

100 mL of 0.5 M HNO3 contains 100 * 0.3 /1000 = 0.03 mole of acid

This result is same for the base NaOH = 0.03 mole of base

So therefore,

0.03 mole of acid will react with 0.03 mole of base to produce 0.03 mole of water to evolved 1680 J of heat energy.

The production of 1 mole of water will evolve 1680 / 0.03 J of heat

= 56 000 J or 56 kJ of heat energy per mole of water.

So therefore, 1the standard heat of neutralization of sodium hydroxide by trioxoxnitrate V acid is -56 kJ/mol.

Plutonium-196 has an atomic number of 78. It has ____ neutrons.
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

118 neutrons

Explanation:

There are three subatomic particles in an atom namely: electron, neutron and proton. The mass number of an atom is calculated by adding the proton no. (atomic mass) + neutron no.

That is;

Mass no. = proton no. + neutron no.

This means that to obtain the neutron no. in the atom of an element, we subtract the no of protons or atomic mass from the mass number.

According to this question, Plutonium-196 is said to have an atomic number of 78. The mass no. is 196, hence, the number of neutrons is:

196 - 78

= 118 neutrons.
