Answer:

The correct order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic acyl substitution is E < D < C < A < F < B.

Explanation:

The stability of the leaving group best determines the manner of reactivity of carboxylates to nucleophilic substitution after the substitution of the nucleophile to the leaving group. The leaving group should, therefore, be protonated with hydrogen ion in the solution to form a stable molecule. From the given list: The leaving group for A, Ethyl thioacetate will be ethanethiol. For B, Acetyl chloride will be Hydrochloric acid. For C, Sodium acetate will be Sodium Hydroxide. For D, Ethyl acetate will be Ethanol. For E, Acetamide will be Ammonia, and for F, Acetic anhydride will be Ethanoic acid. The reactivity of the substitution reaction is dependent on the stability of these leaving groups. The stability of these leaving groups depends on their pKa, and the more the pKa, the lesser the acidity of the leaving group, and the lower the reactivity. Therefore, considering their pKa: A is 8.5, B is -7, C is 13.8, D is 15.9, E is 36, and F is 4.8. When we rearrange this pKa in descending order, we have E, D. C, A, F, B. Which is also the increased reactivity of the nucleophilic acyl substitution.

Starting with the unbalanced equation for the combustion of ethanol, C2H5OH(l)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+?H2O(l) what coefficient should be p
lianna [129]

Answer:

C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + ?H2O(l)

The coefficient should be 3

Explanation:

C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + ?H2O(l)

The chemical equation is a reaction between ethanol and oxygen . The reaction yield is carbon dioxide and water. Balancing the chemical equation requires one to make the number of atoms on the reactant side be equal to the number of atoms on the product side.

C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

The hydrogen atom on the left hand side of the equation is 6. Therefore, the number of atom of hydrogen should be 6 on the right hand side. The number of oxygen atom on the left hand side is 7. Therefore, the number of Oxygen atom on the right hand side should  7 . Oxygen atom in carbon dioxide(right hand side) is 4 atoms, therefore, it requires 3 atoms of oxygen to make the  oxygen atoms 7.

Using 3 as the coefficient of water in the equation will make hydrogen 6 and oxygen 3 .Adding the 3 oxygen to the already 4 atoms of oxygen in carbon dioxide will make oxygen 7 atoms

A solution is prepared by dissolving 27.7 g of cacl2 in 375 g of water. the density of the resulting solution is 1.05 g/ml. the
bagirrra123 [75]
The answer is 6.88.
Solution:
We can calculate for the percent composition of CaCl2 by mass by dividing the mass of the CaCl2 solute by the mass of the solution and then multiply by 100. The total mass of the resulting solution is the sum of the mass of CaCl2 solute and the mass of water solvent. Therefore, the percent composition of CaCl2 by mass is 
     % by mass = (mass of the solute / mass of the solution)*100 
                        = mass of solute / (mass of the solute + mass of the solvent)*100
                        = (27.7 g CaCl2 / 27.7g + 375g) * 100 
                        = 6.88
