What causes water molecules to be attracted to each other?

This polarity makes water molecules attracted to each other. The oxygen-hydrogen bond in the alcohol molecule is also polar. But, the carbon hydrogen bonds in the rest of the alcohol molecule are nonpolar. In these bonds, the electrons are shared more or less evenly.

Answer:

Both polar covalent bonds inside each water molecule and hydrogen bonds inside each water molecule are liable for attraction between water molecules.

Explanation:

  • Water is a polar protic molecule.
  • Due to large difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen atom, two O-H bonds in water molecule are polar.
  • Due to the presence of polar covalent bonds in water molecule, water molecules attract each other through oppositely polarized ends.
  • In water molecules, H atom is attached with highly electronegative oxygen atom. Hence hydrogen bonding interaction arises between water molecules.
  • So, both option (A) and (B) are correct

If 23.7 g of Al(OH)3(s) are mixed with 29.5 g of H2SO4(s) and the reaction is run, answer the following questions:
expeople1 [14]

Aluminum hydroxide \text{Al}(\text{OH})_3 can behave as a base and neutralize sulfuric acid \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 as in the following equation:

2\;\text{Al}(\text{OH})_3 \; (s) + 3\; \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \; (aq) \to \text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 \; (aq) + 6 \; \text{H}_2\text{O} \; (l) (Balanced)


(a)

n = m/M. Thus the ratio between the number of moles of the two reactants available:

n(\text{Al}(\text{OH})_3, \text{supplied}) / n(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4, \text{supplied})\\= [m(\text{Al}(\text{OH})_3)/ M(\text{Al}(\text{OH})_3)] / [n(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4) / M(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4)]\\= [23.7 / (26.98 + 3 \times(16.00 + 1.008))]/[29.5 / (2 \times 1.008 + 32.07 + 4 \times 16.00)]\\\approx 1.01

The value of this ratio required to lead to a complete reaction is derived from coefficients found in the balanced equation:

n(\text{Al}(\text{OH})_3, \text{theoretical}) / n(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4, \text{theoretical}) = 2/3 \approx 0.667

The ratio for the complete reaction is smaller than that of the reactants available, indicating that the species represented on the numerator, \text{Al}(\text{OH})_3, is in excess while the one on the denominator, \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4, serves as the limiting reagent.


(b)

The quantity of water produced is dependent on the amount of limiting reactants available. 29.5 / (2 \times 1.008 + 32.07 + 4 \times 16.00) = 0.301 \; \text{mol} of sulfuric acid is supplied in this reaction as the limiting reagent. 6 moles of water molecules are produced for every 3 moles of sulfuric acid consumed. The reaction would thus give rise to 0.301 \; \text{mol} \times 6/3 = 0.602 \; \text{mol} of water molecules, which have a mass of 0.602 \times (2 \times 1.008 + 16.00) = 10.8 \; \text{g}.


(c)

\text{Percentage Yield}\\= \text{Actual Yield} / \text{Theoretical Yield} \times 100 \; \%\\= 2.21 / 10.8 \times 100 \; \%\\= 20.4 \; \%


(d)

The quantity of \text{Al}(\text{OH})_3, the reactant in excess, is dependent on the number of moles of this species consumed in the reaction and thus the quantity of the limiting reagent available. The consumption of every 3 moles of sulfuric acid, the limiting reagent, removes 2 moles of aluminum hydroxide \text{Al}(\text{OH})_3 from the solution. 0.301 \; \text{mol} of sulfuric acid is initially available as previously stated such that 0.301 \; \text{mol} \times 2/3 = 0.201 \; \text{mol}, or 0.201 \times (26.98 + 3 \time (16.00 + 1.008)) = 15.7 \; \text{g}, of \text{Al}(\text{OH})_3 would be eventually consumed.

23.7 - 15.7 = 8.0 \; \text{g} of \text{Al}(\text{OH})_3 would thus be in excess by the end of the reaction process.

4. Distinguish where kinetic energy and potential energy are the greatest in the loop.
aksik [14]
Kinetic energy is the energy from movement. Hence the fastest movement is at the bottom of the loop - therefore Kinetic energy is highest at the flat bottom of the loop.

Potential energy is the opposite - it occurs at the top of the loop when the car moves the slowest

N the reaction Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 which element’s oxidation number does not change?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:- Oxidation number of Cl does not change as it is -1 on both sides.

Explanations:- oxidation number of Mg on reactant side is 0 as it is in its elemental form(not combined with another element).

Oxidation number  of hydrogen in its compounds is +1, so if H is +1 in HCl the oxidation number of Cl is -1 as the sum has to be zero.

On product side, Mg oxidation number is +2 as the oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in their compounds is +2.

Two Cl are present in magnesium chloride, so if Mg is +2 then Cl is -1.

Oxidation number of H on product side is 0 as it is present in its elemental for, H_2 ,

So, it is only chlorine(Cl) whose oxidation number does not change for the given equation.
