While ethanol being an alcohol does have a direct O−H connection. Hence, ethanol has intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Therefore, more stroger physical bonds have to be destroyed in ethanol, than in acetone. Hence, acetone evaporates faster than ethanol inspite of having higher surface tension.

<h3>What is Vapor pressure ?</h3>

The pressure that a vapour exerts on the condensed phases (solid or liquid) in a closed system when they are in thermodynamic equilibrium with one another is known as vapour pressure (or equilibrium vapour pressure).

  • It is significant to remember that when a liquid boils, the pressure of its vapour equals the atmospheric pressure. For instance, the vapour pressure of water when it boils at sea level is 1 atmosphere because the surrounding pressure is also 1 atmosphere.

If the ratio of the length of a rectangle to its width is 3 to 2, what is the
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Length of a rectangle whose width is 4 inches is

<u>6 inches</u>

Explanation:

Ratio of length  to its width is 3 to 2

Let length  = L

Let Width  = B

L: B = 3 : 2 (given)

\frac{L}{B} =\frac{3}{2}

Width ,B = 4

Insert  B in above equation

\frac{L}{B} =\frac{3}{2}

\frac{L}{4} =\frac{3}{2}

cross multiply,

L = \frac{3}{2}\times4

L = 6 inches

Conversion(if required) ,

1 inch = 2.54 cm

6 inch = 2.54 (6)

L = 15.24 cm

How many grams of oxygen gas must react to give 2.10g of ZnO?
Advocard [28]
The chemical reaction is written as:

2Zn + O2 = 2ZnO

We are given the amount of the product to be produced from the reaction. We use this value and the relation of the substances in the reaction to calculate what is asked. We do as follows:

2.10 g ZnO ( 1 mol / 81.408 g ) ( 1  mol O2 / 2 mol ZnO ) ( 32 g / 1 mol ) = 0.414 g O2 is needed

Compute the percent ionic character of the interatomic bonds for the following compounds : a. TiO2 b. ZnTe c. CsCld. InSb e. MgC
sesenic [268]

Answer:

a. 63.2%

b. 11.7%

c. 73.3%

d. 0.995%

e. 55.5%

Explanation:

An ionic compound is a compound that is formed by ions, so one of the elements must donate electrons (which is the cation, the positive ion), and the other will receive these electrons (which is the anion, the negative ion).

The power of an element has to attract the electrons is called electronegativity, and so, as higher is the difference of electronegative of the elements, it is more probable that one of them will "still" the electrons and will form an ionic compound. The percent of this ionic character can be found by the Pauling's equation:

%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(x_A - x_B)^2}) *100%

Where x_A - x_B is the electronegativity difference of the elements. Thus, consulting an electronegativity table:

a. x_{Ti} = 1.5

x_{O} = 3.5

%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(3.5 - 1.5)^2})*100%

%IC = 63.2%

b. x_{Zn} = 1.6

x_{Te} = 2.1

%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(2.1 - 1.6)^2})*100%

%IC = 11.7%

c. x_{Cs} = 0.7

x_{Cl} = 3.0

%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(3.0 - 0.7)^2})*100%

%IC = 73.3%

d. x_{In} = 1.7

x_{Sb} = 1.9

%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(1.9 - 1.7)^2})*100%

%IC = 0.995 %

e. x_{Mg} = 1.2

x_{Cl} = 3.0

%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(3.0 - 1.2)^2})*100%

%IC = 55.5%
