Why methanol is soluble in acetone

Why methanol is soluble in acetone? This is a great question. The reason why methanol is soluble is a acetone is mainly because it is "Non-polar". Non-polar is what makes the acetone soluble to methanol. So it can basically go in circles.

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

While ethanol is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene with water vapor at elevated temperatures.

A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 1.5 L flask at 12°C with 1.8 atm of ethylene gas and 4.7 atm of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 1.16 atm of ethylene gas and 4.06 atm of water vapor.

The engineer then adds another 1.2 atm of ethylene, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer: The partial pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time is 1.0 atm

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial partial pressure of ethylene gas = 1.8 atm

Initial partial pressure of water vapor = 4.7 atm

Equilibrium partial pressure of ethylene gas = 1.16 atm

Equilibrium partial pressure of water vapor = 4.06 atm

The chemical equation for the reaction of ethylene gas and water vapor follows:

$CH_2CH_2(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH(g)$

Initial: 1.8 4.7

At eqllm: 1.8-x 4.7-x

Evaluating the value of 'x'

$\Rightarrow (1.8-x)=1.16\\\\x=0.64$

The expression of $K_p$ for above equation follows:

$K_p=\frac{p_{CH_3CH_2OH}}{p_{CH_2CH_2}\times p_{H_2O}}$

$p_{CH_2CH_2}=1.16atm\\p_{H_2O}=4.06atm\\p_{CH_3CH_2OH}=0.64atm$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_p=\frac{0.64}{1.16\times 4.06}\\\\K_p=0.136$

When more ethylene is added, the equilibrium gets re-established.

Partial pressure of ethylene added = 1.2 atm

$CH_2CH_2(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH(g)$

Initial: 2.36 4.06 0.64

At eqllm: 2.36-x 4.06-x 0.64+x

Putting value in the equilibrium constant expression, we get:

$0.136=\frac{(0.64+x)}{(2.36-x)\times (4.06-x)}\\\\x=0.363,13.41$

Neglecting the value of x = 13.41 because equilibrium partial pressure of ethylene and water vapor will become negative, which is not possible.

So, equilibrium partial pressure of ethanol = (0.64 + x) = (0.64 + 0.363) = 1.003 atm

Hence, the partial pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time is 1.0 atm

New questionWhat mass of calcium chloride (CaCl₂) would beproduced from the reaction of 125.9 g of hydrochloriacid (HCI) with ex

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

191.6 g of CaCl₂.

Explanation:

What is given?

Mass of HCl = 125.9 g.

Molar mass of CaCl₂ = 110.8 g/mol.

Molar mass of HCl = 36.4 g/mol.

Step-by-step solution:

First, we have to state the chemical equation. Ca(OH)₂ react with HCl to produce CaCl₂:

$Ca(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+2H_2O.$

Now, let's convert 125.9 g of HCl to moles using the given molar mass (remember that the molar mass of a compound can be found using the periodic table). The conversion will look like this:

$125.9\text{ g HCl}\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol HCl}}{36.4\text{ g HCl}}=3.459\text{ moles HCl.}$

Let's find how many moles of CaCl₂ are being produced by 3.459 moles of HCl. You can see in the chemical equation that 2 moles of HCl reacted with excess Ca(OH)₂ produces 1 mol of CaCl₂, so we state a rule of three and the calculation is:

$3.459\text{ moles HCl}\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol CaCl}_2}{2\text{ moles HCl}}=1.729\text{ moles CaCl}_2.$

The final step is to find the mass of CaCl₂ using the molar mass of CaCl₂. This conversion will look like this:

$1.729\text{ moles CaCl}_2\cdot\frac{110.8\text{ g CaCl}_2}{1\text{ mol CaCl}_2}=191.6\text{ g CaCl}_2.$

The answer would be that we're producing a mass of 191.6 g of CaCl₂.

Which of the following is not an example of a polymer?

Nady [450]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. It is amino acid that is not an example of a polymer. It is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits. Hope this answers the question.

Why do you elements in the same group have similar properties

lozanna [386]

Answer:

They have similar properties, because they share similar amounts of electrons in their outer shell, valence electrons! This means they will only be able to interact with other elements with those electrons so they often show similar properties.
