Answer:

Water has the strongest inter-molecular forces.

Explanation:

As given that water and ammonia both are polar however water is liquid and ammonia is a gas at room temperature.

Let us understand the difference between solid, liquid and gas.

The three states differ from each other due to

a) inter-molecular forces of attraction (the force of attraction between two molecules of same or different substance).

b) the thermal energy of molecules.

In case of solids the inter-molecular forces are maximum and the thermal energy is least. So the molecules are held strong with each other and does not move here and there.

In case of liquid and gas, the inter-molecular forces of attraction are stronger in liquid as compared to gas while thermal energy of gas molecules is more.

In water, the oxygen atom is more electro-negative than nitrogen of ammonia. This makes water molecular more polar.

Answer:

Me and my friends were going to do a science experiment. Jonny’s job was to make the HYPOTHESIS. He said the “ If we mix baking soda and vinegar together, the TEMPERATURE will go down.”

So then Molly mixed the baking soda and vinegar together and checked the TEMPERATURE. We all OBSERVED as the thermometer’s TEMPERATURE went down. “ your THEORY/ HYPOTHESIS was correct!” Exclaimed Molly.

Then the whole science GROUP let out with a cheer! And wrote the information down on their EXPERIMENTAL info chart. They took a microscope and looked at the mixture because they wanted to the the little PARTICLES in the mixture. Lily CONTROLED the microscope she zoomed in and out to see the particles.

Which is the correct statement regarding the relative Rf values of the starting methyl benzoate vs the product, methyl m-nitrobe
Marianna [84]

Answer:

1. The product has a higher Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate because it is more polar than the starting methyl benzoate.

2. False

3. True

Explanation:

In chromatography, there is a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The ratio of the distance moved by a component and the distance moved by the solvent gives the retention factor (Rf).

Since silica gel is a polar solvent, it will retain the more polar product methyl m-nitrobenzoate compared to the methyl benzoate starting material.

In comparing the electrophillic aromatic substitution of m-nitrobenzoate  and methyl benzoate, we must remember that the presence of electron withdrawing groups (such as -NO2 and -CHO) on the aromatic compound deactivates the compound towards electrophillic aromatic substitution hence, methyl m-nitrobenzoate is less reactive than methyl benzoate in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition and Methyl benzoate is less reactive than benzene in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when equal volumes of 0.546 M aqueous acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) a
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

C_9H_8O_4+C_2H_3O_2^-\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+C_9H_7O_4^-

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to figure out the required net ionic equation by firstly writing out the complete molecular equation between aspirin and sodium acetate:

C_9H_8O_4+NaC_2H_3O_2\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+NaC_9H_7O_4

Whereas acetic acid and sodium acetylsalicylate are formed. Now, we write the complete ionic equation whereby sodium acetate and sodium acetylsalicylate are ionized because they are salts yet neither aspirin nor acetic acid are ionized as they are weak acids:

C_9H_8O_4+Na^++C_2H_3O_2^-\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+Na^++C_9H_7O_4^-

Finally, for the net ionic equation we cancel out the sodium spectator ions to obtain:

C_9H_8O_4+C_2H_3O_2^-\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+C_9H_7O_4^-

Regards!
