18. Suggest an explanation for the observations that ethanol, C2H5OH, is completely miscible with water and that ethanethiol, C2
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

              Ethanol is completely miscible due to <u><em>presence</em></u> of Hydrogen bonding.

              Ethanethiol is partially miscible due to <u><em>absence</em></u> of Hydrogen Bonding.

Explanation:

                     The miscibility of liquids depend upon the intermolecular interactions between the two liquids. The stronger the intermolecular interactions the more miscible will be the liquids.

Among the two given examples, Ethanol is more miscible in water because it exhibits hydrogen bonding which is considered the strongest intermolecular interaction. Hydrogen bonding occurs when the hydrogen atom is bonded to more electronegative atoms like Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen. In this way the hydrogen atom gets partial positive charge and the electronegative atom gets partial negative charge. Hence, these partial charges results in attracting the opposite charges on other surrounding atoms.

While, in case of Ethanethiol the hydrogen atom is not bonded to any high electronegative atom hence, there will be no hydrogen bonding and therefore, there will be less interactions between the neighbour atoms.

Which formula is an empirical formula?
poizon [28]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The empirical formula is the option B. NH_{3}

<h2>Why?</h2>

The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula that can be written. On the opposite, the molecular formula involves a variant of the same compound, but it can be also simplified to an empirical formula.

MolecularFormula=n(EmpiricalFormula)

We are looking for a formula that cannot be simplified by dividing the number of molecules/atoms that conforms the compound.

Let's discard option by option in order to find which formula is an empirical formula (cannot be simplified)

A. N_{2}O_{4}

It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.

N_{2}O_{4}=2(NO_{2})

B. NH_{3}

It's an empirical formula since it cannot be obtained by the multiplication of a whole number and the simplest formula. It's the simplest formula that we can find of the compound.

C. C_{3}H_{6}

It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.

C_{3}H_{6}=3(CH_{2})

D. P_{4}O_{10}

It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.

P_{4}O_{10}=2(P_{2}O_{5})

Hence, the empirical formula is the option B. NH_{3}

Have a nice day!
