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

Chemistry

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 rate a of reaction
kicyunya [14]
The rate of the reaction is measurable quantity that refers to the amount or how much is are chemical substances reagents used up or converted into the product over some period of time.

Rate = change in the amount/time.

This can indirectly be observed through many ways, such as the volume of gas given off if the byproduct is a gas being produced, the colour of the solution etc.

Which of the following objects would float when placed in water? (Note: 1 mL 1 cm+3)*
liraira [26]

Only an apple will float when placed in water.

An object will float in water if its density is <em>less than that of water</em> (1.0 g/mL).

An object will sink in water if its density is <em>greater than that of water</em>.

Thus, solid objects made of <em>gold, iron, or rubber</em> will all sink in water.

Crystals of a chemical in a lab slowly disappear from their container they do not become liquid. What change of state is this an
Olenka [21]
The change of state that has been given in the question is called sublimation. It is actually the process in which a solid gets directly converted to gas without changing into liquid. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and the answer has actually come to your desired help.
