Explain why mineral oil which is a mixture of hydrocarbons does not dissolve in water

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mkey [24]3 years ago
3 0
Oil molecules like to stick to other oil molecules more than they like to stick to water molecules. This is because mineral oil has nonpolar molecules and water has polar ones.

Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of dichromate ion cr2o−27 to chromium ion cr 3 in basic aqueous solution. be su
jasenka [17]
Half reaction: Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq) + 7H₂O(l) + 6e⁻ → 2Cr³⁺(aq) + 14OH⁻(aq).
Chromium change oxidation number from +6 in dichromate ion Cr₂O₇²⁻ to +3 in chromium cation.
Sum of the charges on the left side of the half reaction is -2 and on the left side is -8 (2·(+3) +14·(-1)), so six electrons must be added on the left side of half reaction.

3. What causes hydrogen bonding?
Fudgin [204]
Hydrogen bonding occurs between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom (e.g., oxygen, fluorine, chlorine). The bond is weaker than an ionic bond or a covalent bond, but stronger than van der Waals forces (5 to 30 kJ/mol). A hydrogen bond is classified as a type of weak chemical bond.

An oxide of nitrogen contains 30.45 mass % N.
N76 [4]

An oxide of nitrogen contains 30.45 mass % N, if the molar mass is 90± 5 g/mol the molecular formula is N₂O₄.

<h3>What is molar mass?</h3>

The molar mass of a chemical compound is determined by dividing its mass by the quantity of that compound, expressed as the number of moles in the sample, measured in moles. A substance's molar mass is one of its properties. The compound's molar mass is an average over numerous samples, which frequently have different masses because of isotopes.

<h3>How to find the molecular formula?</h3>

The whole-number multiple is defined as follows.

Whole-number multiple = \frac{molar mass (g/mol)}{empirical formula mass (g/mol)}

The empirical formula mass is shown below.

Mw of empirical formula = Mw of N+ 2 x (Mw of O)

                                      = 14.01 g/mol + 2 x (16.00 g/mol)

                                      = 46.01 g/mol

With the given molar mass or the molecular formula mass, we can get the whole-number multiple for the compound.

Whole-number multiple = \frac{90 g/mol }{46.01 g/mol} ≈ 2

Multiplying the subscripts of NO2 by 2, the molecular formula is N(1x2)O(2x2)= N2O4.
