At 1200, the bond is C-O
At 3400, it is O-H and since there is no other absorption mentioned, so it can not be a carboxylic acid, therefore, its just an alcohol
according to the formula, there are 4 isomers

For 9, the bonds being broken are 1 C=C and 1 H-Br and those forming are 1 C-C, 1 C-H and 1 C-Br
Enthalpy change = +610 +366 -350 -410 -280 = -64

Thanks a bunch

Oh i get it now i just missed to add C-C single bond

Element J is a solid. It occurs as a contaminant of fossil fuels. Its oxide K is formed in car engines. In the atmosphere, K can be further oxidised to L. Which statements about J, K and L are correct? 1 Atoms of J have paired p electrons. 2 The atmospheric oxidation of K to L is a catalysed reaction. 3 With water, L forms a strong acid.
the answer is A how is option 1 correct? help!

J is sulfur which has 6 electrons in its outer shell...2s and 4p so 1p orbital has 2 electrons

but two electrons the the p subshell are unpaired

but two electrons the the p subshell are unpaired

But atleast it has SOME paired electrons, which makes the statement correct

Why can't it be A?

 

[Kanekii]

Why can't it be A?

Its B and its not A as catalyst increases rate but does not effect equilibrium so it can be seen that the it is referring to equilibrium due to pressure still being high enough. Besides im pretty sure catalyst were used that time as well for this reaction unless they were invented recently xD.

oh makes sense. thanks

Can someone plz explain statement 2 and 3? How is 2 wrong?

 

[Mts.99]

has chemistry threshold ever crossed 200 for A*?

Can someone plz explain statement 2 and 3? How is 2 wrong?

There can be no acid base reaction between bases and bases. Statement 2 is wrong as Sulfuric acid is an oxidising agent and can oxidise ethanol whilst being reduced in the process meaning it lost proton/H+ ion

That's the conversion from ethanol to ethene, right? And does the H+ from sulfuric acid react with OH- from alcohol?

No i was talking about the oxidation of alcohols to form Carboxylic acid and etc in which we oxidise by acidified KMnO4 and the acid used is usually sulfuric acid to acidify KMnO4.
In dehydration of alcohol H2SO4 used as a catalyst.

If the question was phrased such that the temperatures (energy) of the operating system was adjusted, then a catalyst is relevant. Here, they are talking about pressure conditions.

Hold on, the oxidizing agent should be the KMnO4 and not sulfuric acid

Do you mean that the answer was B and not D?

Idk why I am confusing this all but can u plz write an equation to show the behaviour of sulfuric acid as an acid in the reaction with ethanol?
