Based on your knowledge of intermolecular forces, which of the following would you expect to have the highest boiling point?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer is: d). 1-propanol. Because between two molecules of 1-propanol can for form hydrogen bond, between hydrogen and oxygen in hydroxy group.

1) Chemical formula for propanal is CH₃-CH₂-CH=O. Propanal is a saturated three carbon aldehyde (have a carbonyl center).
2) Chemical formula for propane is CH₃-CH₂-CH₃. Propane is a three carbon alkane (acyclic saturated hydrocarbon).
3) Chemical formula for propanone is (CH₃)₂-C=O. Propanone or acetone is he simplest and smallest ketone.
4) Chemical formula for propanol is CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-OH. 1-propanol is a primary alcohol.
Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

How many moles of ammonia (nh3 will be produced from 4.0 moles of nitrogen (n2?

Lana71 [14]

Standard equation would be N2(g)+3H2(g)==>2NH3(g), so through stoichiometry, (4 mol N2)(2mol NH3/1 mol N2), assuming excess H2, would yield 8 moles of NH3.

Balance the following equations: (c) H2(g)+I2(s)⟶HI(s)H2(g)+I2(s)⟶HI(s)

kenny6666 [7]

Answer: $H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(s)$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Thus in the reactants, there are 2 atoms of hydrogen and 2 atoms of iodine .Thus there has to be 2 atoms of hydrogen and 2 atoms of iodine in the product as well. Thus a coefficient of 2 is placed in front of HI.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(s)$
