Alcohols have higher boiling points than do ethers and alkanes of similar molar masses.

<h3>What is meant by Boiling Point ?</h3>

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid is called the boiling point of the substance.

Approximately boiling point of Ethanol: 78.4°C, ether: 34.6°C, ethanes: 68°C

The reason for the difference is that it takes more energy to separate alcohol molecules then it does to separate alkane molecules and ether molecules.

The OH group in alcohol allows molecules to engage in hydrogen bonding.

Therefore Boiling point are in the order ;

Alcohol > alkane > ethers

In the following reaction, 451.4 g of lead reacts with excess oxygen forming 365.0 g of lead(II) oxide. Calculate the percent yi

user100 [1]

Let MM(x) be the molar mass of x.

MM(Pb) : MM(PbO)
=207.21 : 223.20 = 451.4 g : x g

cross multiply and solve for x
x=223.2/207.21*451.4
= 486.23 g

Percentage yield = 365.0/486.23= 0.75067 = 75.07% (rounded to 4 sign. fig.)

What is the binding energy of a nucleus that has a mass defect of 5.81*10-^29 kg

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Choice A: Approximately $5.23 \times 10^{-29}$ joules.

Explanation:

Apply the famous mass-energy equivalence equation to find the energy that correspond to the $\rm 5.81\times 10^{-29}$ kilograms of mass.

$E = m \cdot c^{2}$ ,

where

$E$ stands for energy,
$m$ stands for mass, and
$c$ is the speed of light in vacuum.

The speed of light in vacuum is a constant. However, finding the right units for this value can simplify the calculations a lot. What should be the unit of $c$ ?

The mass given is in the appropriate SI unit:

Mass is in kilograms.

Thus, proceed with the speed of light in SI units. The SI unit for speed is meters per second. For the speed of light, $c \approx \rm 3.00\times 10^{8}\;m\cdot s^{-1}$ .

Apply the mass-energy equivalence:

$\begin{aligned} E &= m \cdot c^{2} \\ &= \rm 5.81\times 10^{-29}\; kg \times {\left(3.00\times 10^{8}\; m\cdot s^{-1}\right)}^{2}\\ &\approx \rm 5.23\times 10^{-12}\;kg\cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .

The unit of energy is not in joules. Don't be alerted. Consider the definition of a joule of energy. One joule is the work done on an object when a force of one newton acts on the object in the direction of the force through the distance of one meter. (English Wikipedia.)

$\rm 1\; J = 1\; N \times 1\; m$ .

However, a force of one newton is defined as the force required to accelerated an object with a mass of one kilogram (not gram) at a rate of one meter per second squared. (English Wikipedia.)

$\begin{aligned}\rm 1\; J &= \rm 1\; N \times 1\; m\\ & = \rm \left(1\; kg\times 1\; m\cdot s^{-2}\right)\times 1\; m\\ &= \rm 1\; kg \cdot m^{2}\cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the mass defect here is also $\rm 5.23\times 10^{-12}\; J$ .

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 575 nm appears as yellow light to the human eye. The energy of one photon of this

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

9.12 * 10^20 photons

Explanation:

Given that;

E=n⋅h⋅ν

Where;

E= energy of the electromagnetic radiation

n = number of photons

h = Plank's constant

ν = frequency of electromagnetic radiation

Hence;

n = E/hν

n = 3.46 × 10 -19/6.6 * 10^-34 * 575 * 10^-9

n = 3.46 × 10 -19/3795 * 10^-43

n= 9.12 * 10^20 photons
