Chemistry

Rudik [331]2 years ago

7 0

Answer:

water is H2O having different structure than alcohol R-OH which means they have different properties too.

Explanation:

In water one oxygen atom is covalently bound with two hydrogen atoms while alcohol is an organic compound having Oh group attached to the carbon chain.

Other than liquid water can occur in solid form that is ice and in gaseous form that is vapors too while alcohol only present in liquid form.

heat of evaporation of alcohol is lower than water means water need more heat to evaporate than alcohol that is why we can say alcohol having more cooling effect than water.

What is the molarity of a 1.44 (m/v)% solution of an HCOOOH (Formic acid)?

AlexFokin [52]

This problem is providing the mass-volume percent of a formic acid solution so its molarity is required and found to be 0.313 M after the following calculations.

<h3>Molarity</h3>

In chemistry, units of concentration provide a measurable understanding of the relationship between the relative amounts of both solute and solvent. In the case of molarity, one must relate moles of solute and liters of solution as follows:

$M=\frac{mol\ solute}{Volume\ solution \ in \ L}$

In such a way, when given this mass-volume percent of 1.44% for the formic acid in the solution, one can assume there is 100 mL of solution and 1.44 g of solute (formic acid), which means one must convert the volume to liters and the mass to moles with:

$mol\ solute=\frac{1.44g}{46.03g/mol} =0.0313mol\\\\Volume\ in \liters: 100mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}=0.100L$

Finally, we plug in these numbers in the equation for the calculation of molarity:

$M=\frac{0.0313mol}{0.100L}\\\\M=0.313M$

A 0.55 g sample of H20 contains how many<br>molecules of water?<br>Answer in units of molec.

noname [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Num of molecules = num of moles * Avogadro's constant (6.02* 10^23)

But num of moles = reacting mass / molar mass

Molar mass of H20= 2*1 + 16 = 2+16 = 18g

Reacting mass of H20 = 0.55g

Therefore, num of moles of H20 = 0.55g/18g = 0.031 moles

Therefore, num of molecules of H20 = 0.031 * 6.02*10^23

= 1.87*10^22 molecules of H20

What are the starting materials in a chemical reaction called?

Irina18 [472]

A chemical reaction is the process in which atoms present in the starting substances rearrange to give new chemical combinations present in the substances formed by the reaction. These starting substances of a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the new substances that result are called the products.
