The first pesticides relied on natural chemicals, such as those taken from chrysanthemum flowers.

Compare the boiling points of alcohol, ethers and alkanes and explain one reason for the difference

scoundrel [369]

Alcohols have higher boiling points than do ethers and alkanes of similar molar masses.

<h3>What is meant by Boiling Point ?</h3>

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid is called the boiling point of the substance.

Approximately boiling point of Ethanol: 78.4°C, ether: 34.6°C, ethanes: 68°C

The reason for the difference is that it takes more energy to separate alcohol molecules then it does to separate alkane molecules and ether molecules.

The OH group in alcohol allows molecules to engage in hydrogen bonding.

Therefore Boiling point are in the order ;

Alcohol > alkane > ethers

An unknown solution has a pH of 7.2. Which of these chemicals is likely to cause the greatest decrease in the pH of the solution

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

HNO₃.

Explanation:

It is known that acids decrease the pH of the solution, while bases increase the pH of the solution.

So, HF and HNO₃ decrease the pH of the solution as they produce H⁺ in the solution.

While, KOH and NH₃ increase the pH of the solution as they produce OH⁻ in the solution.

HNO₃ will decrease the pH of the solution greater than HF.

Because HNO₃ is strong acid that decomposes completely to produce H⁺ more than the same concentration of HF that is a weak acid which does not decomposed completely to produce H⁺.

If the molecule could move upward without colliding with other molecules, then how high would it go before coming to rest? Give

tankabanditka [31]

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.

Given:

The nitrogen gas molecule with a temperature of 330 Kelvins is released from Earth's surface to travel upward.

To find:

The maximum height of a nitrogen molecule when released from the Earth's surface before coming to rest.

Solution:

The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
The temperature of nitrogen gas particle = T = 330 K

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is given by:

$K.E=\frac{3}{2}K_bT\\\\K.E=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 330 K\\\\K.E=6.381\times 10^{-21} J$

The nitrogen molecule at its maximum height will have zero kinetic energy as all the kinetic energy will get converted into potential energy

The potential energy at height h = $P.E = 6.381\times 10^{-21} J$
Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0134 g/mol
Mass of nitrogen gas molecule = m

$m= \frac{ 28.0134 g/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=4.652\times 10^{-23} g\\\\1g=0.001kg\\\\m=4.652\times 10^{-23}\times 0.001 kg\\\\=4.652\times 10^{-26} kg$

The acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2
The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
The potential energy is given by:

$P.E=mgh$

$6.381\times 10^{-21} J=4.652\times 10^{-26} kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times h\\\\h=\frac{6.381\times 10^{-21} J}{4.652\times 10^{-26} kg\times 9.8 m/s^2}\\\\h=13,996.6 m\\\\1 m = 0.001 km\\\\h=13,996.6 m=h=13,996.6\times 0.001 k m\\\\=13.9966 km \approx 14 km$

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.

If a molecule can hydrogen bond does it guarantee that it will have a higher boiling point than a molecule that cannot?

sleet_krkn [62]

A molecule that can h-bond will not always necessarily and does not have guarantee to have a higher boiling point than one than cannot have h-bond.
we can take an example of Pentan-2-one that cannot h-bond but instead of this it has a high boiling point that is 102.3 °C, while propan-1-ol can h-bond but it has a boiling point of 97.2°C, that is lower than the boiling point of Pentan-2-one.

You know that 8.9 moles of solute particles are dissolved in that liquid solution. If the molarity of the solution is 25 M, how

pychu [463]

Answer:

V = 0.356 L

Explanation:

In this case, we need to use the following expression:

M = n/V (1)

Where:

M: molarity of solution (mol/L or M)

n: moles of solute (moles)

V: Volume of solution (Liters)

From these expression, we can solve for V:

V = n/M (2)

Now, replacing the given data we can solve V:

V = 8.9 / 25

V = 0.356 L
