Aqueous solutions of isopropyl alcohol are commonly sold as rubbing alcohol. The boiling point of isopropyl alcohol is 82.4 °C.

It evaporates readily from the surface of the skin. Ethylene glycol (CH2OHCH2OH) is sold as antifreeze/antiboil. The boiling point of ethylene glycol is 198 °C. The molecular masses of isopropyl alcohol and ethylene glycol are similar. Provide an explanation for the observed difference in their boiling points.

Answer:

This is due to more hydrogen bonding in ethylene glycol than it is in isopropyl alcohol

Explanation:

The boiling point of isopropyl alcohol is 82.4 °C it contains only a single OH group, hence intermolecular hydrogen bonding is solely responsible for it's boiling point, whereas Ethylene glycol (CH2OHCH2OH) contains 2-OH group and both intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding are responsible for the higher boiling point of ethylene glycol at 198 °C.

Calculate the pH of a solution with an H+ ion concentration of 9.36 x 10-3 M ?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The answer is 2.03

Explanation:

The pH of a solution can be found by using the formula

pH = - log [ {H}^{+} ]

where H+ is the Hydrogen ion concentration

From the question we have

pH =  -  log(9.36 \times  {10}^{ - 3} )  \\  = 2.02872415...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.03 </h3>

Hope this helps you

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the boiling of water, and exp
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

ΔH > 0; ΔS >0; ΔG = 0

Not spontaneous when T < 100 °C;

         Equilibrium when T = 100 °C

      Spontaneous when T > 100 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

The process is

H₂O(ℓ) ⇌ H₂O(g)

ΔH > 0 (positive), because we must <em>add heat</em> to boil water

ΔS > 0 (positive), because changing from a liquid to a gas i<em>ncreases the disorder </em>

ΔG = 0, because the liquid-vapour equilibrium process is at <em>equilibrium</em> at 100 °C

ΔG = ΔH – TΔS

Both ΔH and ΔS are positive.

If T = 100 °C, ΔG =0. ΔH = TΔS, and the system is at equilibrium.


If T < 100 °C, the ΔH term will predominate, because T has decreased below the equilibrium value.

ΔG > 0. The process is not spontaneous below 100 °C.


If T > 100 °C, the TΔS term will predominate, because T has increased above the equilibrium value.

ΔG < 0. The process is spontaneous above 100 °C.
