K for enolization of 2,4-cyclohexadienone is about 1013. Explain why the enol is so much more stable than the keto tautomer.

Chemistry
1 answer:
torisob [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Because the value of K is huge.

Explanation:

The tautomer is a kind of isomer in which exist an equilibrium between a ketone and an enol, or between an aldehyde and an enol. So, in the enolization, the ketone is the reactant and the enol is the product.

The equilibrium reaction can be characterized by an equilibrium constant, which is the ratio of the concentration of the products by the concentration of the reactants.

Because the constant K is extremely large (10¹³) we can conclude that the concentration of the product will be greater than the concentration of the reactant, in the equilibrium. It means that the concentration of the enol will be greater.

So, the ketone is unstable and forms in a great amount the more stable product, the enol.

What is the mass of 0.5 moles of carbon tetrafluoride, CF4?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

44 g

Explanation:

The formula for the number of moles (n) is equal to n=\frac{mass}{molecular weight} .

Since we need to find the mass, we derive it from the formula of the number of moles and we get that mass = n x molecular weight .

The molecular weight of CF_{4} = 12 g/mol (from the carbon) + 19x4 g/mol (from the 4 fluorine atoms)= 88 g/mol

We plug in the numbers in the derived formula for the mass and we get :

mass = n x molecular weight = 0.5 mol x 88 g/mol = 44 g

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when heptane, C7H16(l) , burns in air.
Pavlova-9 [17]
Start with Unbalanced Equation and balance it, so...
C7H16+O2--->CO2+H2O
There are 7 C atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 7 C atoms on the right-hand side. Add a 7 in front of the CO2...7CO2+H2O on right side now.
We have fixed 16 H atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 16 H atoms on the right-hand side. Add an 8 in front of H2O to make 16 (8x2)...7CO2+8H2O on right side now.
There are 22 O atoms on the right-hand side: 14 from the CO2 and 8 from the H2O. Add an 11 in front of the O2 on the left side to make 22 (11x2).
Every formula now has a fixed coefficient. You should have a balanced equation of...
C7H16+11O2--->7CO2+8H2O
