Chapter 20, Problem 20.37AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why all efforts to synthesize a carboxylic acid containing the isotope oxygen 18 at only the carbonyl oxygen fail and yield instead a carboxylic acid in which the labeled oxygen is distributed equally between both oxygen atoms of the carboxy group is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The delocalization of electrons results in the formation of resonance structure. The curved-arrow notation traces the flow of the electrons in a compound. This notation is used to derive the resonance structure.

Briefly, but clearly, explain why the –OH hydrogen in acetic acid (CH3CO2H) is more acidic than in ethanol (C2H5OH).
H NH₂ ཡིནྣཾ ༥ ཨ ཨནྡྷ༥ ༠ ཨི་ཝཱ, ཙ ཨ་ར༩ H NH3+ the acidity of the amine ion drives the reaction to shift toward the conjugate base of the carboxylic acid product. the resulting carboxylic acid ion is a weaker base than an acetate ion. O aldehydes are more reactive toward nucleophiles than ketones. Onucleophilic attack occurs preferentially at the less hindered carbon of the formyl group.
Methylamine, CH3NH2, reacts with hydronium ion in very much the same way as ammonia. CH3NH2(aq) + H30*(aq)→ CH3NH3*(aq) + H20(1) On the basis of what you have learned so far in this course, which of the following are the most likely structures of CH3NH2 and CH3NH3*? (Select two structures.) OH H H H OH H C-N-H нн HạC-N-H H. H3C-N-H H H+ H3N-C-H H3N-C H3C-N I-Z-I
