Answer:

The approximate molar mass of lauryl alcohol is 174.08 g/m

Explanation:

An excersise to apply the colligative property of Freezing-point depression.

This is the formula: ΔT = Kf . m

First of all, think the T° of fusion of benzene → 5.5°C

ΔT = T° pure solvent - T° fusion solution

Kf for benzene: 5.12 °C/m

5.5°C - 4.5°C = 5.12 °C /m  . m

1°C /  5.12 m /°C = m

0.195 m = molality

This moles of lauryl alcohol, solute, are in 1 kg of benzene, solvent.

I have to find out in 0.2 kg.

1 kg sv ____ 0.195 moles solute

0.2 kg sv ____ (0.195 . 0.2)/1 = 0.039 moles solute

The mass for these moles is 6.80 g, so if I want to know the molar mass, I have to divide mass / moles

6.80 g/ 0.039 moles = 174.08 g/m

Does covalency fail in explaining the formation of BeCl2 and PCl5? Explain
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Yes , covalency fails to explain the formation of BeCl₂ and PCl₅.

Explanation:

covalent bonds are formed between two atoms  by sharing of outermost electrons in order to attain octet for attaining stability . To octet means to attain 8 electrons in their outermost orbit .

BeCl₂ :

Be has two electrons in its outermost orbit and each of Cl has 7 electrons .

Each of Cl shares one electron each with each of two electrons of Be . Cl atoms attain 8 electrons as octet . But Be attains only 4 electrons ( 2 of Be and 2 from Cl atoms ) . Hence octet of Be is not attained . So covalency fails in the formation of BeCl₂ .

PCl₅ :

P has 5 electrons in the outermost orbit . Each of these electrons shares with one  electron from  each of Cl atoms . Thus Cl attains octel state ( 8 electrons ) but P attains 10 electrons ( 5 + 5 ) , 5 of P and 5 from 5 Cl atoms .

Hence Octet of P is not attained . Hence covalency fails in the formation of PCl₅ .

A compound has the molecular formula
Anna [14]

Answer:

Well, this compound is an organic compound, that the solid state at room temperature is determined by the joints it has and the type, strength and location of the joints or bonds.

Solid bodies, on the other hand, are those that maintain constant shape and volume thanks to the great cohesion of their molecules. The solid phase is one of the four states of matter aggregation, together with the liquid, the gaseous and the plasma

Explanation:

Regarding that it has non-polar molecules, this will influence its solubility or what type of solvents may be diluted and in which not.

Apolar molecules are those molecules that are produced by the union between atoms that have the same electronegativity, so the forces with which the atoms that make up the molecule attract the electrons in the bond are the same, thus causing the cancellation of said forces.

In this molecule, each oxygen atom attracts the shared electrons towards itself with the same intensity but in the opposite direction, so that the attractive forces are canceled and the molecule does not convert, it becomes a dipole. Furthermore, they can be identified through the Lewis structure with free pairs, that is, if it has free pairs, it is polar and if it does not, it is apolar.

In order to take into account in relation to the organism or if not a good example, the lipid structures of our organism have polar and non-polar sides, these non-polar sides are in charge of challenging hydrophilicity, since the apolar part or not NEVER will have an affinity for water, therefore it will not dissolve in it, something similar would happen with this chemical compound that we are talking about.

This is why when having non-polar molecules we can say that we are dealing with a hydrophobic compound or that it does not dissolve in water.

Why can we not compress solids while gases can be compressed? (speak about their particles) ​
hoa [83]

Answer:

Gases have molecules which stay loose from each other.

So gas can be compressed easily.

Solids have molecules closely to each other.

So compressing solids can be harder.

Explanation:

Hope my explanation helps ♥️♥️♥️
