The parameter pH is a measure of the substance's acidity or basicity. It is quantitatively equal to the negative logarithm of the concentration of H+ ions. So, the lower the pH, the more acidic the substance, Otherwise, the higher the pH the more basic the substance. The pH range runs from 1 to 14, with 7 being neutral.
So, if we are asked to distinguish which of those have the lowest pH, we have to know the moles of H+ ions. Since all of them have a concentration of 0.1 M, concentration is not a factor. Thus, we just have to identify the strongest acid among the list. That is easy to answer because you only have to remember 7 strong acid occurring in nature: HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃, HClO₄, HClO₃, HBr, and HI. Since only HNO₃ is included in the list among the choices, the answer would be letter D.
I can't find the c orrect ratio in the selection. The formula for beryl is Be3Al2(SiO3)6 so it should be 3:2:6.
Answer:
Benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than acetaldehyde
Explanation:
Electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon depends on it's positive charge density.
In benzaldehyde, phenyl group can act as an electron donating group towards carbonyl group due to it's electron donating resonating effect.
In acetaldehyde, methyl group can act as an electron donating group towards carbonyl group due to it's electron donating inductive effect.
We know that resonating effect are more stronger than inductive effect.
Henece, it is expected that positive charge density on carbonyl carbon is much lower in benzaldehyde than acetaldehyde.
So, benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than acetaldehyde.
Resonating effect of phenyl group has been shown below.
The correct answer is A. Ethanol is alcohol; gasoline is fuel.
