The lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom in an ester can form hydrogen bonds in some situations, but esters cannot form hyd

rogen bonds with each other. How would you expect the boiling point of an ester to compare with that of an alcohol

Answer:

Esters have lower boiling point than alcohols.

Explanation:

Esters are the fruity smelling compounds which are formed from carboxylic acid and alcohol with the removal of water.

The general formula for the ester is RCOOR' which is prepared from RCOOH acid and R'OH alcohol.

Ester can not form strong hydrogen bond as there is no hydrogen attached to the electronegative atom in the ester and thus cannot form hydrogen bonds with each other.<u> Due to this factor, the interactions within the molecules of the ester is lower than that of alcohols which exist in strong hydrogen bonding. As a result, ester can be easily boiled when compared to the alcohols and thus they have lower value of boiling points.</u>

What is the change in boiling point for a 0.615m solution of Mgl2 in water?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer :  The change in boiling point is, 0.94^oC

Explanation :

Formula used :

\Delta T_b=i\times K_f\times m

where,

\Delta T_b = change in boiling point = ?

i = Van't Hoff factor = 3 (for MgI₂ electrolyte)

K_f = boiling point constant for water = 0.51^oC/m

m = molality  = 0.615 m

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

\Delta T_b=3\times (0.51^oC/m)\times 0.615m

\Delta T_b=0.94^oC

Therefore, the change in boiling point is, 0.94^oC

The relationship between an object's mass (m), its acceleration (a), and the applied force (F) is described in which of Newton's
Kay [80]

Answer: so the answer is A

Explanation: The relationship between an object's mass (m), its acceleration (a), and the applied force (f) is F=ma. ... This law requires that the direction of the acceleration vector is in the same direction as the force vectors.

What is the difference between a pulley and incline plane?
erik [133]
A incline plane is a flat inclined surface. You can stick a rope in the pulley and pull one side and the other side will lift something! They are both simple machines! The difference is a incline plane is a ramp and things go up or down and the pulley lifts something with force of your weight!!
