  • Different intermolecular attractions accessible to solvent molecules cause various solvent effects, in part.
  • Certain solvents form hydrogen bonds. A fairly typical example is water, as well as alcohols like methanol. Others don't donate hydrogen bonds; they can only accept them.
  • Some solvents may more effectively stabilize the anions that result from the deprotonation of Bronsted acids. As a result, when measured in various solvents, pKa values may vary.
<h3>What is pKa value?</h3>
  • In layman's terms, pKa is a measurement of an acid's strength. A strong acid will have a pKa value that is lower than 0.
  • To be more specific, pKa is the Ka value's negative log base ten value (acid dissociation constant).
  • How tightly a proton is retained by a Bronsted acid is how the strength of an acid is measured.

Chrysanthenone is an unsaturated ketone. If Chrysanthenone has M+ = 150 and contains 2 double bond(s) and 2 ring(s); what is its
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

the Molecular formula will be; C10H14O

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Chrysanthenone is an unsaturated ketone,

it has M+ = 150 and contains 2 double bond(s) and 2 ring(s).

molecular formula = ?

we know that ketone contain 1 oxygen and mass of oxygen is 16

so mass of the C and H remaining will be;

⇒ 150 - 16 = 134

Now we determine the number of C atoms;

⇒ 134 / 13 = 10

hydrocarbon with 10 hydrogen atom have CnH2n+2 means

⇒ ( 10 × 2 ) +2 = 22 hydrogens

But then we have 3 unsaturation meaning 6 hydrogens less and also we have ring meaning 2 more hydrogens

⇒ 22 - 6 - 2 = 14

Hence the Molecular formula will be; C10H14O

The individual dipole moments in ammonia (NH3) do not cancel each other
kozerog [31]

Answer:

                    The strongest force that exists between molecules of Ammonia is <em>Hydrogen Bonding</em>.

Explanation:

                    Hydrogen Bond Interactions are those interactions which are formed between a partial positive hydrogen atom bonded directly to most electronegative atoms (i.e. F, O and N) of one molecule interacts with the partial negative most electronegative atom of another molecule.

                    Hence, in ammonia the nitrogen atom being more electronegative element than Hydrogen will be having partial negative charge and making the hydrogen atom partial positive. Therefore, the attraction between these partials charges will be the main force of interaction between ammonia molecules.

                  Other than Hydrogen bonding interactions ammonia will also experience dipole-dipole attraction and London dispersion forces.
