(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given pair, the more reactive ketone has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The relative reactivity of carbonyl groups:

Carbonyl group is polar because oxygen is more electronegative than the carbon.  As results carbonyl group is an electron deficient and it is an electrophile.

An aldehyde has a greater partial positive charge on its carbonyl carbon than a ketone because an alkyl group is more electrons donating than hydrogen.

The ketones with small alkyl groups bonded to the carbonyl carbon are more reactive than those with large alkyl groups.

(b)

Imagine separating this process into the four stages sketched below. (These sketches show only a portion of the substances, so you can see the density and distribution of atoms and molecules in them.) CH,CN H₂O B 88 C Use these sketches to answer the questions in the table below. The enthalpy of solution AH is negative soln when CH3CN dissolves in water. Use this information to list the stages in order of increasing enthalpy. Would heat be absorbed or released if the system moved from Stage C to D? What force would oppose or favor the system moving from Stage C to D? Check all that apply. 1 absorbed O released neither absorbed nor released. none O ionic bonding force covalent bonding force…
In a system with an anodic overpotential, the variation of ŋ as a function of the current density: 1. at low fields is linear 2. at higher fields, it follows Tafel's law Find the range of current densities for which the overpotential has the same value as when calculated for cases 1 and 2 (maximum relative difference of 5% with respect to the behavior for higher fields). To which overpotential range does this correspond? Data: 10 = 1.5 mA cm², T = 300°C, ẞ = 0.64, R = 8.314 J K 1 mol‍¹ and F = 96485 C mol-1.
