How does the carbon chain length affect the polarity of an alcohol? What effect does this have on the solubility of the alcohol

in a polar vs. a nonpolar solvent?

<span>Alchols are slightly polar molecules due to their hydroxyl group. If you increase the length of the carbon chain, you are actually increasing the nonpolar domain of the molecule. the C-H bonds that make up the carbon chain are nonpolar. Therefore, as you add more, you essentially "dilute" the polarity of the hydroxyl group and are left with a more and more nonpolar molecule, which becomes less soluble. </span>

Vinvika [58]
A polyatomic ion, also known as a molecular ion, is a charged chemical species (ion) composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded or of a metal complex that can be considered to be acting as a single unit. The prefix poly- means "many," in Greek, but even ions of two atoms are commonly referred to as polyatomic

What is the molality of an aqueous solution that contains 29.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) dissolved in 950 g of water (H2O)?
Gnesinka [82]
Molality is one way of expressing concentration of a solute in a solution. It is expressed as the mole of solute per kilogram of the solvent. To calculate for the molality of the given solution, we need to convert the mass of solute into moles and divide it to the mass of the solvent.

Molality = 29.5 g glucose (1 mol / 180.16 g ) / .950 kg water
Molality = 0.1724 mol / kg

When heat is applied gradually and evenly to solid ice at 0 Celsius, it melts. Does the temperature change while it is melting t
serious [3.7K]

No, the added heat melts the ice, but the result is water at the same temperature. Hence, option B is correct.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

The degree of hotness or coldness is measured on a definite scale.

Temperature doesn't change as heat is added during a phase change; for example, when the ice melts.

During the phase change, the added heat doesn't make the molecules move faster, but rather further apart.

Thus, No, the added heat melts the ice, but the result is water at the same temperature.
