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

Chemistry

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.

For each situation below, state whether water will move into the cell, move out of the cell, or stay the same.
Firdavs [7]
Water moves from an area of higher water potential (aka. "more water" in simple language) to an area of lower water potential (aka. "less water" in simple language).

For A, cells in carrots have water stored in their cytoplasm, where many soluble substances may be found (e.g. sodium ions). On the other hand, pure water has no other soluble substances other than the water molecules (I.e. H2O). Pure water will thus have a higher water potential as compared to the water in carrot cells, and so, water will move from pure water into the carrot cells via osmosis down a concentration gradient.

B. Corn syrup is water that has high concentrations of sugars, thus it is very likely to have a lower water potential than the cells of carrots. Water will move from within the cells of carrots and out to the corn syrup, down a concentration gradient.

C. The water in carrot cells will stay the same, since carrot cells have the same water potential as the surrounding solution which has the same water potential as cytoplasm.

Hope this helps! :)

Calculate the enthalpy of the reaction
harkovskaia [24]

Answer : The enthalpy of the reaction is, -2552 kJ/mole

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given enthalpy of reaction is,

4B(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2B_2O_3(s)    \Delta H=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reactions are:

(1) B_2O_3(s)+3H_2O(g)\rightarrow 3O_2(g)+B_2H_6(g)     \Delta H_A=+2035kJ

(2) 2B(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow B_2H_6(g)    \Delta H_B=+36kJ

(3) H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l)    \Delta H_C=-285kJ

(4) H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2O(g)    \Delta H_D=+44kJ

Now we have to revere the reactions 1 and multiple by 2, revere the reactions 3, 4 and multiple by 2 and multiply the reaction 2 by 2 and then adding all the equations, we get :

(when we are reversing the reaction then the sign of the enthalpy change will be change.)

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction will be,

\Delta H=-2\times \Delta H_A+2\times \Delta H_B-6\times \Delta H_C-6\times \Delta H_D

\Delta H=-2(+2035kJ)+2(+36kJ)-6(-285kJ)-6(+44)

\Delta H=-2552kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy of the reaction is, -2552 kJ/mole
