Answer:

              Ethanol is completely miscible due to <u><em>presence</em></u> of Hydrogen bonding.

              Ethanethiol is partially miscible due to <u><em>absence</em></u> of Hydrogen Bonding.

Explanation:

                     The miscibility of liquids depend upon the intermolecular interactions between the two liquids. The stronger the intermolecular interactions the more miscible will be the liquids.

Among the two given examples, Ethanol is more miscible in water because it exhibits hydrogen bonding which is considered the strongest intermolecular interaction. Hydrogen bonding occurs when the hydrogen atom is bonded to more electronegative atoms like Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen. In this way the hydrogen atom gets partial positive charge and the electronegative atom gets partial negative charge. Hence, these partial charges results in attracting the opposite charges on other surrounding atoms.

While, in case of Ethanethiol the hydrogen atom is not bonded to any high electronegative atom hence, there will be no hydrogen bonding and therefore, there will be less interactions between the neighbour atoms.

Please help me order these bonds urgent
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

From least polar covalent to most polar covalent;

S-I< Br-Cl < N-H< Te-O

From most ionic to least ionic

Cs-F> Sr-Cl> Li- N> Al-O

Explanation:

Electro negativity refers to the ability of an atom in a bond to attract the shared electrons of the bond towards itself.

Electro negativity difference between two atoms is a key player in the nature of bond that exists between any two atoms. A large difference in electron negativity leads to an ionic bond while an intermediate difference in electro negativity leads to a polar covalent bond.

Based on electro negativity differences, the bonds in the answer have been arranged in order of increasing polar covalent nature or decreasing ionic nature.

How many moles of methane (CH4) could be made from 4.6 moles of hydrogen?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Number of moles of methane form = 2.3 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Hydrogen = 4.6 mol

Number of moles of methane form = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C + 2H₂     →   CH₄

Now we will compare the moles of methane with hydrogen from balance chemical equation.

                     H₂              :           CH₄

                       2              :             1

                     4.6             :            1/2×4.6 = 2.3 mol  

Form 3.6 moles of hydrogen 2.3 moles of methane can be formed.

Inga [223]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The three components of air are all <span>classified as pure substances since they are not chemically bonded so they can be separated by certain processes and be present as a pure substance. Hope this answers the question.</span>
