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>

aksik [14]

Answer

A)The volume decreases by a factor of 4

B), the volume has increased by factor of 2

Explanation:

A)Given:

P1= 760Kpa

P2 =202Kpa

The temperature changes from37C to155C

There is increase In pressure from P1 to P2

P1= 760torr.

We need to convert to Kpa

But, 1atm= 760torr

Then 760torr 101000pa

Then 101000pa = 101Kpa

We need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin

T1= 37+273= 310K

But from ideal gas, we know that PV = nRT where nR is constant

Where P= pressure

V= volume

T= temperature

n = number of moles

(P1V1/T1)=(P2V2/T2)

V1/V2 = P2/P1 * T1/T2

V1/V2 = (202/101)*(310/155)

V1/V2=4

V2= V1/4

Therefore, the volume has decreased by factor of 4

B)

Given:

P1= 2atm

P2 =101Kpa

The temperature changes from 305K to 32C

There is increase In pressure from P1 to P2

P1= 2atm

We need to convert to Kpa

But, 1atm= 760torr

Then 760torr 101000pa

Then 101000pa = 101Kpa

P1= 202.65kpa

We need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin

T2= 32+273= 305K

But from ideal gas, we know that PV = nRT

Where P= pressure

V= volume

T= temperature

n = number of moles

(P1V1/T1)=(P2V2/T2)

V1/V2 = P2/P1 * T1/T2

V1/V2 = (202/101)

V1/V2 = (101/202.65)*(305/305)

V1/V2 = 1/2

V2=2V1

Therefore, the volume has increased by factor of 2

The empirical formula is:
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

C. the relative number of atoms of each element, using the lowest whole ratio.

Explanation:

The empirical formula is how we simplify the whole formula to simplify it to its smallest indivisible parts.

It is definitely not the actual number of atoms. If you see an empirical formula, don't think that it's the full thing.

It is also not a representation of a compound to show its atoms' arrangement: this would be a Lewis dot structure, or a ball and stick model, or something similar. We don't use the empirical formula for this purpose.

HELP PLEASE!! (100 points)
MrRa [10]

Answer:

As you cool a matter to absolute zero, their kinetic energy reduces significantly and the molecules slows down and begins to aggregate together. ... As heat is added, the molecules gain more kinetic energy. This shown in their increase motion. When heat is withdrawn, the particles slows down hope this helped
