Explanation:

  • As it is given that boiling point of propanamide is very high. So, reason for this is that easy formation of hydrogen bonds which are strong enough that we have to provide large amount of heat to break it.

As in -NH_{2}, the hydrogen atoms which are present are positive in nature. Due to this they are able to form hydrogen bonds with the neighboring oxygen atom.

Hence, these bonds are so strong that high heat needs to given to break them.

  • A propanoic acid contain carboxylic group as the functional group. So, this group is also able to form hydrogen bonding as it forms a hydrogen bond between an acid group and hydroxyl group of neighboring molecule.

Hence, it will also require high heat to break the bond due to which there will be increase in boiling point.

  • In propanal, there is presence of aldehyde functional group and three carbon atoms chain which will not form strong bonding with the hydrogen atom of CHO. Due to this there will exist weak Vander waal's force that is not at all strong enough.

As a result, less energy will be needed to break the bonds in propanal. Hence, it has very low boiling point.

A salt wedge forms in an estuary because
kherson [118]

Answer:

a rapidly flowing river discharges into the ocean where tidal currents are weak.

Explanation:

The force of the river pushing fresh water out to sea rather than tidal currents transporting seawater upstream determines the water circulation in these estuaries.

An x would represent the gained electrons
A . Would represent the valence electrons
You would just draw [ ] around the diagram
And the charge should be placed outside the brackets

The standard molar heat of fusion of ice is 6020 j/mol. calculate q, w, and ∆e for melting 1.00 mol of ice at 0◦c and 1.00 atm p
zysi [14]

Answer :    q = 6020 J, w = -6020 J, Δe = 0

Solution : Given,

Molar heat of fusion of ice = 6020 J/mole

Number of moles = 1 mole

Pressure = 1 atm

Molar heat of fusion : It is defined as the amount of energy required to melt 1 mole of a substance at its melting point. There is no temperature change.

The relation between heat and molar heat of fusion is,

q=\Delta H_{fusion}(\frac{Mass}{\text{ Molar mass}})  (in terms of mass)

or, q=\Delta H_{fusion}\times Moles     (in terms of moles)

Now we have to calculate the value of q.

q=6020J/mole\times 1Mole=6020J

When temperature is constant then the system behaves isothermally and Δe is a temperature dependent variable.

So, the value of \Delta e=0

Now we have to calculate the value of w.

Formula used :    \Delta e=q+w

where, q is heat required, w is work done and \Delta e is internal energy.

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get

0=6020J+w

w = -6020 J

Therefore, q = 6020 J, w = -6020 J, Δe = 0
