Use a sheet of paper to answer the following question. Take a picture of your answers and attach to this assignment. Draw the st
ructure of 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-pentanone and explain why it does not form an enol tautomer Explain why cyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-one (also called 2,4-cyclohexadienone) exists exclusively in the enol form
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Structure of the 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-pentanone is give in the attachment
In 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-pentanone, no alpha hydrogen is present, therefore, enol form is not possible and hence, exist only in keto form.
Explanation for existence of cyclohexa-2,4-diene-1-one only in enol form:
keto form of cyclohexa-2,4-diene-1-one not aromatic and hence less stable.
Whereas enol form it is aromatic which makes it highly stable. that's why cyclohexa-2,4-diene-1-one exists only in enol form.

Answer:
Explanation:-
Single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution.
As zinc is more reactive than copper, it could easily displace copper from its aqueous solution and thus leads to formation of zinc (II) sulfate and pure copper.
The chemical reaction can be represented as :
The phases are represented as (s) for solid sate, (l) for liquid state, (g) for gaseous state and (aq) for aqueous state.
