In an experiment, two unknown compounds (one an alcohol and the other an ether) of equal molecular mass were dissolved in water.

The result of the experiment is shown in the table. Solubility Comparison Unknown Compound Solubility (g/100 ml water) Unknown Compound A--> Solubility is 7.7 Unknown Compound B--> Solubility is 6.8 Which of the following correctly explains the identity of Compound B and its solubility? A. It is an alcohol because the lack of hydrogen bonding between the OH^- make is less soluble B. It is an ether because it is unable to to form a hydrogen bond, so it is less soluble than water C. It is an ether because in the absence of a highly electronegative atom like O, F, or N, it lacks hydrogen bonding and thus makes it less soluble D. It is an alcohol because dispersion forces between the OH^- group and organic chain make it less soluble.

Answer: B. It is an ether because it is unable to to form a hydrogen bond, so it is less soluble than water

Explanation: Alcohols (ROH) are more soluble in water as they can form hydrogen bonding with water whereas ethers (ROR) are less soluble as they do not form hydrogen bonds with water.

For formation of hydrogen bond, the electronegative atom (F, Oand N) must be attached to hydrogen and in ethers (ROR), there is no hydrogen directly attached to electronegative oxygen atom, thus are less soluble in water.

Answer: Another useful feature of the periodic table is that most tables provide all the information you need to balance chemical reactions at a glance. The table tells each element's atomic number and usually its atomic weight. The typical charge of an element is indicated by its group.

Consider the reaction between iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3 and carbon monoxide, CO. Fe2O3 + 3CO --&gt; 2Fe + 3CO2 In the process, 213
s344n2d4d5 [400]
To calculate the mass of Fe formed in a) we get first the limiting reactant between Fe2O3 and CO. Given the masses, the ratio of Fe2O3 is 1.33 while that of CO is 1.67. Hence the limiting reagent is Fe2O3. The mass of Fe formed is 148.98 grams. In b, the needed CO is only 112.04 grams. Hence, the excess is 27. 96 grams.

What identifies a flaw in J. J. Thomson’s model of the atom?
katrin [286]

Answer:

The plum-pudding model did not identify a central nucleus as the source of a positive charge.

Explanation:

Sir Joseph John Thomson, most popularly known as J J Thomson. He was a famous scientist who was awarded the Noble prize for Physics for his discovery of the subatomic particle, electron.

He placed his famous model of an atom which is known as plum pudding model. He proposed that the atoms are described as the negative particles that is floating within a soup of the diffuse positive charge.

But the main defect of his proposal was that it did not recognized the presence of a central nucleus as a positive charged source.
