Answer:

(a) > (d) > (c) > (b)

Explanation:

Acidic character is based upon inductive effect of the functional group that are attached to parent chain.

1. Nitro is a -I group which makes phenol acidic due to increased resonance,  2. bromine is a -I group but it is weaker than nitro group

3. phenol is more acidic than cyclohexanol due to resonance stabilization of resonance and among halogen F>Cl>Br>I is the order of acidity

4. cyclohexanol will be weakest as  it is not associated with any -I groups here.

so the order of acidity will be

(a). 4-nitropheno >  (d). 4-bromophenol > (c). 2,6-difluorocyclohexanol  >               (b). cyclohexanol

Explain why copper 2 oxide is a base although it does not turn litmus paper to blue​
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Copper II oxide is a base but not an alkali. An alkali is a soluble base. Since Copper II oxide is not soluble in water then it is not an alkali.

Let us recall that the change of colour of litmus with an alkali requires the presence of water. In the absence of water, solid Copper II oxide does not turn red litmus paper blue.

The ability to turn red litmus paper blue is commonly observed with alkalis and Copper II oxide is not an alkali.

Also recall that since Copper II oxide is not soluble, hydroxide ions are absent hence Copper II oxide does not turn red litmus paper blue.

(a) The mass density of a gaseous compound was found to be 1.23 kg m^−3 at 330 K and 20 kPa. What is the molar mass of the compo
Luden [163]

Answer:

The molar mass of the compound is:- 168.82 g/mol

The molar mass of the gas is:- 16.38 g/mol

Explanation:

(a)

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Also,  

Moles = mass (m) / Molar mass (M)

Density (d)  = Mass (m) / Volume (V)

So, the ideal gas equation can be written as:

PM=dRt

Given that:-

Pressure = 20 kPa = 20000 Pa

The expression for the conversion of pressure in Pascal to pressure in atm is shown below:

P (Pa) = \frac {1}{101325} P (atm)

20000 Pa = \frac {20000}{101325} atm

Pressure = 0.1974 atm

Temperature = 330 K

d = 1.23 kg/m³ = 1.23 g/L

Molar mass = ?

Applying the equation as:

0.1974 atm × M = 1.23 g/L × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 330 K

⇒M = 168.82 g/mol

<u>The molar mass of the compound is:- 168.82 g/mol</u>

(b)

Given that:

Pressure = 152 Torr

Temperature = 298 K

Volume = 250 cm³ = 0.25 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

R = 62.3637\text{torr}mol^{-1}K^{-1}

Applying the equation as:

152 Torr × 0.25 L = n × 62.3637 L.torr/K.mol × 298 K

⇒n = 0.002045 moles

Given that :  

Mass of the gas = 33.5 mg = 0.0335 g

Molar mass = ?

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.002045\ moles&#10;= \frac{0.0335\ g}{Molar\ mass}

<u>The molar mass of the gas is:- 16.38 g/mol</u>
