Based on your observations of 1-tetradecanol when it reformed a solid after melting, does 1-tetradecanol form a crystalline or a

morphous solid? Explain the difference between these two terms as part of your answer.

Answer:

It is a crystalline solid.

It is a white crystalline solid that is practically insoluble in water, soluble in diethyl ether and slightly soluble in ethanol

Explanation:

The difference between crystalline and amorphous is how this chemical compound transmits light.

When a chemical material or compound is said to be crystalline, it is the opposite of what we imagine, since its color is opaque and does not allow light to pass through it, that is why this compound, being crystalline, is opaque white. and if you want to see through it you will not see the other way since it is not "transparent".

On the other hand, amorphous chemical materials or compounds are seen through them from one side to the other, they are considered "transparent" and do not refract any color from the color range of light. That is why they are not opaque either, nor do they have a particular color like white. A clear example of an amorphous structure is glass or crystal.

Which of the following diatomic molecules is joined by a triple covalent bond?
aivan3 [116]

The correct answer is C. In the periodic table nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and needs 3 more electrons to obtain an octet. So it would form three covalent bonds with another nitrogen and that would be a triple bond.

A is incorrect because oxygen is in group 6 and only needs 2 electrons to achieve an octet. So it would form two covalent bonds with the other oxygen to give a double bond.

B is incorrect because Cl is in group 7 and only needs 1 electron to achieve an octet. So it forms a single bond with the other Cl atom.

D is incorrect because helium is in Group 8, a noble gas, which means its valence shell is completely filled, hence no bonding can occur.

Does adding coefficients to a chemical equation disobey the law of definite proportions? Explain your answer.
Temka [501]

Answer:   No

Explanation:

- Law of definite proportions is a case from the Law of conservation of energy (matter) which states that "mass can neither be created nor destroyed, but changed from one form to another."

-  Adding coefficients to a chemical equation confirms that there is the same number of atoms on both sides of a reaction; therefore, matter has not been created or destroyed but reorganized to give new substrates.

Example :             2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO              

In the balanced equation above, 2 moles of Mg reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 2 moles of MgO.

mass of 2 moles of Mg  = 24×2= 48 grams

mass of 1 mole of O2 = 16+16 = 32 grams

total mass of reactants = 48 + 32 = 80 grams


mass of 2 moles of MgO = (24+16) ×2 = 80 grams  

total mass of products = 80 grams

It is clear that the number of grams of matter before and after the reaction is the same and  equals to 80 grams, so obeys the law of definite proportions..
