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

Chemistry

Ilya [14]2 years ago

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.

Calculate the vapor pressure of a solution of 32.5 g of glycerol (C3H8O3) in 500.0 g of water at 25°C. The vapor pressure of wat
Luba_88 [7]

The vapor pressure is obtained as 23.47 torr.

<h3>What is the vapor pressure?</h3>

Given that; p = x1p°

p = vapor pressure of the solution

x1 = mole fraction of the solvent

p° = vapor pressure of the pure solvent

Δp = p°(1 - x1)

Δp =x2p°

Δp =  vapor pressure lowering

x2 = mole fraction of the  of the solute

Number of moles of  glycerol =  32.5 g/92 g/mol = 0.35 moles

Number of moles  of water = 500.0 g/18 g/mol = 27.8 moles

Total number of moles = 0.35 moles + 27.8 moles = 28.15 moles

Mole fraction of glycerol = 0.35 moles/28.15 moles = 0.012

Mole fraction of water = 27.8 moles/28.15 moles =0.99

Δp =  0.012 * 23.76 torr

Δp =  0.285 torr

p1 = p° - Δp

p1 = 23.76 torr -  0.285 torr

p1 = 23.47 torr

4. Which class of matter is the least evenly
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Pure iron sulfide is homogeneous (uniform in appearance and properties), shows constant composition (a consistent ratio of iron to sulfur throughout any sample of it, large or small), consists of molecules all of one type, is no longer separable into two separate substances without another chemical reaction, and is .

Explanation:

Mixtures in two or more phases are heterogeneous mixtures. ... The exception would be solutions that contain another phase of matter. For example, you can make a homogeneous solution of sugar and water, but if there are crystals in the solution, it becomes a heterogeneous mixture.
