Answer:(4) ----accepts  a proton

Explanation:

H2O water can produce both hydrogen and   hydroxide ions

H2O --> H+ + OH-

According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, it can be a proton donor and a proton acceptor.this means that It can donate a hydrogen ion to become its conjugate base, or  can accept a hydrogen ion to form its conjugate acid,

When , a water molecule, H2O accepts a proton it will act as a Brønsted-Lowry base especially when dissolved in a strong acidic medium. for eg

HCl + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + Cl−(aq)

Here, Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and ionizes completely in  water, since it is more acidic than water, the water will act as a base.

Predict the initial and isolated products for the reaction. The starting material is a 6 carbon chain where there is a triple bo
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

This reaction is known as mercuric ion catalyzed hydration of alkynes.

The first step in the reaction is attack of the mercuric ion on the carbon-carbon triple bond, a bridged intermediate is formed. This bridged intermediate is attacked by water molecule to give an organomercury enol. This undergoes keto-enol tautomerism, proton transfer to the keto group yields an oxonium ion, loss of the mercuric ion now gives equilibrium keto and enol forms of the compound. The keto form is favoured over the enol form.

I want to know the steps.
Artyom0805 [142]

The answer for the following problem is described below.

<em><u> Therefore the standard enthalpy of combustion is -2800 kJ</u></em>

Explanation:

Given:

enthalpy of combustion of glucose(ΔH_{f} of C_{6}H_{12} O_{6}) =-1275.0

enthalpy of combustion of oxygen(ΔH_{f} of O_{2}) = zero

enthalpy of combustion of carbon dioxide(ΔH_{f} of CO_{2}) = -393.5

enthalpy of combustion of water(ΔH_{f} of H_{2} O) = -285.8

To solve :

standard enthalpy of combustion

We know;

ΔH_{f}  = ∈ΔH_{f} (products) - ∈ΔH_{f} (reactants)

C_{6}H_{12} O_{6} (s) +6 O_{2}(g) → 6 CO_{2} (g)+ 6 H_{2} O(l)

ΔH_{f} = [6 (-393.5) + 6(-285.8)] - [6 (0) + (-1275)]

ΔH_{f} = [6 (-393.5) + 6(-285.8)] - [0 - 1275]

ΔH_{f} = 6 (-393.5) + 6(-285.8)  - 0 + 1275

ΔH_{f} = -2361 - 1714 - 0 + 1275

ΔH_{f} =-2800 kJ

<em><u> Therefore the standard enthalpy of combustion is -2800 kJ</u></em>

Many people in the world don't have access to clean drinking water. What may be the cause of this?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Climate change and an increase in unpredictable and extreme weather is a growing challenge. Long periods of drought affect clean water supplies while flooding can pollute clean water sources and cause outbreaks of disease.

In a reaction, chlorine accepts an electron to form Cl-. What is true about the atomic size of the chlorine ion?
Lynna [10]

Answer is: The atomic size of the chlorine ion is larger than the size of the chlorine atom.

Covalent radii of chlorine atom (Cl) is 0.099 nm and ionic radii of chlorine anion (Cl⁻) is 0.181 nm.

Difference between an chlorine atom and chlorine anion is the number of electrons that surround the nucleus.

Chlorine atom has 17 electrons and chlorine anion has 18 electrons.
