Does pyridine undergo nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions? if no, why not. if yes, on what position does the substitution occur? use resonance contributors to justify your answer.(15 points) b) draw the tautomers of 2-hydroxypyridine and 4-hydroxypyridine (5 points)

Explanation:

Part a

Pyridine is an aromatic heterocyclic compound and undergoes nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction at 2 and 4 positions.

This is because, when a  nucleophile attack pyridine at 2 and 4 positions, the anoin formed is stabilized. In the anion formed is tabilized by resonance and also negative charge is present at electronegative atom, nitrogen.

If the nucleophile attack at 3 position, the anion formed is not as stable as anions formed when nucleophile attach at 2 and 4 positions. This is because negative charge is not present at the nitrogen atom.

Part b:

Tautomers are structural isomers of each others formed by migration atom within the molecule. Tautomers exist in equilibrium with each other.

Tautomers of 2-Hydroxypyridine and 4-Hydroxypyrine are given in the attachment.

adding or remove a gaseous reactant or product changes the concentrations. if the concentration of reactant or product is increased, the system will shift away from the side in which concentration was increased (i.e. if the concentration of reactants is increased, the system will shift toward the products. if more products are added, the system will shift to form more reactants). conversely, if the concentration of reactant or product is decreased, the system will shift toward the side in which concentration was decreased (i.e. if reactants are removed, the system will shift to form more reactants. if the concentration of products is decreased, the equilibrium will shift toward the products).
