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.

The mass of water in a single popcorn kernel was found to be 0.905 grams after it popped at a temperature of 175 °C. Using the i
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0.583 kilojoules

Explanation:

The amount of heat required to pop a single kernel can be calculated using the formula as follows:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat (J)

m = mass of water (g)

c = specific heat capacity of water (4.184 J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature

From the given information, m = 0.905 g, initial temperature (room temperature) = 21°C , final temperature = 175°C, Q = ?

Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 0.905 × 4.184 × (175°C - 21°C)

Q = 3.786 × 154

Q = 583.044 Joules

In kilojoules i.e. we divide by 1000, the amount of heat is:

= 583.04/1000

= 0.583 kilojoules

Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is C2H2(g) + 2H2(g) ⇌ C2H6(
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

-255.4 kJ

Explanation:

The free energy of a reversible reaction can be calculated by:

ΔG = (ΔG° + RTlnQ)*n

Where R is the gas constant (8.314x10⁻³ kJ/mol.K), T is the temperature in K, n is the number of moles of the products (n =1), and Q is the reaction quotient, which is calculated based on the multiplication of partial pressures by the partial pressure of the products elevated by their coefficient divide by the multiplication of the partial pressure of the reactants elevated by their coefficients.

C₂H₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇄ C₂H₆(g)

Q = pC₂H₆/[pC₂H₂ * (pH₂)²]

Q = 0.261/[8.58*(3.06)²]

Q = 3.2487x10⁻³

ΔG = -241.2 + 8.314x10⁻³x298*ln(3.2487x10⁻³)

ΔG = -255.4 kJ

Which postulate of Dalton's atomic model was later changed and why?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Part two of Dalton's theory had to be modified after mass spectrometry experiments demonstrated that atoms of the same element can have different masses because the number of neutrons can vary for different isotopes of the same element. ... Scientists have even developed the technology to see the world on an atomic level!

hoped i helped you :)

If 25 mol of C8H18 are available, how many mol of CO2 can be produced
Nady [450]

Answer:

200 mol

Explanation:

2C8H18+25O2=16CO2+18H2O

2 mol → 16 mol

25 mol → X mol

X=25×16÷2=200
