18. Suggest an explanation for the observations that ethanol, C2H5OH, is completely miscible with water and that ethanethiol, C2

H5SH, is soluble only to the extent of 1.5 g per 100 mL of water.

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.

What happens when wind sweeps up sand and throws it against a big rock?
RideAnS [48]
In deserts, wind often causes weathering by blowing sand and other material against cliffs and large rocks. This wears them down and creates more bits of sand and dust. Over time, the rock is scraped and polished away. ... When a gust of wind blows, it picks up sand and other bits of material.

If objects at the same distance suddenly decreased in mass the gravitational force between them would
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Gravitational force is also decreases.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object and inversely properly to the distance between their centres. Directly means if one increases the other automatically increases or if one decreases, the other also decreases. There is a direct relationship between mass and gravitational force so if mass of the bodies decrease, the gravitational force is also decreases.

Why is carbon ideal for making different compounds?
In-s [12.5K]

Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "False".

Explanation:

It is false that as carbon dioxide enters systemic blood, it causes more oxygen to dissociate from hemoglobin. Once an atom of oxygen binds to hemoglobin, hemoglobin change its shape and makes easier than a second and a third atom of oxygen binds towards it. This change in conformation makes no possible that carbon dioxide can cause that oxygen dissociates from hemoglobin.
