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.

A sample of an ideal gas at 1.00 atm and a volume of 1.32 L was placed in a weighted balloon and dropped into the ocean. As the
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

When the pressure increases to 90.0 atm , the volume of the sample is 0.01467L

Explanation:

To answer the question, we note that

P₁ = 1.00 atm

V₁ = 1.32 L

P₂ = 90 atm.

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature, the volume of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure

That is P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Solving the above equation for V₂ we have

V_2 = \frac{P_1P_2}{P_2}  that is V₂ = \frac{1atm*1.32L}{90atm} = \frac{11}{750}L or 0.01467L

What does lead ii acetate and hydrogen sulfide produce? and what type of reaction is it?
kati45 [8]
When Lead (II) acetate and Hydrogen sulfide react, they form Lead sulfide and Acetic acid. The reaction is a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction.
The balanced chemical reaction is this:
Pb(C2H3O2)2 + H2S --> PbS + 2C2H4O2
And the net ionic reaction is this:
Pb2+ + S2- --> PbS
