There are only three constitutional isomers (see the image below).

Ethyl methyl ether is the least acidic because it has only C-H bonds. However, it should be more acidic than an alkane (pKₐ ≈ 50) because of the electron withdrawing effect of the O atom. I would expect it to have pKₐ ≈ 30.

The alcohols are more acidic because the O in the O- H bond is highly electron withdrawing. Alcohols typically have pKₐ ≈ 17.

Alkyl groups are electron-donating. This increases electron density in the OH bond and makes the acid weaker. Propan-2-ol has two methyl groups on the α-carbon, while propan-1-ol has one ethyl group. Thus propan-2-ol should be a slightly weaker acid than propan-1-ol.

Acidity is a measure of the amount of dissolved hydroxide ions in a solution.

Gekata [30.6K]

The concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is a measure of its acidity. So the correct option is (b) false.

When an Arrhenius acid is dissolved in water, hydrogen ions are produced:

H+(aq) + A- = HA + H2O (aq)

Here, H+ is the hydrogen cation, A- is the solvated anion, also known as the conjugate base, and HA is the non-dissociated acid. When an Arrhenius base is dissolved in water, hydroxide ions are produced:

BOH + H2O → B+(aq) + OH-(aq)

Is a material with at least one hydrogen atom that has the ability to split apart in an aqueous solution to produce an anion and an H + ion (a proton), creating an acidic solution. Bases are substances that, when dissolved in water, create hydroxide ions (OH) and a cation, resulting in a basic solution.

Based upon the information provided in the class, which of the following bond types is the strongest? Question options:

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer: A hydrogen bonding is interaction between lone pair and hydrogen atom. An Ion-Dipole interaction is the interaction between an ion formed and a dipole. Dipole forms because of the electronegativity difference between two atom participating in the bond formation, and an ion is formed when an atom gains or lose electron. This ion-dipole interaction is strongest interaction.

Therefore, The right choice is (B)

Ice Select one: a. is a crystal of water molecules packed in an open structure stabilized by hydrogen bonds. b. is less dense th

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

All of the statements above are true.

Explanation:

Ice is solid water. Ice consists of an array of water molecules arranged into a crystal lattice. Ice has spaces between the water molecules so it is less dense than liquid water. Ice is about 9% less dense than liquid water. This accounts for the fact that it floats on water.

Ice contains more hydrogen bonds per water molecule when compared to liquid water.
