Answer:
c. Compound 2 is more acidic because its conjugate base is more resonance stabilized
Explanation:
You haven't told us what the compounds are, so let's assume that the formula of Compound 1 is HCOCH₂OH and that of Compound 2 is CH₃COOH.
The conjugate base of 2 is CH₃COO⁻. It has two important resonance contributors, and the negative charge is evenly distributed between the two oxygen atoms.
CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇌ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺
The stabilization of the conjugate base pulls the position of equilibrium to the right, so the compound is more acidic than 1.
K + I - > KI
Potassium (needs to lose 1 electron) responds with Iodine (needs to pick up 1 electron) to fulfill both component's octet, shaping a salt, potassium iodide
This is a similar case for NaCl, simply unique components. Trust this made a difference.
Answer:
My guess would be 12.5828
Number of moles = mass of product / molecular mass
=mass of product (MgO) / 40.3
Since the mass of MgO is not given in the question, the correct answer choice cannot be given. However, proceeding witht eh above formula will enable you to find the correct number of moles given the mass of MgO.
