Chemistry

Water has this unusual behavior when cooled at <span>4 degrees Celsius; it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point and continue to expand by approximately 9%. This characteristic has something to do with the structure of the water molecule where there is a strong tendency to form a network of hydrogen bonds and each hydrogen atom is in a line between two oxygen atoms. These bonds force the crystalline structure to be very open into hexagonal form and expand dramatically.

Answer:

In the case of water, that is, when the liquid water gets cooled, it gets contract to a temperature of about 4 degrees is attained. However, after that, it starts to expand somewhat till it moves towards the freezing point, and eventually when it freezes, it expands by about 9 percent.  

This characteristic has its source in the composition of the water molecule. In water, there possesses a capacity to produce a network of hydrogen bonds, where each atom of hydrogen is in a line amongst the two atoms of oxygen. This tendency of hydrogen bonding gets robust as the temperature lowers down. The formed ice structure is completely hydrogen-bonded and these bonds permit the structure to get open, thus, expansion takes place.

Need moles of glucose converted to moles of the product gas (CO2).

Molecular weight calculation:
C 6 X 12.01 = 72.06
H 12 X 1.01= 12.12
O 6 X 16.00 = 96.00
 sum = 180.18
25.5 g of C6H12O6 ( 1 mol C6H12O6 / 180.18 g) ( 6 mol CO2 / 1 mol C6H12O6) = 0.84915 mol CO2 gas.
Convert temp: 37 °C + 273.15 = 310.15 K
V= ((0.84915 mol)× (0.0821 L atm / mol K) (310.15 K))/0.980 atm
 V = 22.0635 L
  = 22.06 L CO2

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

1) Data  

mass = 10 g

vol = 20 ml

     density  = 10/ 20

                 = 0.5 g/ml

2)

Data

mass = 5 g

density = 2 g/ml

        volume = mass / density

                      = 5 g / 2

                     = 2.5 g / ml

3)

Data

density = 25 g/ml

volume = 100 ml

         mass = 25 x 100

                  = 2500 g

Answer:

Water Solubility Test

Explanation:

Ethanol possess a polar -OH group which is capable of forming hydrogen bond in water. Thus making ethanol miscible with water and ultimately soluble.

Cyclohexane on the other hand is a non polar compound with no dipole-dipole interaction ability with water. This makes it insoluble in water
