Answer:

Axial

Explanation:

In the most stable conformation of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol, the tert-butyl group is at equatorial position and the alcohol group is in the axial position.

If the tert-butyl group is placed in equatorial position, repulsions are minimized. The bulkier the group, the greater the energy difference between the axial and equatorial conformers. Hence for a ring having a bulky substituent, such bulky substituent is better placed in the equatorial position.

The energy difference between the conformers of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is so high that the compound is almost "frozen" in a conformation where the tert-butyl groups are equatorial and the -OH groups are axial. This conformer is more stable by 24 KJ/mol.

You have a red ballooe that has a volume of 20 liters, a pressure of 1.5 atmospheres and a temperature of 28 C. What is the volu

ki77a [65]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$P_{1}$ = 1.5 atm, $V_{1}$ = 20 L, $T_{1}$ = (28 + 273) K = 301 K

$P_{2}$ = 5 atm, $V_{2}$ = ?, $T_{2}$ = (50 + 273) K = 323 K

Formula to calculate the volume will be as follows.

$\frac{P_{1} \times V_{1}}{T_{1}}$ = $\frac{P_{2} \times V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

$\frac{P_{1} \times V_{1}}{T_{1}}$ = $\frac{P_{2} \times V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

$\frac{1.5 atm \times 20 L}{301 K}$ = $\frac{5 atm \times V_{2}}{323 K}$

$V_{2}$ = 0.64 L

Thus, we can conclude that the change in volume of the balloon will be 0.64 L.

Answer:

2.74 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium chloride = 80.0 g

Volume of water = 500.0 mL

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Now we will convert the mL into L.

500.0 mL× 1 L /1000 mL = 0.5 L

In next step we will calculate the number of moles of sodium chloride.

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 80.0 g/ 58.4 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.37 mol

Molarity:

M = 1.37 mol/ 0.5 L

M = 2.74 M

A sample of oxygen occupies 47.2 liters under a pressure of 1240 torr at 298K. What volume would it occupy at 303K if the pressu

kupik [55]

Answer:

81.5 L

Explanation:

We can use the combined gas law equation that gives the relationship among pressure, temperature and volume of gases for a fixed amount of gas.

P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

where P1 - pressure, V1 - volume and T1 - temperature at the first instance

P2 - pressure, V2 - volume and T2 - temperature at the second instance

substituting the values in the equation

1240 Torr x 47.2 L / 298 K = 730 Torr x V2 / 303 K

V2 = 81.5 L

the new volume the gas would occupy when the conditions have changed is 81.5 L

Why are hydrogen bonds important for the properties of water?

zavuch27 [327]

Water has the special type of attraction called Hydrogen bonding. The bonds between the Hydrogen and the Oxygen in each water molecule make a super dipole because the Oxygen atom is way more electronegative than the hydrogen atom. These OH bonds can then be attracted to other H2O molecules. If you have ever poured water up to the brim and there is little bit of water that is poking above the top, hydrogen bonding keeps those water molecules from spilling
