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

2 answers:

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.

Answer:

1) Favor formation of reactant

2) Favor formation of product

3) Favor formation of product

4) Favor formation of product

5) Favor formation of product

Explanation:

The reaction is $AgBr(s)--->Ag^{+}(aq)+Br^{-}(aq)$

The reaction is endothermic

1. Adding hydrobromic acid (HBr)

It will increase the amount of bromide ion. Bromide ion is one of the product so it will favor formation of reactant.

2. Lowering the concentration of bromide (Br-) ions

As we are decreasing the the concentration of product it will favor formation of more products

3. Heating the concentrations

If we are heating the mixture, it will increase the temperature and it will favor endothermic reaction. Thus will favor formation of product.

4. Adding solid silver bromide (AgBr)

If we are adding silver bromide it means we are increasing the concentration of reactant, it will favor formation of products

5. Removing silver (Ag+) ions

Removing silver ions means we are decreasing the concentration of product thus it will favor formation of products.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Question:

A chemistry student needs of 10 g isopropenylbenzene for an experiment. He has available 120 g of a 42.7% w/w solution of isopropenylbenzene in acetone. Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button.

Answer:

The answer to the question is as follows

The mass of solution the student should use is 23.42 g.

Explanation:

To solve the question we note the following

A solution containing 42.7 % w/w of isopropenylbenzene in acetone has 42.7 g of isopropenylbenzene in 100 grams of the solution

Therefore we have 10 g of isopropenylbenzene contained in

100 g * 10 g/ 42.7 g = 23.42 g of solution

Available solution = 120 g

Therefore the quantity to used from the available solution = 23.42 g of the isopropenylbenzene in acetone solution.
