What is the difference between pure and applied chemistry?

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The major difference between pure and applied chemistry is the purpose and intent of the study.

Pure chemistry deals with the study of matter, matter transformations, and interactions between the different materials of the world, for only the sake of gaining empirical knowledge about the various substances that exist in the world. It does not really seek to apply this knowledge to do anything industrial.

Applied chemistry is the study of chemistry with the aim of utilizing this knowledge to solve the various problems that man faces. This approach of study is not for knowledge sake alone, rather it is for industrial application

Draw the Lewis structure for methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) in the box below. Then predict which would have the higher boiling

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Ethane would have a higher boiling point.

Explanation:

In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have 8 electrons (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have 4 valence electrons, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.

Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an additional carbon. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have more area of interaction for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give more energy to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.

I hope it helps!

Arrange the molecules H2O, NH3, Ar, NaCl in order of expected increasing boiling points. 1. None of these 2. NaCl, H2O, NH3, Ar

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Option (4) is correct

Explanation:

NaCl is an ionic solid. $Na^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ions are held together by strong coloumbic attractive force. Hence NaCl has highest boiling point'
Ar is a monoatomic molecule. Hence only weak london dispersion force exists between Ar atom/molecules. Hence it requires lowest amount of energy to boil and thereby possess lowest boiling point.
$NH_{3}$ and $H_{2}O$ are polar protic molecules. Hence they possess london dispersion force, dipole-dipole force and hydrogen bonding as intermolecular forces.
Dipole-dipole force is stronger in $H_{2}O$ than $NH_{3}$ due to more polar O-H bond than N-H bond. Also molecular weight of $H_{2}O$ is higher than $NH_{3}$ . So, more energy is required to boil $H_{2}O$ . So, $H_{2}O$ has higher boiling point than $NH_{3}$

Hence order of boiling point : $NaCl>H_{2}O>NH_{3}>Ar$
