Which of the forces of molecular attraction is the weakest?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Arturiano [62]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

  • The weak intermolecular forces which can arise either between nucleus and electrons or between electron-electron are known as dispersion forces. These forces are also known as London dispersion forces and these are temporary in nature.
  • Dipole-dipole interactions are defined as the interactions that occur when partial positive charge on an atom is attracted by partial negative charge on another atom.

For example, hydrocarbons show dispersion forces due to difference in the electronegativity of its combining atoms.

  • When a polar molecules produces a dipole on a non-polar molecule through distribution of electrons then it is known as dipole-induced forces.
  • Hydrogen bonding is defined as a bonding which exists between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom like O, N and F.
  • The electrostatic force of attraction which exists between an ion and a neutral molecule is known as ion-dipole interaction.

Order of some forces in the order of increasing strength is as follows.

 Dispersion forces < dipole-induced dipole < dipole-dipole < hydrogen bonding < ion-dipole  

Thus, we can conclude that dispersion forces of molecular attraction is the weakest.

Because the cell membrane (plasmamembrane) is a membrane. Very simply put, you can think of it like a piece of cloth. If you have a piece of cloth, water can move through the small holes, but something large, like e.g. a piece of cheese cannot.

Which of the following statements concerning the process of spontaneous folding of proteins is false?
Luda [366]

Answer:

(A) It may be an essentially random process.

Explanation:

The natural folding process of protein can be defective in several human infections and it usually comprises the initial generation of extremely compact state. It may also involve the systematical reduction in the range of conformational species and the initial generation of local structure. Therefore, the only false statement is option (A).

Mg(OH)2 + 2 HBr à MgBr2 + 2 H2O
AnnyKZ [126]

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the reaction is given as;

Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2 HBr (aq) → MgBr2 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

1. How many grams of MgBr2 will be produced from 18.3 grams of HBr?

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr produces 1 mol of  MgBr2

Converting to masses using;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

Molar mass of HBr = 80.91 g/mol

Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184.113 g/mol

This means;

(2 * 80.91 = 161.82g) of HBr produces (1 * 184.113 = 184.113g) MgBr2

18.3g would produce x

161.82 = 184.113

18.3 = x

x = (184.113 * 18.3 ) / 161.82 = 20.8 g

2. How many moles of H2O will be produced from 18.3 grams of HBr?

Converting the mass to mol;

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass = 18.3 / 80.91 = 0.226 mol

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr produces 2 mol of H2O

0.226 mol would produce x

2 =2

0.226 = x

x = 0.226 * 2 / 2 = 0.226 mol

3. How many grams of Mg(OH)2 are needed to completely react with 18.3 grams of HBr?

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr reacts with 1 mol of Mg(OH)2

18.3g of HBr =  0.226 mol

2 = 1

0.226 = x

x = 0.226 * 1 /2

x = 0.113 mol

g Tibet (altitude above sea level is 29,028 ft) has an atmospheric pressure of 240. mm Hg. Calculate the boiling point of water
Marina CMI [18]

<u>Answer:</u> The boiling point of water in Tibet is 69.9°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the boiling point of water in Tibet, we use the Clausius-Clayperon equation, which is:

\ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

P_1 = initial pressure which is the pressure at normal boiling point = 1 atm = 760 mmHg      (Conversion factor:  1 atm = 760 mmHg)

P_2 = final pressure = 240. mmHg

\Delta H_{vap} = Heat of vaporization = 40.7 kJ/mol = 40700 J/mol     (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

T_1 = initial temperature or normal boiling point of water = 100^oC=[100+273]K=373K

T_2 = final temperature = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\ln(\frac{240}{760})=\frac{40700J/mol}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{373}-\frac{1}{T_2}]\\\\-1.153=4895.36[\frac{T_2-373}{373T_2}]\\\\T_2=342.9K

Converting the temperature from kelvins to degree Celsius, by using the conversion factor:

T(K)=T(^oC)+273

342.9=T(^oC)+273\\T(^oC)=(342.9-273)=69.9^oC

Hence, the boiling point of water in Tibet is 69.9°C
