Answer:

Explanation:

In ideal solutions, the interactions between solute - solvent are approximately the same as those of solute - solute and solvent - solvent, that is the interactions are to be practically indistintiguishable after disolution.

The moment we have a release of energy (the solution feels warm) we are to conclude that there are strong interactions between the water and methanol molecules so we would expect the solution to be non ideal.

The reason for the interactions is the presence of hydrogen bonds between methanol and water.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol

Explanation:

In this case, we have an epoxide opening in acid medium. The first step then is the protonation of the oxygen. Then the epoxide is broken to generate the most stable carbocation. The nucleophile ( $CH_3OH$ ) will attack the carbocation generating a new bond. Finally, the oxygen is deprotonated to obtain an ether functional group and we will obtain the molecule (S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol.

See figure 1

Zoe is frying eggs in a pan. The eggs cook because of _____ of heat. Zoe feels hot as she stands near the stove mostly because o

erica [24]

Answer:

1) conduction

2) Radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is a mode of heat transfer by which heat energy is transferred through a material, the average position of the particles of the material remaining the same.

Radiation is a process of heat transfer by which heat is transferred from a hotter to a cooler point without any intervening medium.

The pan used to fry the egg is a conductor of heat hence heat can pass through it by conduction thereby enabling the eggs to cook.

Heat can travel without an intervening medium hence Zoe feels hot near the stove. This ability of the heat to travel without an intervening medium is called radiation.
