Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?

The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
 Hope this helps :)

The following boiling points correspond to the substances listed. Match the boiling points to the substances by considering the
Julli [10]

Answer:

CH₄                                - 162 ⁸C

CH₃CH₃                          -88.5 ⁸C

(CH₃)₂ CHCH₂CH₃         28 ⁸C

CH₃3(CH2)₃CH₃             36 ⁸C

CH₃OH                           64.5 ⁸C

CH₃CH₂OH                     78.3 ⁸C

CH₃CHOHCH₃                82.5 ⁸C

C₅H₉OH                         140 ⁸C

C₆H₅CH₂OH                   205 ⁸C

HOCH₂CHOHCH₂OH    290 ⁸C

Explanation:

To answer this question we need first to understand that for organic compounds:

a. Non polar compounds have lower boiling points than polar ones of similar structure and molecular weight.

b. Boiling points increase with molecular weight.  In alkane compounds if we compare  isomers, the  straight chain isomer will have a higher boiling point than the branched one (s) because of London dispersion intermolecular forces.

a. The introduction of hydroxyl groups increase the intermolecular forces and hence the boiling points because the electronegative oxygen, and, more importantly the presence  of hydrogen bonds.

Considering the observations above, we can match the boiling points as follows:

CH₄                                - 162 ⁸C

CH₃CH₃                          -88.5 ⁸C

(CH₃)₂ CHCH₂CH₃         28 ⁸C

CH₃3(CH2)₃CH₃             36 ⁸C

CH₃OH                           64.5 ⁸C

CH₃CH₂OH                     78.3 ⁸C

CH₃CHOHCH₃                82.5 ⁸C

C₅H₉OH                         140 ⁸C

C₆H₅CH₂OH                   205 ⁸C

HOCH₂CHOHCH₂OH    290 ⁸C

Note: There was a mistake in the symbols used for the  162 and 88.5 values which are negative and correspond to the common gases methane and ethane

When explaining chemical reactions to a friend, Brianna models a reaction by taking several colors of modeling clay and making a
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is one that involves the combination of more than one reactants to form a single product. This is directly opposite to a decomposition reaction where a complex compound is broken down into various products.

Examples of synthesis reaction are;

1. The combination of sodium with chlorine to form sodium chloride.

2. The combination of hydrogen and oxygen to form water

so explaining what Brianna did, the models of clay are the reactants coming together to form a single product which is the sculpture.

What’s the difference between an ester and an amide
Rufina [12.5K]

In amides, the carbonyl carbon is bonded to a nitrogen. The nitrogen in an amide can be bonded either to hydrogens, to carbons, or to both. ... Another way of thinking of an ester is that it is a carbonyl bonded to an alcohol. Thioesters are similar to esters, except a sulfur is in place of the oxygen.

Methane is the main component of natural gas. Using the given reaction enthalpy, calculate the heat energy produced by the combu
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: The heat energy produced is 53831.25KJ

Explanation:

METHANE is the main component of natural gas. It can undergo combustion reaction in air with a bright blue flame to produce carbondioxide and water. The heat of reaction (enthalpy) is negative because heat is absorbed during the chemical reaction. To calculate the heat energy produced by the combustion of one kilogram (1 kg) of methane the following steps are taken:

Molecular mass of methane =16 gm/mol.

So moles of 1 kg methane =

Given mass of methane ÷ molecular weight of methane

But the given mass = 1kg = 1000g

Therefore,

moles of 1000g methane = 1000÷16

= 62.5 moles

Hence, energy evolved = (moles of methane) × (heat of combustion)

Therefore,

heat energy produced= 62.5 × (-861.3kj)

= -53831.25kj
