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

If I add 475mL of water to 75.0mL of a 0.315M NaOH solution, what will the molarity of the diluted solution be?
pantera1 [17]
Answer is: <span>the molarity of the diluted solution 0,043 M.
</span>V(NaOH) = 75 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0,075 L.
c(NaOH) = 0,315 M = 0,315 mol/L.
n(NaOH) = c(NaOH) · V(NaOH).
n(NaOH) = 0,075 L · 0,315 mol/L.
n(NaOH) = 0,023625 mol.
V(solution) = 0,475 L + 0,75 L.
c(solution) = 0,023625 mol ÷ 0,550 L.
c(solution) = 0,043 mol/L.

Suppose a scientist proposes a plan to destroy all bacteria on Earth in order to get rid of diseases caused by bacteria. Explain
dimulka [17.4K]
This would not be a good idea because bacteria is everywhere and function as a part of out everyday lives. Starting off with animals, many animals rely on bacteria to digest their food so many animals would begin to die off. Ecosystems would fail due to nitrogen not being able to cycle.
Without bacteria biological waste would build up causing a drop in population, eventually going extinct.
Basically, the balance of nature between humans, animals, and plants would no longer exist.

What is the mass of a block with a volume of 18 cm^3, and a density of 9.2 g/cm^3?
Semmy [17]

Answer: 165.6grams

Explanation:

Mass of a block = ?

Volume of block = 18 cm^3

Density of block = 9.2 g/cm^3

The density of any object depends on its mass and volume.

i.e Density of block = Mass / volume

9.2 g/cm^3 = Mass / 18 cm^3

Mass = 9.2 g/cm^3 x 18 cm^3

= 165.6 g

Thus, the mass of the block is 165.6grams

Pb + Mg(NO₃)₂   →    Pb(NO₃)₂  +  Mg
This reaction would NOT occur because Pb is less reactive than Mg and as such Pb cannot displace the Mg in order for the reaction to occur under normal conditions.


Mg  +  Fe(NO₃)₂   →   Fe  + Mg(NO₃)₂
This reaction would occur. This is because Mg is more reactive than Fe and as such can displace it in the reaction, thus allowing the reaction to occur under normal conditions.


Cu + Mg(NO₃)₂   →   Cu(NO₃)₂  +  Mg
This reaction would NOT occur. Mg is more reactive than Cu, and as such copper cannot displace magnesium in order for the reaction to occur under normal conditions.
