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.

Calculate the molar mass of the acid.
JulijaS [17]
Citric acid has the molecular formula C6H8O7 so you can add the molar masses of the elements from the periodic table. C has a molar mass of 12.01 g/mol, H has 1.01 g/mol and O has 15.999 g/mol. Now you calculate the total molar mass= (6*12.01 + 8*1.01 + 7*15.999). This yields a molar weight of 192.124 g/mol (anhydrous)

The majority of water molecules moving across plasma membranes by osmosis do so via a process that is most similar to ____.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The answer is Facilitated Diffusion

Explanation:

Osmosis is most similar to facilitated diffusion.

Osmosis can be defined as : Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, down a concentration gradient from a low concentrated solution into a more concentrated solution.

Facilitated diffusion is defined as: Facilitated diffusion is the flow of molecules requiring the aid of a protein, across a membrane, down a concentration gradient  from a low concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.

Find the final product for: Li + Br and show work.
miskamm [114]

Lithium is atomic number 3, so it has valency 1

While, Bromine is atomic number 35, and has valency 1

Lithium has an extra electron while Bromine need an electron, since they both need and have one electron, the form

LiBr (Lithium Bromide) where Li is +ve charged and Br is -ve charged

Happy to help :)
