Place the following compounds in order of increasing vapor pressure. rubbing alcohol

1 answer:

7 0

Vapor pressure is the pressure which is exerted by the vapors of a liquid in equilibrium with the liquid. Vapor pressure depends on the boiling point; lower the boiling point higher will be the vapor pressure.

Based on the given compounds:

rubbing alcohol is polar and has the strongest intermolecular force of attraction followed by relatively polar ether and finally the non-polar propane.

The increasing order of boiling point will be:

propane < diethyl ether < rubbing alcohol

Thus, the increasing order of vapor pressure will be:

rubbing alcohol < diethyl ether < propane

Ans : F

What are nanochemicals and what are there uses?

NARA [144]

Nanochemicals can be defined as chemicals generated by using nanomaterials (materials that possess of size on nanometer dimensions). The nanochemicals are used in multiple different applications including chemical warfare, bicycle making, armor design and military weapons crafting. The most commonly used and observed nanochemicals are carbon nanotubes that are used a ton in industry for applications such as stronger materials (stronger bicycles).

Smart materials are exquisitely designed materials whose property(ies) can be modified with the use of an external stimulus such as temperature, stress, pH, and so on. Some examples of smart materials include shape memory materials, piezoelectric materials, ferrofluids, self-healing materials, and such. Applications involve memory pillows, memory based solar panels (for satellites), light sensitive glasses, and so on.

Specialized materials are made specifically to perform a specified task or function. Applications involve electronic equipment (high purity silicon & germanium), machine tools (high tungsten high carbon steel), dental filling (dental amalgam), and so on.

After 11.5 days, 12.5% of a sample of radon-222 that originally weighed 42g remains. What is the half-life of this isotope?

Bond [772]

Half-life is defined as the amount of time it takes a given quantity to decrease to half of its initial value. The equation to describe the decay is
Nt=N0(1/2) $^{t/t(1/2)}$ where N0 is the initial quantity, Nt is the remaining quantity after time t, t1/2 is the half-time. So work out the equation, t1/2 = t (-ln2)/ln(Nt/N0) = 11.5*(-ln2)/ln(12.5/100) = 3.83 days

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 182 mol of hydrogen gas and 86 mol of oxygen gas.

frutty [35]

Water has a chemical formula of H2O. This means that for every 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen, one mole of water will be formed.

Note that hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are both biatomic molecules.

(1) (182 mol H2) x (1 mol H2O/ 1 mol H2) = 182 mol H2O
(2) (86 mol O2) x (2 mol H2O / 1 mol O2) = 172 mol H2O

We choose the smaller number of the two as the answer to this item. Thus, the answer to this question is 172 mol of H2O can be formed out of the given quantities.

If a system has a reaction quotient of 2.13 ✕ 10−15 at 100°C, what will happen to the concentrations of COBr2, CO, and Br2 as th

qaws [65]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Consider the following equilibrium at 100°C.

$COBr_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Br_2(g)$

$K_c=4.74\times 10^4$

Concentration at equilibrium:

$[COBr_2]=1.58\times 10^{-6}M$

$[Co]=2.78\times 10^{-3}M$

$[Br_2]=2.51\times 10^{-5}M$

If a system has a reaction quotient of 2.13 × 10⁻¹⁵ at 100°c, what will happen to the concentrations of COBr₂, Co and Br₂ as the reaction proceeds to equilibrium?

Answer : The concentrations of Co and Br₂ decreases and the concentrations of COBr₂ increases.

Explanation :

Reaction quotient (Q) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$COBr_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Br_2(g)$

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

$Q=\frac{[CO][Br_2]}{[COBr_2]}$

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

$Q=\frac{(2.78\times 10^{-3})\times (2.51\times 10^{-5})}{(1.58\times 10^{-6})}=4.42\times 10^{-2}$

The given equilibrium constant value is, $K_c=4.74\times 10^4$

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

There are 3 conditions:

When $Q>K_c$ that means product > reactant. So, the reaction is reactant favored.

When $Q$ that means reactant > product. So, the reaction is product favored.

When $Q=K_c$ that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium.

From the above we conclude that, the $Q$ that means product < reactant. So, the reaction is product favored that means reaction must shift to the product (right) to be in equilibrium.

Hence, the concentrations of Co and Br₂ decreases and the concentrations of COBr₂ increases.
