Answer:

Covalent

Explanation:

A molecule of C₂H₅OH has C-C, C-H, C-O, and O-H bonds.

A bond between A and B will be ionic if the difference between their electronegativities (ΔEN) is greater than 1.6.

$\begin{array}{ccc}\textbf{Bond} & \textbf{$\Delta$EN} & \textbf{Polarity}\\\text{C-C} & 2.55 - 2.55 = 0.00 & \text{Nonpolar covalent}\\\text{C-H} & 2.55 - 2.20 = 0.35 & \text{Nonpolar covalent}\\\text{C-O} & 3.44 - 2.55 = 0.89 & \text{Polar covalent}\\\text{O-H} & 3.44 - 2.20 = 1.24 & \text{Polar covalent}\\\end{array}$

No bond has a large enough ΔEN to be ionic.

C₂H₅OH is a covalent molecule.

Katena32 [7]

The correct answer is carbon dioxide and water vapor

These negative gasses get modified and then remain in the atmosphere without the possibility of leaving, which is why the greenhouse effect occurs.

4. A student purified a 500-mg sample of phthalic acid by recrystallization from water. The published solubility of phthalic aci

kupik [55]

Answer:

2.77 mL of boiling water is the minimum amount which will dissolve 500 mg of phthalic acid.

Explanation:

We know from the problem that 18 g of phthalic acid are dissolved in 100 mL of water at 99 °C.

Now we devise the following reasoning:

If 18 g of phthalic acid are dissolved in 100 mL of water at 99 °C

Then 0.5 g of phthalic acid are dissolved in X mL of water at 99 °C

X = (0.5 × 100) / 18 = 2.77 mL of water

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

At the end of the reaction you will have a solution of the alcohol in THF.

The microdistillation procedure will vary, depending on the specific apparatus you are using, but here is a typical procedure.

Transfer the solution to a conical vial.
Add a boiling stone.
Attach a Hickman head (shown below) and condenser.
Place the assembly in in the appropriate hole of an aluminium block on top of a hotplate stirrer.
Begin stirring and heating at a low level so the THF (bp 63 °C) can distill slowly.
Use a Pasteur pipet to withdraw the THF as needed.
When all the THF has been removed, raise the temperature of the Al block and distill the alcohol (bp 143 °C).
