Lesechka [4]3 years ago

Benzaldehyde or C6H5CHO would not undergo the aldol condensation because it does not contain an alpha-hydrogen in its structure. Aldol condensation is a type of reaction that happens between an enolate and an aldehyde or ketone leading to a alkene that has a planar structure. The lack of an alpha-hydrogen would not allow for it to undergo such process since it cannot enolize. Benzaldehyde undergoes a nucleophilic reaction known as Claisen-Schmidt condensation. It has somehow same mechanism of the aldol reaction however, the nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl happens even without the alpha-hydrogen but with an enolate that is from a ketone.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

C 1:1

Explanation:

Hydrogen loses an electron to becone +1 which is a cation and flourine gains that electron to have a full outer shell on the 2p subshell to become -1 and is an anion so the ratio is 1:1.

Due to the small and highly electronegative nature of fluorine, the oxyacids of the this element are much less common and less s
steposvetlana [31]
We are told we have an oxyacid of the formula HOFO. We will assume the atoms are in this order and will draw a proper lewis structure for this compound by first drawing bonds between each of the 4 atoms and then place the remaining electron pairs on each atom:
      ..    ..    ..
H - O - F - O:
      ··   ··    ··
We can calculate the formal charge of an atom using the following formula:

Formal charge = [# of valence electrons] - [# of non-bonded electrons + # of bonds]

H: Formal charge = [1]-[0+1] = 0

O: Formal charge = [6]-[4+2] = 0

F: Formal charge = [7]-[4+2] = +1

O: Formal charge = [6]-[6+1] = -1

As we can see the overall charge of the molecule is neutral since the fluorine as a +1 charge and the oxygen a -1 charge.

What is the density of CHCL3 vapor at 1.00atm and 298K?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

4.8 g/mL is the density of chloroform vapor at 1.00 atm and 298 K.

Explanation:

By ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

Number of moles (n)

can be written as: n=\frac{m}{M}

where, m = given mass

M = molar mass

PV=\frac{m}{M}RT\\\\PM=\frac{m}{V}RT

where,

\frac{m}{V}=d which is known as density of the gas

The relation becomes:

PM=dRT    .....(1)

We are given:

M = molar mass of chloroform= 119.5 g/mol

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the gas = 298K

P = pressure of the gas = 1.00 atm

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.00atm\times 119.5g/mol=d\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\d=4.88g/L

4.8 g/mL is the density of chloroform vapor at 1.00 atm and 298 K.
