List and explain the four most important factors that control the relative reactivity of a carbonyl-containing functional group
ioda

Resonance, leaving group, carbonyl carbon delta+, and steric effect is the most crucial variables that affect the relative reactivity of a functional group containing a carbonyl in an addition or substitution process.

Discussion:

1. Carbonyl Carbon Delta+: The carbonyl group becomes more electrophilic and accelerates nucleophilic assault when the carbonyl carbon delta+ is bigger.

2. Resonance: When the carbonyl is transformed into the tetrahedral adduct, it may be lost. Loss of resonance increases the energy of the transition state for this nucleophilic assault because resonance has the function of stabilizing. Therefore, a carbonyl functional group's resistance to nucleophilic attack increases as resonance in the group increases in importance.

3. Leaving group: Tetrahedral adduct fragmentation is encouraged by a better LG.

4. Steric effects: The nucleophilic attack on carbonyl carbon is delayed when sterically impeded.

Many moderately large organic molecules containing basic nitrogen atoms are not very soluble in water as neutral molecules, but
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

a) For nicotine, the protonated form is the present in stomach.

b) For caffeine, the neutral base form is the present in stomach.

c) For Strychinene, the protonated form is the present in stomach.

d) For quinine, the protonated form is the present in stomach.

Explanation:

In a basic dissociation for molecules with basic nitrogen, the equilibrium is:

A + H₂O ⇄ AH⁺ + OH⁻

<em>Where A is neutral base and AH⁺ is protonated form</em>

The basic dissociation constant, kb, is:

K_{b} = \frac{[AH^+][OH^-]}{[A]}

As pH in stomach is 2,5:

[OH] =10^{-[14-pH]}

[OH] = 3,16x10⁻¹² M

Thus:

\frac{K_{b}}{3,16x10^{-12}} =\frac{[AH^+]}{[A]} <em>(1)</em>

Using (1) it is possible to know if you have the neutral base or the protonated form, thus:

(a) nicotine Kb = 7x10^-7

\frac{K_{b}}{3,16x10^{-12}} =\frac{[AH^+]}{[A]}

\frac{7x10^{-7}}{3,16x10^{-12}} =\frac{[AH^+]}{[A]}

221359 = \frac{[AH^+]}{[A]}

[AH⁺}>>>>[A]

For nicotine, the protonated form is the present in stomach

(b) caffeine,Kb= 4x10^-14

\frac{K_{b}}{3,16x10^{-12}} =\frac{[AH^+]}{[A]}

\frac{4x10^{-14}}{3,16x10^{-12}} =\frac{[AH^+]}{[A]}

0,0127 = \frac{[AH^+]}{[A]}

[AH⁺}<<<<[A]

For caffeine, the neutral base form is the present in stomach

(c) strychnine Kb= 1x10^-6

\frac{K_{b}}{3,16x10^{-12}} =\frac{[AH^+]}{[A]}

\frac{1x10^{-6}}{3,16x10^{-12}} =\frac{[AH^+]}{[A]}

314456 = \frac{[AH^+]}{[A]}

[AH⁺}>>>>[A]

For Strychinene, the protonated form is the present in stomach

(d) quinine, Kb= 1.1x10^-6

\frac{K_{b}}{3,16x10^{-12}} =\frac{[AH^+]}{[A]}

\frac{1,1x10^{-6}}{3,16x10^{-12}} =\frac{[AH^+]}{[A]}

347851= \frac{[AH^+]}{[A]}

[AH⁺}>>>>[A]

For quinine, the protonated form is the present in stomach.

I hope it helps!

At equilibrium, ________. At equilibrium, ________. all chemical reactions have ceased the rate constants of the forward and rev
balandron [24]

Answer:

<em>At equilibrium, the rate of the forward, and the reverse reactions are equal.</em>

Explanation:

In an equilibrium chemical reaction, the rate of forward reaction, is equal to the rate of reverse reaction. Note that the reactions does not cease at equilibrium, but rather, the reactants are converted to product, at the same rate at which the product is also being converted into the reactants in the reaction. When chemical equilibrium is reached, a careful calculation of the value of equilibrium constant is approximately equal to 1.

NB: If the value of equilibrium constant is far far greater than 1, then the reaction will favors more of the forward reaction, and if far far less than 1, the reaction will favor more of the reverse reaction.

If an atom has 5 protons and 6 neutrons how many electrons does it have? What would the mass of this atom be?
zysi [14]

Answer:

<em>Mass number = protons + neutron</em>

<em />

<em>The mass number of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons. The number of neutrons for a given element is the only number that can change and still have the identity of the element stay the same, (because the atomic number is the number of protons). </em>

<em> </em>

<em>In this case the mass number would be 11</em>

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
