Give a reason for each of the following :
The number of hydrogen ions in an aqueous solution of acetic acid increase considerably with dilution while this is not the case with an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride.
Give a reason for each of the following :
A mixture of NH4Cl and NH4OH is used to precipitate the metallic hydroxides of group III.
(i) The reagent is electrophile and the reaction is electrophilic substitution since C1+ replaces during the reaction.
(ii) The reagent is nucleophile and reaction is a nucleophilic substitution. To be more specific, it is SN1reaction.
(iii) It is nucleophilic addition reaction since the reaction is initiated by nucleophilie CN-
Arrange the following in increasing order of acidity and explain your order:
Phenol, Methanol, Water.
