Which ketone in each pair is more reactive?

Chemistry
1 answer:
KiRa [710]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a. 2-heptanone is more reactive than 4-heptanone

b. chloromethyl phenyl ketone is more reactive than bromomethyl phenyl ketone

Explanation:

The reactivity of the carbonyl compound (ketone ) is affected by the steric effect. The steric effect is a hindrance that occurs in the structure or reactivity of a molecule, which is affected by the physical size and the proximity of the adjacent parts of the molecule.

Between 2-heptanone or 4-heptanone, 2-heptanone is more reactive than 4-heptanone. This is because 2-heptanone is less affected by the steric hindrance, unlike the 4-heptanone.

Similarly, the reactivity of the carbonyl compound (ketone) is also affected by the polarity on the carbon compound, which is associated with how electronegative the substituent attached is to the carbonyl compound. From the periodic table, the electronegativity of the Halogen family decreases down the group. Therefore chlorine is more electronegative than bromine.

As such, chloromethyl phenyl ketone is more reactive than bromomethyl phenyl ketone.

Answer:

16 mol NaCl.

Explanation:

Do the train track method to cancel out all the units except moles of NaCl on top. Remember one mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L at STP.

179.2 L CO2  x 1 mol CO2/22.4 L CO2 x 2 mol NaCl/1 mol CO2

= 16 mol NaCl

Why are alkali metals so reactive?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

<em>Alkali metals are among the most reactive metals. This is due in <u>part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies.</u> They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and have an oxidation state of +1. ... All these characteristics can be attributed to these elements' large atomic radii and weak metallic bonding.</em>

At a given temperature, the elementary reaction A − ⇀ ↽ − B , A↽−−⇀B, in the forward direction, is first order in A A with a rat
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The equilibrium constant for the reversible reaction = 0.0164

Explanation:

At equilibrium the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backwards reaction.

The reaction is given as

A ⇌ B

Rate of forward reaction is first order in [A] and the rate of backward reaction is also first order in [B]

The rate of forward reaction = |r₁| = k₁ [A]

The rate of backward reaction = |r₂| = k₂ [B]

(Taking only the magnitudes)

where k₁ and k₂ are the forward and backward rate constants respectively.

k₁ = 0.010 s⁻¹

k₂ = 0.0610 s⁻¹

|r₁| = 0.010 [A]

|r₂| = 0.016 [B]

At equilibrium, the rate of forward and backward reactions are equal

|r₁| = |r₂|

k₁ [A] = k₂ [B] (eqn 1)

Note that equilibrium constant, K, is given as

K = [B]/[A]

So, from eqn 1

k₁ [A] = k₂ [B]

[B]/[A] = (k₁/k₂) = (0.01/0.0610) = 0.0163934426 = 0.0164

K = [B]/[A] = (k₁/k₂) = 0.0164

Hope this Helps!!!
