Answer:

The answer to your question is: They are stronger than those in water.

Explanation:

When a substance is heated, heat is breaking forces among molecules like hydrogen bonds, london forces, van der waals forces, etc, if a substance has a lot of these forces, the boiling point will be higher because more forces must be broken.Then, glycerol must have stronger forces than those of water.

Answer:

The correct answer is: "They are stronger than those in water."

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces are those that hold the molecules together. Depending on the magnitude of these forces it will cost more or less to separate the molecules. That is what happens with the boiling point. The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid leaves its state and enters the gaseous state (vapor). Then the intermolecular forces, which are greater in a liquid state with respect to the gaseous state, have to be broken so that the change of state can occur. The higher the intermolecular forces present in the liquid, the boiling point will be higher.

So, since glycerol has a boiling point higher than water, it indicates that the intermolecular forces will be greater, since it takes more temperature and energy to break the force that bonds the molecules.

So the correct answer is: "They are stronger than those in water."

Which reactant is unlikely to produce the indicated product upon strong heating?

Ilya [14]

2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid is unlikely to produce 2-Methyl-3-butanone upon strong heating.

Upon heating, the β ketoacid becomes unstable and decarboxylates, leading to the formation of the methyl ketone.

A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO2H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group.

Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids. Deprotonation of a carboxylic acid gives a carboxylate anion.

Full question :

Q. Which reactant is unlikely to produce the indicated product upon strong heating?

A) 2,2-Dimethylpropanedioic acid 2-methylpropanoic acid
B) 2-Ethylpropanedioic acid Butanoic acid
C) 2-Methyl-3-oxo-pentanoic acid 3-Pentanone
D) 2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid 2-Methyl-3-butanone
E) 4-Methyl-3-oxo-heptanoic acid 3-Methyl-2-hexanone

Hence, option (D) is correct.

A force of 20 N acts upon 5 kg block caculate the accerleration of the object

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}}$

Explanation:

F = ma

$a = \dfrac{F}{m} = \dfrac{\text{20 N}}{\text{5 kg}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg$\cdot$ m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}}{\text{1 N}} = \text{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}\\\\\text{The acceleration of the object is } \boxed{\textbf{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{\mathbf{-2}}$}}$

MAXImum [283]

Amines are derivatives of Ammonia (NH₃) in which atleast one hydrogen atom is replaced by an alkyl group. Amines are further classifies as;

Primary Amines:
In primary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two hydrogen atoms and one alkyl group.

Secondary Amines:
In secondary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom.

Tertiary Amines:
In tertiary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to three alkyl groups, hence it has no hydrogen atom.

Below are three isomers of tertiary amines with molecular formula C₅H₁₃N.

How many moles are in 5.0 x 10^25 atoms of iron?

Andreas93 [3]

Hello!

To find the number of moles that are in the given amount, we need to divide the total number of atoms by Avogadro's number, which is 1 mole is equal to 6.02 x 10^23 atoms.

5.0 x 10^25 / 6.02 x 10^23 ≈ 83.0564

Therefore, there are about 83.06 moles of iron (sigfig: 83 moles).
