<span>Sucrose is more soluble in water. The reason can be attributed to hydrogen bonding between water molecules and sucrose molecules. </span>

Answer:

Sucrose.

Explanation:

Hello,

On the attached pictures you will find the structural formulas for both lauric acid and sucrose respectively. In this manner, since the sucrose has more OH bonds promoting the formation of hydrogen bond-like intermolecular forces with water, it will be more soluble in water than lauric acid, since it just has a remote carboxyle functional group which is not enough to provide solubility in water.

Best regards.

If the δh°soln of hno3 is –33.3 kj/mol, then how much heat is evolved by dissolving 0.150 mol hno3 in 100.0 ml of water?

Leto [7]

Answer: - 5.00 kJ

Explanation:

1) The heat evolved during the reation is proportional to the number of moles dissolved.

2) Proportionality = ratio is constant

<span>3) δh°soln of HNO3 is –33.3 kJ/mol => ratio 1

                  -33.3 kJ
ratio 1 = ---------------------
                 1 mol HNO3

4) ratio 2

        x
--------------
0.150 mol
</span>
5) proportion

ratio 1 = ratio 2

      x                -33.3 kJ
--------------- =    -------------- => x = 0.150 mol * (-33.3kJ) / 1 mol = - 4.995 kJ ≈
0.150 mol              1 mol

≈ - 5.00 kJ
