explain, in therms of intermolecular forces, why greasy engine parts are better cleaned using petrol or kerosene as the solvent

than water.

Answer:

Grease is insoluble in water but soluble in kerosene

Explanation:

The molecules in grease are non polar molecules and so can not react with water which is polar to generate enough solvation energy. On the other hand kerosine is non polar so reacts with grease to generate enough solvation energy to dissolve it.

A solution of acetic acid has a pH of 3.45. What is the concentration of acetic acid in this solution? Ka for CH3COOH is 1.8×10-
Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.007 M

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Thus,  

pH = - log [H⁺]

The expression of the pH of the calculation of weak acid is:-

pH=-log(\sqrt{k_a\times C})

Where, C is the concentration = ?

Given, pH = 3.45

So, for CH_3COOH, K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}

3.45=-log(\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-5}\times C})

\log _{10}\left(\sqrt{1.8\cdot \:10^{-5}C}\right)=-3.45

C = 0.007 M

Naphthalene, commonly found in moth balls, is composed of 93.7% carbon and 6.3% hydrogen. The molar mass of naphthalene is 128 g
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Molecular formula naphthalene → C₁₀H₈

Empirical formula naphthalene → C₅H₄

Explanation:

Centesimal composition means that in 100 g of compound we have x g of the element. Therefore in 100 g of naphthalene we have:

93.7 g of C

6.3 g of H

Let's make a rule of three:

In 100 g of naphthalene we have 93.7 g of C  and 6.3 g of H

In 128 g of naphthalene we would have:

128 . 93.7 / 100 = 120 g of C

128.  6.3 / 100 = 8 g of H

We convert the mass to moles, by molar mass:

120 g . 1mol / 12 g = 10 moles C

8 g . 1mol/ 1g = 8 moles H

Molecular formula naphthalene → C₁₀H₈

Empirical formula naphthalene → C₅H₄

(The sub-index of each element is divided by the largest possible number)
