Answer:

Option B

Covalent Bonding

Explanation:

Covalent bonds in C2H5OH are formed between the carbon and hydrogen atoms, where there are shared electron pairs.

This is a weak form of attraction that holds the C2H5OH molecule together, and can easily be broken by a polar solvent such as water.

In order for water to be able to dissolve the C2H5OH molecule, it must break the covalent bonding present in the molecule

Tin has ten stable isotopes. The heaviest, 124Sn, makes up 5.80% of naturally occuring tin atoms. How many atoms of 124Sn are pr

matrenka [14]

The average atomic mass of Sn is 118.71 g/mol

the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%

the given mass of Sn is 82g

The total moles of Sn will be = mass / atomic mass = 82/118.71=0.691

Total atoms of Sn in 82g = $6.023X10^{23}X0.691=4.16X10^{23}$

the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%

So the total atoms of $Sn^{124}$ = 5.80% X $4.16X10^{23}$

Total atoms of $Sn^{124}$ = $2.41X10^{22}$ atoms

the mass of $Sn^{124}$ will be = $\frac{2.41X10^{22}X124}{6.023X10^{23}}=4.96g$

Distillation is used to separate _____.

Art [367]

Distillation is the process of separating homogeneous mixtures -and a solution is a homogenous mixture, so this is the correct answer!

A homoogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the elements are mixed so well, that the mixture has a similar composition in all its parts. A heat can be applied to this mixture then to separate the parts - this is destination!
