Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The reasonable mechanism for product B in reaction below should be drawn.
Concept introduction:When one single structure is unable to describe all the properties of single molecule, a phenomenon called resonance comes into play. This arises when two or more than two Lewis structures are possible for one molecule. All such structures are called resonating structures and have same placement of atoms in them but these have different locations of bond pairs and lone pairs. The resonating structures are inter-convertible with each other. The resultant of all the resonating or contributing structures is called the resonance hybrid.
Rules to form resonance structure are as follows:
1. Use arrow types 1 and 2 for resonance structure of anions in movement of negative charge. Arrow type 1 shows the movement of lone pair toward adjacent atom and then converted into
2. Use only arrow type 3 to move a positive charge for resonance structure of cations. Arrow type 3 is used to move
3. The sigma bond should not be broken. Any atom must not move from its place and total number of electrons must be same in all resonance structures.

Interpretation: The ratio

Organic Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry
- While selenic acid has the formula H2SeO4 and thus is directly related to sulfuric acid, telluric acid is best visualized as H6TeO6 or Te(OH)6? a. What is the oxidation state of tellurium in Te(OH)6? b. Despite its structural differences with sulfuric and selenic acid, telluric acid is a diprotic acid with pKa1=7.68 and pKa2=11.29. Telluric add can be prepared by hydrolysis of tellurium hexafluoride according to the equation TeF6(g)+6H2O(l)Te(OH)6(aq)+6HF(aq) Tellurium hexafluoride can be prepared by the reaction of elemental tellurium with fluorine gas: Te(s)+3F2(g)TeF6(g) If a cubic block of tellurium (density = 6.240 g/cm3) measuring 0.545 cm on edge is allowed to react with 2.34 L fluorine gas at 1.06 atm and 25C, what is the pH of a solution of Te(OH)6 formed by dissolving the isolated TeF6(g) in 115 mL solution?
