Chemistry

Explanation:

A molecular compound is a compound in which atoms share electrons with each other and thus, forms covalent bonds. As a result, molecular compounds are covalent compounds.

In the compound C_{3}H_{8}, since hydrogen atom has only one electron and carbon atom has 4 electrons in its valence shell. So, in order to completely fill its octet both carbon and hydrogen will share electrons with each other.

Therefore, C_{3}H_{8} is a covalent compound. Hence, it is also a molecular compound.

In MgCl_{2}, magnesium being a metal has excess of electrons and chlorine being a non-metal has deficiency of electrons. Thus, magnesium donates its two electrons to both the chlorine atoms and forms an ionic bond.

Hence, MgCl_{2} is an ionic compound. Thus, it is not a molecular compound.

In OCl_{2}, both oxygen and chlorine are non-metals. Hence, they have deficiency of electrons. As a result, both oxygen and chlorine will share electrons in order to complete their octet.

So, there will be formation of covalent bonds. Thus, OCl_{2} is a molecular compound.

Zn(NO_{3})_{2} is an inorganic compound and dissolves in water to form ions of Zn^{2+} and NO^{-}_{3}. Hence, Zn(NO_{3})_{2} is an ionic compound.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, C_{3}H_{8} and OCl_{2} exists as molecules.

The answer is C3H8 and OCl2  they are molecular compounds. MgCl2 is an ionic compound while Zn(NO3)2 is an inorganic chemical compound. 
Molecular compounds are covalent compounds in which the elements share electrons via covalent bonds. They are inorganic compounds that take the form of discrete molecules, for example water and carbon dioxide.

1) How many molecules are there in 985 mL of nitrogen at 0.0° C and 1.00 x 10-6 mm Hg?
RSB [31]

Answer : The number of molecules present in nitrogen gas are, 3.48\times 10^{13}

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of nitrogen gas by using ideal gas equation.

PV=nRT

where,

P = Pressure of N_2 gas = 1.00\times 10^{-6}mmHg=1.32\times 10^{-9}atm      (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of N_2 gas = 985 mL = 0.982 L    (1 L = 1000 mL)

n = number of moles N_2 = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0821L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of N_2 gas = 0.0^oC=273+0.0=273K

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

(1.32\times 10^{-9}atm)\times 0.982L=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 273K

n=5.78\times 10^{-11}mol

Now we have to calculate the number of molecules present in nitrogen gas.

As we know that 1 mole of substance contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of molecules.

As, 1 mole of N_2 gas contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of molecules

So, 5.78\times 10^{-11} mole of N_2 gas contains (5.78\times 10^{-11})\times (6.022\times 10^{23})=3.48\times 10^{13} number of molecules

Therefore, the number of molecules present in nitrogen gas are, 3.48\times 10^{13}

Find the amount of heat energy needed to convert 400 grams of ice at -38°C to steam at 160°C.
Marianna [84]

The amount of heat energy needed to convert 400 g of ice at -38 °C to steam at 160 °C is 1.28×10⁶ J (Option D)

<h3>How to determine the heat required change the temperature from –38 °C to 0 °C </h3>
  • Mass (M) = 400 g = 400 / 1000 = 0.4 Kg
  • Initial temperature (T₁) = –25 °C
  • Final temperature (T₂) = 0 °
  • Change in temperature (ΔT) = 0 – (–38) = 38 °C
  • Specific heat capacity (C) = 2050 J/(kg·°C)
  • Heat (Q₁) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q₁ = 0.4 × 2050 × 38

Q₁ = 31160 J

<h3>How to determine the heat required to melt the ice at 0 °C</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 0.4 Kg
  • Latent heat of fusion (L) = 334 KJ/Kg = 334 × 1000 = 334000 J/Kg
  • Heat (Q₂) =?

Q = mL

Q₂ = 0.4 × 334000

Q₂ = 133600 J

<h3>How to determine the heat required to change the temperature from 0 °C to 100 °C </h3>
  • Mass (M) = 0.4 Kg
  • Initial temperature (T₁) = 0 °C
  • Final temperature (T₂) = 100 °C
  • Change in temperature (ΔT) = 100 – 0 = 100 °C
  • Specific heat capacity (C) = 4180 J/(kg·°C)
  • Heat (Q₃) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q₃ = 0.4 × 4180 × 100

Q₃ = 167200 J

<h3>How to determine the heat required to vaporize the water at 100 °C</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 0.4 Kg
  • Latent heat of vaporisation (Hv) = 2260 KJ/Kg = 2260 × 1000 = 2260000 J/Kg
  • Heat (Q₄) =?

Q = mHv

Q₄ = 0.4 × 2260000

Q₄ = 904000 J

<h3>How to determine the heat required to change the temperature from 100 °C to 160 °C </h3>
  • Mass (M) = 0.4 Kg
  • Initial temperature (T₁) = 100 °C
  • Final temperature (T₂) = 160 °C
  • Change in temperature (ΔT) = 160 – 100 = 60 °C
  • Specific heat capacity (C) = 1996 J/(kg·°C)
  • Heat (Q₅) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q₅ = 0.4 × 1996 × 60

Q₅ = 47904 J

<h3>How to determine the heat required to change the temperature from –38 °C to 160 °C</h3>
  • Heat for –38 °C to 0°C (Q₁) = 31160 J
  • Heat for melting (Q₂) = 133600 J
  • Heat for 0 °C to 100 °C (Q₃) = 167200 J
  • Heat for vaporization (Q₄) = 904000 J
  • Heat for 100 °C to 160 °C (Q₅) = 47904 J
  • Heat for –38 °C to 160 °C (Qₜ) =?

Qₜ = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃ + Q₄ + Q₅

Qₜ = 31160 + 133600 + 167200 + 904000 + 47904

Qₜ = 1.28×10⁶ J

The proper name for a carbohydrate polymer with 2 subunits is
valentina_108 [34]
Carbohydrates are classified in three major categories depending upon the number of sub units joining to form them. These are,

                                                Monosaccharides

                                                Oligosaccharides

                                                Polysachharides

The simplest single units are monosaccharides, if units are ranging between two and twenty they are called oligosaccharides and above twenty joining units they are called polysachharides.

Result:
          <span>The proper name for a carbohydrate polymer with 2 subunits is called Oligosachharide in general and Disaccharide in specific.</span>
