Answer:
c. Compound 2 is more acidic because its conjugate base is more resonance stabilized
Explanation:
You haven't told us what the compounds are, so let's assume that the formula of Compound 1 is HCOCH₂OH and that of Compound 2 is CH₃COOH.
The conjugate base of 2 is CH₃COO⁻. It has two important resonance contributors, and the negative charge is evenly distributed between the two oxygen atoms.
CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇌ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺
The stabilization of the conjugate base pulls the position of equilibrium to the right, so the compound is more acidic than 1.
Answer:
weak acid
Explanation:
pH scale is from 0 to 14
pH =7 is for water which is neutral. it is neither acidic or basic as the hydrogen ion concentration is equal to hydroxyl ion concentration.
Lesser the pH value than 7 greater the acidic nature. And greater the pH value than 7 more the basic nature.
Given pH=3-7 So the indicated interval represents weakly acidic.
Ba stays as Ba+2 and Cl stays as Cl-
Answer:
Although they receive a bad rap from the media and pharmaceuticals, the majority of prokaryotes are either harmless or actually help eukaryotes, such as animals and plants, to survive and only a small number of species are responsible for serious illnesses.
