Vanillin is the common name for 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde.
See attached figure for the structure.
Vanillin have 3 functional groups:
1) aldehyde group: R-HC=O, in which the carbon is double bonded to oxygen
2) phenolic hydroxide group: R-OH, were the hydroxyl group is bounded to a carbon from the benzene ring
3) ether group: R-O-R, were hydrogen is bounded through sigma bonds to carbons
Now for the hybridization we have:
The carbon atoms involved in the benzene ring and the red carbon atom (from the aldehyde group) have a <u>sp²</u> hybridization because they are involved in double bonds.
The carbon atom from the methoxy group (R-O-CH₃) and the blue oxygen's have a <u>sp³</u> hybridization because they are involved only in single bonds.
Answer:
11.39
Explanation:
Given that:


Given that:
Mass = 1.805 g
Molar mass = 82.0343 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

Thus,


Given Volume = 55 mL = 0.055 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L)


Concentration = 0.4 M
Consider the ICE take for the dissociation of the base as:
B + H₂O ⇄ BH⁺ + OH⁻
At t=0 0.4 - -
At t =equilibrium (0.4-x) x x
The expression for dissociation constant is:
![K_{b}=\frac {\left [ BH^{+} \right ]\left [ {OH}^- \right ]}{[B]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Bb%7D%3D%5Cfrac%20%7B%5Cleft%20%5B%20BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%20%5Cright%20%5D%5Cleft%20%5B%20%7BOH%7D%5E-%20%5Cright%20%5D%7D%7B%5BB%5D%7D)

x is very small, so (0.4 - x) ≅ 0.4
Solving for x, we get:
x = 2.4606×10⁻³ M
pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(2.4606×10⁻³) = 2.61
<u>pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.61 = 11.39</u>
Answer:
A pure substance has a definite chemical composition
I just wanna know what does that even mean
