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 can be said of a closed system when an exothermic reaction proceeds in an aqueous solution?
lyudmila [28]
An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction that dissipates heat as the reaction proceeds. This would mean that in a closed system, when a reaction proceeds and is endothermic, the temperature of the solution  or the system would increase so as to maintain the equilibrium with the whole system.

Read the false statement.
liq [111]

Answer:

The second one is the correct statement.

Explanation:

An atom consists of a dense, heavy, positively charged central part called nucleus. It consists of neutrons and protons.

The electrons revolves around the nucleus in circular paths. These electrons are called planetary electrons because they can be compared to various planets revolving around the sun and the nucleus is compared with sun.
