Which statement is true regarding methane and ammonia?

2 answers:

6 0

The options for given question are as follow,

1) Methane molecules show hydrogen bonding.
2) Ammonia molecules show hydrogen bonding. 
3) Methane has stronger hydrogen bonding than ammonia. 
4) Both the compounds do not show hydrogen bonding. 
5) Both the compounds have strong hydrogen bonding.

Answer:
Correct answer is Option-2 (Ammonia molecules show hydrogen bonding).

Explanation:
Hydrogen bond interactions are formed when a partial positive hydrogen atom attached to most electronegative atom of one molecule interacts with the partial negative most electronegative element of another molecule. So, in Ammonia hydrogen gets partial positive charge as nitrogen is highly electronegative. While the C-H bond in Methane is non-polar and fails to form hydrogen bond interactions.

Draw the product formed when 2-butanol undergoes reaction with TsCl and Et3N. CH3C6H4SO2Cl.

Pie

Answer:

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, the reaction between 2-butanol with TsCl and Et3N is known as the tosylation of the alcohol hydroxyl group. Alcohol is being changed to tosylate by the use of tosyl chloride under the influence of a base. Tosylation of alcohol is an example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction. From the image attached below, we will see how the reaction between 2-butanol proceed into the product by using tosyl chloride and a base(Et3N).

On average, Earth’s crust contains about 8.1% aluminum by mass. If a standard 12-ounce soft drink can contains approximately 15

MrMuchimi

Answer:

5400 cans

Explanation:

First we convert the total weight, 1 ton, to grams:

$1ton=1x10^{6}g$

Now we need to know the mass of aluminum:

$m_{Al}=\frac{10^{6}*8.1}{100} =81000g$

Now we make the relation between the mass of aluminum in 1 ton of the earth's crust and the mass of aluminum per can:

$n=\frac{81000g}{15g/can} =5400cans$

Describe endothermic vs. exothermic reactions in terms of product formation. (hint: what happens when products are formed?)

shusha [124]

Answer:

Endothermic reaction chemical equation

Reactnt A + Reactant B + Heat (energy) ⇒ Products

Exothermic reaction chemical equation

Reactnt A + Reactant B ⇒ Products + Heat (energy)

Explanation:

Endothermic Reaction

An endothermic reaction is a reaction that reaction that requires heat before it would take place resulting in the absorption of heat from the surrounding that can be sensed by the coolness of the reacting system

An example of an endothermic reaction is a chemical cold pack that becomes cold when the chemical and water inside it reacts

Exothermic Reaction

An exothermic reaction is one that rekeases energy to the surroundings when it takes place. This is as a result of the fact that the combined heat energy of the reactants is more than the chemical heat energy of the products. An example of an exothermic reaction is a burning candle
