Glycerol boils at a higher temperature than water. What does this indicate about the attractive forces of glycerol?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Ilya [14]3 years ago
7 0

The chemical formula for glycerol is HOCH2-CH(OH)-CH2OH while that of water is H-OH. The intermolecular forces in both water and glycerol are the strong H-bonds. However, since there are 3 OH groups/ glycerol molecule vs the one -OH group in water enables glycerol to form more H-bonds when compared to water.

The stronger attractive forces in glycerol causes an increase in its boiling point.

Answer: Glycerol has more attractive forces as compared to water.

Explanation:

Boiling point is the temperature at which vapor pressure of the liquid becomes equal to atmospheric pressure.

Boiling point depends on the strength of inter molecular forces.

The molecules of glycerol (HOCH_2CH(OH)CH_2OH) are more strongly bonded through hydrogen bonds as there are three OH groups.

But in water (H_2O) , only on e OH group is present and thus extent of hydrogen bonding is less.

Thus we can conclude that glycerol has more attractive forces as compared to water.

Why neon is special from other chemical elements​
kupik [55]
Noble gases react very unwillingly, because the outermost shell of electrons orbiting the nucleus is full, giving these gases no incentive to swap electrons with other elements. As a result, there are very few compounds made with noble gases. Like its noble gas comrades, neon is odorless and colorless.

What happens to entropy during this dissolving process.
Paul [167]

Answer:

The process of dissolving increases entropy because the solute particles become separated from one another when a solution is formed.

A solution at 25 ∘C has pOH = 10.53. Which of the following statements is or are true? The solution is acidic. The pH of the sol
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The true statements are:

The solution is acidic

The pH of the solution is 14.00 - 10.53.

10^{-10.53}=[OH^-]

Explanation:

The pH of the solution is defined as negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration present in the solution .

pH=-\log[H^+]

  • The pH value more 7 means that hydrogen ion concentration is less ,alkaline will be the solution.
  • The pH value less 7 means that hydrogen ion concentration is more ,acidic will be the solution.
  • The pH value equal to 7 indicates that the solution is neutral.

The pOH of the solution is defined as negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration present in the solution .

pOH=-\log[OH^-]

The pOH of the solution = 10.53

10.53=-\log[OH^-]

10^{-10.53}=[OH^-]

The pH of the solution = ?

pH+pOH=14

pH=14-pOH=14-10.53=3.47

Here, the pH of the solution is less than 7 which means that solution acidic.

What is the equilibrium expression for this reaction?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The equilibrium expression is

[products]/[reactants] and each is raised to its molar coefficient.

So:

[H2}^2[O2]/[H2O]^2
