Answer:
the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants.
Explanation:
the the change is enthalpy is negative, and heat is released to the surroundings.
Answer:
+VE
Explanation:
If we look at the reaction profile pictured in the question, we can easily identify A as the enthalpy of the reaction. The enthalpy of reaction (ΔHrxn) is usually defined as the difference between the total enthalpy (heat content) of the products of a reaction and the total enthalpy (heat content) of the reactants in that reaction.
Looking at the figure, we can see that the enthalpy of products is greater than the enthalpy of reactants, hence ∆Hrxn is positive as stated in the answer above.
Answer:
Phenols do not exhibit the same pka values as other alcohols;
They are generally more acidic.
Using the knowledge that hydrogen acidity is directly related to the stability of the anion formed, explain why phenol is more acidic than cyclohexane.
Explanation:
According to Bromsted=Lowry acid-base theory,
an acid is a substance that can release 
ions when dissolved in water.
So, acid is a proton donor.
If the conjugate base of an acid is more stable then, that acid is a strong acid.
In the case of phenol,
the phenoxide ion formed is stabilized by resonance.
The resonance in phenoxide ion is shown below:
Whereas in the case of cyclohexanol resonance is not possible.
So, cyclohexanol is a weak acid compared to phenol.
Answer: Na, S, Cl
Explanation:
Atomic size decreases as one moves from left to right on the periodic table with elements in the same period. This is as a result of the electrons increasing in the outer circle and thus being drawn to the protons in the nucleus which will lead to the outer shell area decreasing.
Sodium (Na) comes before Sulfur (S) which comes before Chlorine (S) so this is the decreasing order as they are all in the same period.
