In the presence of strong acids, which of the oxygen atoms on the carboxyl group is preferentially protonated and why? a. Protonation occurs at the carbonyl oxygen because the resulting conjugate acid i stabilized by resonance.
b. Protonation occurs at the carbonyl oxygen because the resulting conjugate base is stabilized by the inductive effect.
c. Protonation occurs at the hydroxyl oxygen because the resulting conjugate acid is stabilized by resonance.
d. Protonation occurs at the hydroxyl oxygen because the resulting conjugate base is stabilized by the inductive effect.

Protonation occurs at the carbonyl oxygen because the resulting conjugate acid is stabilized by resonance.

Explanation:

The carboxyl group is an organic and a functional group that consists of a carbon atom that's singly bonded to a hydroxyl group and double-bonded to an oxygen atom.

In the presence of strong acids, protonation occurs at the carbonyl oxygen because the resulting conjugate acid is stabilized by resonance.

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g

the answers would be

the first one and the second one
