Answer: Thus 663 J of heat is released when 27.6 g cools from 83.1 °C to 55.6 °C
Explanation:
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.
Q = Heat released = ?
m = mass of substance = 27.6 g
C = specific heat capacity =
Initial temperature= =
Final temperature = =
Change in temperature ,
Putting in the values, we get:
As the value of q is negative, it means the heat has been released and it is 663J
Answer:
Ether is used as a solvent because it is aprotic and can solvate the magnesium ion.
Explanation:
Solubility in Water
Because ethers are polar, they are more soluble in water than alkanes of a similar molecular weight. The slight solubility of ethers in water results from hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen atoms of water molecules and the lone pair electrons of the oxygen atom of ether molecules.
Ethers as Solvents
Ethers such as diethyl ether dissolve a wide range of polar and nonpolar organic compounds. Nonpolar compounds are generally more soluble in diethyl ether than alcohols because ethers do not have a hydrogen bonding network that must be broken up to dissolve the solute. Because diethyl ether has a moderate dipole moment, polar substances dissolve readily in it.
Ethers are aprotic. Thus, basic substances, such as Grignard reagents, can be prepared in diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran. These ethers solvate the magnesium ion, which is coordinated to the lone pair electrons of diethyl ether or THF. Figure attached, shows the solvation of a Grignard reagent with dietheyl ether.
The lone pair electrons of an ether also stabilize electron deficient species such as BF3 and borane (BH3). For example, the borane-THF complex is used in the hydroboration of alkenes (Section 1
