Answer:

$(C_2H_5)_3N~+~H_2O~->~(C_2H_5)_3NH^+~+~OH^-$

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember that definition of acid and base in the Bronsted-Lowry theory:

Acid

A substance with the ability to produce a hydronium ion ( $H^+$ ).

$HA~->~H^+~+~A^-$

Base

A substance with the ability to accepts a hydronium ion ( $H^+$ ).

$B~+~H^+->BH^+$

If we check the reaction mechanism (figure 1). We can see that the lone pair of electrons in the "N" atom will remove an "H" from the water molecule producing a positive charge in the nitrogen and a hydroxyl group ( $OH^-$ ).

With all this in mind, the net ionic equation would be:

$(C_2H_5)_3N~+~H_2O~->~(C_2H_5)_3NH^+~+~OH^-$

I hope it helps!

Determine whether each of the molecules below is polar or nonpolar. Tetrahedral C C l 4 CClX4 Nonpolar Tetrahedral C H 3 O H CHX

liraira [26]

Answer:

CCl4 - Nonpolar

CH3OH - polar

NH3 - polar

CS2 - Nonpolar

Explanation:

One important thing that we should know is that polarity has to do with the presence of a resultant dipole moment in a molecule.

Dipole moment is a vector quantity, This means that its direction is also taken into account when discussing the dipole moment of molecules.

Hence, symmetrical molecules such as CS2 and CCl4 are non-polar even though they have polar bonds because their dipoles cancel out(zero resultant dipole moment).

On the other hand, NH3 and CH3OH are non-symmetrical molecules hence they possess an overall dipole moment and are polar molecules.

Briefly describe any example of an endothermic reaction and also mention the word equation

emmainna [20.7K]

Explanation:

$\huge{\underbrace{\overbrace{\mathfrak{\pink{Answer:}}}}}$

Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions in which the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings to form products. These reactions lower the temperature of their surrounding area, thereby creating a cooling effect. Physical processes can be endothermic as well – Ice cubes absorb heat energy from their surroundings and melt to form liquid water (no chemical bonds are broken or formed).

When a chemical bond is broken, it is usually accompanied by a release of energy. Similarly, the formation of chemical bonds requires an input of energy. The energy supplied/released can be of various forms (such as heat, light, and electricity). Endothermic reactions generally involve the formation of chemical bonds through the absorption of heat from the surroundings. On the other hand, exothermic reactions involve the release of heat energy generated from bond-breakage.

Endothermic Reaction Examples

Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), an important component in instant cold packs, dissociates into the ammonium cation (NH4+) and the nitrate anion (NO3–) when dissolved in water

A silver necklace has a density of 10.5 g/mL and a volume of 1.5 mL. What is the mass of the silver necklace?

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

15.75g

Explanation:

Rearrange the formula: density = mass/volume, so that mass is the subject: mass = density × volume

Now substitute (plug in) the known values into the formula:

mass = 10.5 × 1.5 ⇒ mass = 15.75g

The mass of the silver necklace is 15.75g

Hope this helps!

Will the calculated Molarity of NaOH be too high or too low or unaffected if the following happen: when you answer the question,

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The result will be affected.

The mass of KHP weighed out was used to calculate the moles of KHP weighed out (moles = mass/molar mass).

Not all the sample is actually KHP if the KHP is a little moist, so when mass was used to determine the moles of KHP, a higher number of moles than what is actually present would be obtained (because some of that mass was not KHP but it was assumed to be so. Therefore, there is actually a less present number of moles than the certain number that was thought of.

During the titration, NaOH reacts in a 1:1 ratio with KHP. So it was determined that there was the same number of moles of NaOH was the volume used as there were KHP in the mass that was weighed out. Since there was an overestimation in the moles of KHP, then there also would be an overestimation in the number of moles of NaOH.

Thus, NaOH will appear at a higher concentration than it actually is.

What is the IUPAC name for this product?

mihalych1998 [28]

The IUPAC name for the given product is 2 chloro Butane.

<h3>What is IUPAC nomenclature?</h3>

IUPAC stands for 'International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry', which givers some rule for designing the name of compounds of chemistry.

In the given product total four carbon atoms are present and between all of them single bonds are present.
In the second carbon atom, chlorine group is present.
During the nomenclature process, first we write down the name of the attached group which is followed by the alkane chain.

Hence name of the product is 2 chloro Butane.
