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."

The heat of fusion AH, of ethyl acetate (C4H802) is 10.5 kinol. Calculate the change in entropy as when 398. g of ethy, acetate

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The entropy change of the ethyl acetate is 133. J/K

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of ethyl acetate = 398 g

Molar mass of ethyl acetate = 88.11 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ethyl acetate}=\frac{398g}{88.11g/mol}=4.52mol$

To calculate the entropy change for different phase at same temperature, we use the equation:

$\Delta S=n\times \frac{\Delta H_{fusion}}{T}$

where,

$\Delta S$ = Entropy change = ?

n = moles of ethyl acetate = 4.52 moles

$\Delta H_{fusion}$ = enthalpy of fusion = 10.5 kJ/mol = 10500 J/mol (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)

T = temperature of the system = $84.0^oC=[84+273]K=357K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta S=\frac{4.52mol\times 10500J/mol}{357K}\\\\\Delta S=132.9J/K$

Hence, the entropy change of the ethyl acetate is 133. J/K

Valence electrons are found:

eduard

Valence electrons are found AT THE OUTERMOST SHELL OF AN ATOM.
Valence electron refers to those electrons that are located furthest away from the nucleus of an atom, that is, they are found at the outermost shell. Valence electrons determine the chemical properties of an element and they are the only ones that get involved in chemical reactions with other elements.
