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

Chemistry

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.

Calculate the number of mg of Mn2+ left
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

1.930 * 10⁻⁹ mg of Mn⁺² are left unprecipitated.

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

Mn⁺² + S⁻² ⇄ MnS(s)  

ksp = [Mn⁺²] [S⁻²]

If the pksp of MnS is 13.500, then the ksp is:

ksp=10^{-13.500}=3.1623*10^{-14}

From the problem we know that [S⁻²] = 0.0900 M

We use the ksp to calculate [Mn⁺²]:

3.1623*10⁻¹⁴= [Mn⁺²] * 0.0900 M

[Mn⁺²] = 3.514 * 10⁻¹³ M.

Now we can calculate the mass of Mn⁺², using the volume, concentration and atomic weight. Thus the mass of Mn⁺² left unprecipitated is:

3.514 * 10⁻¹³ M * 0.1 L * 54.94 g/mol = 1.930 * 10⁻¹² g = 1.930 * 10⁻⁹ mg.

Which sample contains the fewest atoms? a. 10 g of c b. 10 g of ne c. 10 g of f d. 10 g of n e. 10 g of o
Lerok [7]

The molar mass and the mass of the substance give the moles of the substance. The 10-gram sample of neon (Ne) has the fewest atoms. Thus, option b is correct.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

Moles of the substance are the ratio of the molar mass and the mass of the substance. The moles of each atom with respect to the Avagadro's number (Nₐ) is given as,

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

  • Moles of carbon (C) = 10 ÷ 12

= 0.83 Nₐ atoms

  • Moles of neon (Ne) = 10 ÷ 20

= 0.5 Nₐ atoms

  • Moles of fluorine (F) = 10 ÷ 19

= 0.52 Nₐ atoms

  • Moles of nitrogen (N) = 10 ÷ 14

= 0.7 Nₐ atoms

  • Moles of oxygen (O) = 10 ÷ 16

= 0.63 Nₐ atoms

Therefore, option b. 10 gm neon has the fewest atoms.

A decrease is the concentration of nitrogen monoxide (blank#1) between NO and H2 molecules. The rate of the forward reaction the
OverLord2011 [107]

In the given situation, the reaction is-

NO + H2 ↔ Products

The rate of the reaction can be expressed (in terms of the decrease in the concentration of the reactants) as-

Rate = -dΔ[NO]/dt = -dΔ[H2]/dt

Now, if the concentration of NO is decreased there will be fewer molecules of the reactant NO which would decrease the its collision with H2. As a result the rate of the forward reaction would also decrease.

Ans) A decrease in the concentration of nitrogen monoxide decreases the collisions between NO and H2 molecules. the rate of the forward reaction then decreases.
