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.

Which of the following is true for balancing equations?
algol [13]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

An equation with the equal amount and proportion of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction is commonly referred to as a balanced chemical equation.

The law of conservation of matter asserts that no observable and empirical change in the amount of matter occurs within a conventional chemical process. As a result, each element in the product would have the same equal amount or numbers of atoms as the reactants.

Henry Moseley organized the periodic table by A. atomic weight. B. atomic number. C. electronegativity. D. overall charge of ato
Leni [432]
B - Atomic number. Dmitri Mendeleev organised the table according to atomic weight, however this caused problems with elements such as iodine and tellurium, Iodine has a higher mass, but a lower atomic number. And to make iodine in the same group as similar elements (halogens), Mendeleev had to break his own rules and put it before tellurium in the table. Moseley fixed this problem by ordering the elements according to atomic (proton) number.
