Not necessarily.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Isomers might differ in polarities. They will end up with different physical properties such as melting points.

Example:

  • 1,2-dichlorobenzene  has a melting point of around -18 ~ -17 degrees celsius. (SynQuest)
  • 1,4-dichlorobenzene (with two chlorine opposite to each other on a benzene ring) has a melting point of 52 ~ 54 degrees celsius. (SynQuest)

Both 1,4- and 1,2-dichlorobenzene contains two chlorine atoms connected to a benzene ring. The two molecules are structural isomers.

The two chlorine atoms are adjacent to each other in the 1,2 isomer. The molecule is asymmetric and polar.

The two chlorine align with an axis of symmetry in the 1,4 isomer. The molecule is symmetric. The dipoles would cancel out to produce a nonpolar molecule.

Dipole-dipole interactions are typically stronger than <em>induced</em> dipole<em> </em>in isomers. As a result, the 1,2 isomer has a higher melting point.

A solution of aminoheptanoic acid, H2N-(CH2).COOH, in m-cresol at a concentration of 3.3 mol amino acid per kg of solution is po
garik1379 [7]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

       Concentration = 3.3 mol

      Rate constant = 2.74 \times 10^{3} kg/mol min

      Molecular weight = 55000 g/mol

      \tau = C_{A_{0}} \times \int_{0}^{X_{A}} \frac{dX_{A}}{-r_{A}}

Initial concentration (C_{A_{0}}) of aminoheptanoic is 3.3 kg/mol.

       -r_{A} = 2.74 \times 10^{3} kg/mol min

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

    \tau = C_{A_{0}}\times \int_{0}^{X_{A}} \frac{dX_{A}}{-r_{A}}

              = \frac{3.3}{2.74 \times 10^{3} kg/mol min} [X_{A}]^{0.1}_{0}

              = 120.43 min

Thus, we can conclude that total time required to to form polyamide is 120.43 min.

Answer:

Mass  = 8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of MgO formed  = 20 g

Mass of oxygen needed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Mg + O₂     →    2MgO

Number of moles of MgO:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 20 g/ 40 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.5 mol

Now we will compare the moles of MgO and O₂ from balance chemical equation:

                     MgO         :            O₂

                        2            :            1

                      0.5          :        1/2×0.5 = 0.25 mol

Mass of oxygen required:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of O₂  is 32 g/mol

Mass = 0.25 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 8 g
