Why are hydrophobic molecules such as fats and oils unable to dissolve in watery solutions?

Chemistry

Maru [420]3 years ago

Hydrophobic mplecules are unable to fissolve in watery solution becuse they dislike water.

Hydro= water
-phobic= fear

Hydrophobic= fear of water, or disliking water
*Think of it like this:
when you mix oil and water, do they mix, or does oil float at the top?

If your reply is "oil float to the top", then you're right. Oil and water DOES NOT mix together. Hope that help!

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Mass of H₂O is 3.0g

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

        6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Parameters that are known:

Mass of CO₂ used = 7.3g

Unknown: mass of water consumed = ?

Solution

To solve this kind of problem, we simply apply some mole concept relationships.

  • First, we work from the known to the unknown. From the problem, we have 7.3g of CO₂ that was used. We can find the number of moles from this value using the expression below:

        Number of moles of CO₂ =  \frac{mass}{molar mass}

  • From this number of moles of CO₂, we can use the balanced equation to relate the number of moles of CO₂ to that of H₂O:

       6 moles of CO₂ reacted with 6 moles of H₂O(1:1)

  • We can then use the mole relationship with mass to find the unknown.

Workings

>>>>     Number of moles of CO₂ =?

          Molar mass of CO₂ :

              Atomic mass of C = 12g

               Atomic mass of O = 16g

        Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2 x16) = 44gmol⁻¹

     Number of moles of CO₂ = \frac{7.3}{44} = 0.166moles

>>>>>>   if 6 moles of CO₂ reacted with 6 moles of H₂O, then 0.166moles of CO₂ would produce 0.166moles of H₂O

>>>>>> Mass of water consumed = number of mole of H₂O x molar mass

             Mass of H₂0 = 0.166 x ?

Molar mass of H₂O:

                 Atomic mass of H = 1g

                 Atomic mass of O = 16

 Molar mass of H₂O = (2x1) + 16 = 18gmol⁻¹

Mass of H₂O = 0.166 x 18 = 3.0g

6. 100 ml of gaseous hydrocarbon consumes 300
mario62 [17]

Answer:

  • <u><em>a. C₂H₄</em></u>

Explanation:

At constant pressure and temperature, the mole ratio of the gases is equal to their volume ratio (a consequence of Avogadro's law).

Hence, the <em>complete combustion reaction</em> that has a ratio of 100 ml of gaseous hydrocarbon to 300 ml of oxygen, is that whose mole ratio is 1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol of oxygen.

Then, you must write the balanced chemical equations for the complete combustion of the four hydrocarbons in the list of choices, and conclude which has such mole ratio (1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol oxygen).

A complete combustion reaction of a hydrocarbon is the reaction with oxygen that produces CO₂ and H₂O, along with the release of heat and light.

<u>a. C₂H₄:</u>

  • C₂H₄ (g) + 3O₂ (g) → 2CO₂(g)  + 2H₂O (g)

Precisely, for this reaction the mole ratio is 1 mol C₂H₄: 2 mol O₂, hence, this is the right choice.

The following analysis just shows that the other options are not right.

<u>b. C₂H₂:</u>

  • 2C₂H₂ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 4CO₂(g)  + 2H₂O (g)

The mole ratio for this reaction is 2 mol C₂H₂ :5 mol O₂.

<u>с. С₃Н₈</u>

  • C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂(g)  + 4H₂O (g)

The mole ratio is 1 mol C₃H₈ : 5 mol O₂

<u>d. C₂H₆</u>

  • 2C₂H₆ (g) +7 O₂ (g) → 4CO₂(g)  + 6H₂O (g)

The mole ratio is 2 mol C₂H₆ : 7 mol O₂
