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.

What do the coefficients located before certain molecules in each chemical equation represent?
olga55 [171]
It represents the number of moles required of that molecule to balance the chemical equation, which means to have the reaction chemically happen and goes to completion.

For example:
CH4 + O2 --> H2O + CO2     that is not balanced

with the coefficients located
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2    now with the coefficients the number of oxygen and hydrogen on each side are equal

How do chemists solve problems?
Westkost [7]

Answer:Chemistry problems can be solved using a variety of techniques.

Explanation:  Many chemistry teachers and most introductory chemistry texts illustrate problem solutions using the factor-label method. ... The use of analogies and schematic diagrams results in higher achievement on problems involving moles, stoichiometry, and molarity. Hope this helped!

1) How many moles are in 4.0x10^24 atoms?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

<h2>6.64 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{4 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }   \\  = 6.644518...

We have the final answer as

<h3>6.64 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you
