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.

One method for preparing pure iron from Fe2O3 is by reaction with carbon monoxide.Fe2O3(s)+CO(g)→Fe(s)+CO2(g) How many moles of
larisa [96]

Answer:

The 2292 moles of CO are needed to react completely with 122 Kg of Fe₂O₃.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Fe₂O₃ = 122 Kg ( 122×1000 =  122000 g)

Moles of CO = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO  → 2Fe + 3CO₂

Number of moles of  Fe₂O₃:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 122000 g /159.69 g/mol

Number of moles = 764 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Fe₂O₃ with CO.

                               Fe₂O₃            :            CO  

                                  1                  :             3

                               764                :             3×764  =2292 mol

The 2292 moles of CO are needed to react completely with 122 Kg of Fe₂O₃.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

so 0.15 moles X 22.4 dm3/mole=3.36 dm3. Next we find the moles of hexane combusted, and then the moles of CO2. Finally, we find the volume of CO2 using the fact that at STP, 1 mole of gas = 22.4 dm3.

What is the purpose of the periodic table?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

the periodic table is important because it is organized to provide a alot of information about elements and how they relate to one another in one easy-to-use reference. The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered.

How did knowing the number of valence electrons in one
Orlov [11]

Explanation:

Knowing the number of valence electrons in one of the alien elements helps in identifying it because the number of valence electrons can help categorize the alien element. Similar elements have the same valence electrons and knowing the category of the element can help further analyze the element.
