The reduction potential diagram (Latimer diagram) for Cu is acid solution Calculate x. Does Cu^(+) disproportionate in the solution?

Answer»

Solution :`Cu^(2+),e to Cu^+ , E^@=0.15 , Delta G^@=n F E^@=-1 times 0.15 F =-0.15 F`
`Cu^+ + e to Cu: E^@= 0.50, Delta G^@=-1 times 0.50 F=-0.50 F`
On adding
`Cu^(2)+2 e to Cu, Delta G^@=-0.65 F`
`E_(Cu^(2+),Cu)^@=(Delta G^@)/(- n F)=(-0.65 F)/(-2F)=0.325 ` volt
`x=0.325` volt
Further
`Cu^+ to Cu^(2+) +e, Delta G^@=-nFE^@=-1 times (-0.15)F=0.15 F`
`Cu^+ +e to Cu, Delta G^@=-nFE^@=-1 times 0.50 times F=-0.50 F`
`=0.0591/n log {[Ag^+]_(righ t)/[Ag^+]_(l eft)}`
`=0.0591/1 log""0.1/0.001=0.0591 log 100`
`=0.1182` volt
Since `E_(CELL)` is positive, the right electrode will act as CATHODE (where REDUCTION occurs) and the left electrode will act as anode (where oxidation occurs) The electrons will thus travel from left to right in external circuit.

The word "aromatic" through started with benzene and its derivatives only, now it signifies a large variety of organic compounds. To examine the presence of aromaticity, the following tips are useful. Ensure that your compound is cyclic. Each corner of the ring is either a double bonded atom, or must carry a negative charge or a positive charge or a hetero atom planar. You may get deceived while examiningthis. On the plane of the paper everything appears planar unless specially specified. Your compound should have a closed shell of (4n+2) electrons. When the closed loop contains 4n electrons, the system is rather less stable or antiaromatic. In fused ring system some of the rings give up their aromatic nature to adjacent rings in a property knwon as "annellation". Which of the following is most acidic

Answer»




Solution :Structure (b) and (C) will also become aromatic after losng a proton, but only by annellation. The rings likely to lose a proton in these choices will not themselves become aromatic after the loss. Structure (a), HOWEVER, loses a proton to attain aromatic stability, whereas structure (d) becomes antiaromatic.
The ion as a WHOLE is aromatic.
Annellation causes the electron to be less availabletowards the five membered ring. As a RESULT, the central ring is not much INTERESTED to lose proton.
