Chapter 20.SE, Problem 18VC
Interpretation Introduction

a)

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-EBOOK>I<, Chapter 20.SE, Problem 18VC , additional homework tip  1

Interpretation:

Whether the carboxylic acid represented by the model is more acidic or less acidic than benzoic acid is to be stated and explained.

Concept introduction:

Electron releasing substituents, if present, in the benzene ring destabilize the carboxylate anion and makes the compound less acidic. On the other hand, electron withdrawing substituents, if present, in the benzene ring stabilize the carboxylate anion and makes the compound more acidic.

To state and explain:

Whether the carboxylic acid represented by the model is more acidic or less acidic than benzoic acid.

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential Ered +1.26 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 1.10 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions. Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box.. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the maximum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no upper limit, check the "no" box. yes, there is a minimum. 1 red Πν no minimum Oyes, there is a maximum. 0 E red Dv By using the information in the ALEKS…
