Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
A phenol which is used as a disinfectant for cleaning walls is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Those compounds which contain two or more
(b)
Interpretation:
A phenol which is used as an antiseptic found in some mouthwashes is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Those compounds which contain two or more functional groups are known as polyfunctional compounds. Many organic compounds have complex structures which involve multiple rings and long carbon chains. The replacement of the hydrogen atom by an aromatic ring results in the formation of a compound known as phenol.
(c)
Interpretation:
A phenol which is used as antioxidant to prevent rancidity in foods is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:

- The number of microstates corresponding to each macrostate is given by N. The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?arrow_forwardFor the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forwardHow many grams of C are combined with 3.75 ✕ 1023 atoms of H in the compound C5H12?arrow_forward
