Answer:p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is stronger acid to phenol

para-cyanophenol is stronger acid to meta-cyanophenol

o-fluorophenol is stronger acid to p-fluorophenol.

Explanation:

The PKa tool relative to Ph are used to contrast the pairs.

The pKa of phenol is 10. The pKa of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is 9.24

The pKa for meta-cyanophenol is 8.61 and the pKa for para-cyanophenol is 7.95. 

The pKa value of o-fluorophenol is 8.7, while that of the p-fluorophenol is 9.9. It's obvious that the inductive effect is more dominant at ortho-position, which results in a more acidic nature

The pKa is the pH value at which a chemical species will accept or donate a proton. The lower the pKa, the stronger the acid and the greater the ability to donate a proton in aqueous solution.

Explain the energetic benefits of making the enzyme active site complementary to the transition state rather than to the substra
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the enzyme active site is complementary to the substrate conformation rather than to the transition state, it is unlikely that the reaction will proceed and release a product, because the enzyme-substrate complex will be tightly bound (ΔG will raise).

On the other hand, when the enzyme active site is complementary to the transition state, the substrate will not be tightly bound and will be more prone to be transformed into the product (<u>ΔG will be lowered</u>) and afterward, be released.

The weak interactions (non-covalent bonds) will stabilize the energy of the transition state and reduce its energy, thus lowering the activation energy). If the transition state is stable, it will form more easily and<u> the reaction will be more likely to proceed.</u>

the mass of a liquid is 11.50 g and its volume is 9.03 mL. How many significant figures should its density value have?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

The mass has 4 sig digits.

The volume has 3 sig digits

The density is = 11.50/9.03 = 1.2735

To 3 sig digits (determined by 9.03) the answer would be 1.27 gram/mL

Hydrogen 3 has a half life of 12.32 years a sample of h-3 weighing 3.02 grams is left for 15.0 years what will the final weight
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The final mass of sample is 1.3 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of H-3 = 12.32 years

Amount left for 15.0 years = 3.02 g

Final amount = ?

Solution:

First all we will calculate the decay constant.

t₁/₂ = ln² /k

t₁/₂ =12.32 years

12.32 y =  ln² /k

k = ln²/12.32 y

k = 0.05626 y⁻¹

Now we will find the original amount:

ln (A°/A) = Kt

ln (3.02 g/ A) = 0.05626 y⁻¹ × 15.0 y

ln (3.02 g/ A) = 0.8439

3.02 g/ A = e⁰°⁸⁴³⁹

3.02 g/ A = 2.33

A = 3.02 g/ 2.33

A = 1.3 g

The final mass of sample is 1.3 g.

Question 4 Solve and report to correct number of significant figure 2.375 + 4.5​
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

6.9 (two sig figs)

Explanation:

2.375 + 4.5 = 6.875 = 6.9

When adding or subtracting, sig figs are determined by the least number of digits past the decimal point.
