This is false. An alcohol does indeed have a polar C-O single bond, but what we should really be focusing on is the extraordinarily polar O-H single bond. When oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen is bound to a hydrogen atom, there is a small (but not negligible) charge separation, where the eletronegative N, O, or F has a partial negative charge, and the H has a partial positive charge. Water has two O-H single bonds in it (structure is H-O-H). The partially negative charge on the O of the water molecule (specifically around the lone pair) can become attracted either a neighboring water molecule's partially positive H atom, or an alcohol's partially positive H atom. This is weak (and partially covalent) attraction is called a hydrogen bond. This is stronger than a typical dipole-dipole attraction (as would be seen between neighboring C-O single bonds), and much stronger than dispersion forces (between any two atoms). When the solvent (water) and the solute (the alcohol) both exhibit similar intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding being the most important in this case), they can mix completely in all proportions (i.e. they are miscible) in water.
Answer:
AgC2H3O2 is: Silver acetate
Answer:
In water hydrogen bonding formed between partially negative oxygen and partially positive hydrogen atoms.
Explanation:
Hydrogen bond is a partially electrostatic attraction between hydrogen (H), which is bonded to a more electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F), and another adjacent atom bearing a lone pair of electrons.
In water molecule hydrogen and oxygen have difference in electronegativity, due to which dipoles are form. One is partial positive on hydrogen atom and other is partial negative on oxygen atom. The electrostatic attraction occur between two oppositely charged poles which is known as hydrogen bonding.
Answer:
2578.99 years
Explanation:
Given that:
100 g of the wood is emitting 1120 β-particles per minute
Also,
1 g of the wood is emitting 11.20 β-particles per minute
Given, Decay rate = 15.3 % per minute per gram
So,
Concentration left can be calculated as:-
C left =
Where,
is the concentration at time t
is the initial concentration
Also, Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
Where, k is rate constant
So,
The rate constant, k = 0.000120968 year⁻¹
Time =?
Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:
So,
<u>t = 2578.99 years</u>
