Answer:
A. Methanol
B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol
C. 2,2-dichloroethanol
D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol
Explanation:
Primary alcohols are stronger acids than secondary alcohols which are stronger than tertiary alcohols.
This trend is so because of the stability of the alkoxide ion formed(stabilising the base, increases the acidity). A more stabilised alkoxide ion is a weaker conjugate base (dissociation of an acid in water).
By electronic factors, When there are alkyl groups donating electrons, the density of electrons on th O- will increase a d thereby make it less stable.
By stearic factors, More alkyl group bonded to the -OH would mean the bulkier the alkoxide ion which would be harder to stabilise.
Down the group of the periodic table, basicity (metallic character) decreases as we go from F– to Cl– to Br– to I– because that negative charge is being spread out over a larger volume that is electronegativity decreases down the group.
Electronegative atoms give rise to inductive effect and a decrease in indutive effects leads to a decrease in acidity. Therefore an Increasing distance from the -OH group lsads to a decrease in acidity.
From above,
A. Methanol
B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol
C. 2,2-dichloroethanol
D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol
its exothermic. exothermic means the reaction gives out heat. [exo meaning outside and thermic meaning heat] because its a combustion reaction, fire is there meaning lots of heat.
endothermic means it takes in heat. a good example is ammonium and water (NH3 +H20)

Answer:
The order of reactivity of metals is as follows, Potassium > Sodium > Lithium > Calcium > Magnesium > Aluminium > Zinc > Iron > Copper > Silver > Gold.
Explanation:
The reactivity of elements (metals) towards water decreases towards the right in a period. It also increases down the group. But zinc is more reactive towards water than iron. Hence the correct order is:
Iron<Zinc<Magnesium<Sodium
In the context of multivalent ions, it is when it has multiple oxidative states.
