Now, examine the structures of benzhydrol and fluorene. Both compounds contain the same number of carbons but have very differen

t melting points. At first glance, one might expect benzhydrol to exhibit the higher melting point. Why might one think this?

Answer:

The OH group

Explanation:

Benzhydrol contains OH hydroxyl group in its molecule while fluorene does not. At first glance, one would think that OH, which contributes to hydrogen bonding would causes melting point of benzhydrol to be higher than fluorene. <em>However, </em>the structure of benzhydrol, which is 2 benzene rings connected to center hydroxyl carbon (PhCOHPh), allows for each benzene rings in benzhydrol to rotate until both rings are perpendicular to minimize repulsive force. This prevents the molecule from stacking on each other due to its non flat shape, and thus, lowering its melting point in contrast to flat fluorene molecule.

Find the final equilibrium temperature when 15.0 g of milk at 13.0 degrees c is added to 148 g of coffee with a temperature of 8
user100 [1]

According to zeroth law of thermodynamics, when two objects are kept in contact, heat (energy) is transferred from one to the other until they reach the same temperature (are in thermal equilibrium). When the objects are at the same temperature there is no heat transfer.

So, at equilibrium, q_{lost}=q_{gain},  q_{lost}= q_{milk} + q_{coffee}

q=m×c×T, where q = heat energy, m = mass of a substance, c = specific heat (units J/kg∙K), T is temperature

q_{lost}= (15X13X4.19)+(148X88.3X4.19), (15+148)X4.19XT_{final}=(15X13X4.19)+(148X88.3X4.19)

T_{final}= 81.37 ° C

Name two compounds with more exothermic lattice energies than scandium oxide and justify your choice.
N76 [4]

Answer:

1 . Al_2O_3

2. TiO_2

Explanation:

The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.

  • The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
  • The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.

Scandium oxide (Sc_2O_3) is an oxide in which Sc^{3+} behaves as cation and O^{2-} behaves as anion.

The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:

1 . Al_2O_3

This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation Al^{3+} is smaller than Sc^{3+}. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

2. TiO_2

This is because the charge on the cation Ti^{4+} is greater than that of Sc^{3+} and also the size of the cation Ti^{4+} is smaller than Sc^{3+}. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

Zinc oxide adopts a face-centered cubic arrangement. Both Zinc ions and oxide ions adopt the face-centered cubic arrangement; wi
vichka [17]

Answer:

5.41 ×10⁻²²

Explanation:

We were told right from the question that both the Zinc ions and the Zinc oxide adopts a face-centered cubic arrangement.

Then, the number of ZnO molecule in one unit cell = 4

The standard molar mass of ZnO = 81.38g

Avogadro's constant = 6.023 × 10²³ mole

∴

The mass of one unit cell of zinc oxide can be calculated as:

= \frac{4*81.38}{6.023*10^{23}}

= 5.40461564×10⁻²²

≅ 5.41 ×10⁻²²

∴ The mass of one unit cell of zinc oxide = 5.41 ×10⁻²²
