Diethyl ether and butan-1-ol are isomers, and they have similar solubilities in water. their boiling points are very different,

however. explain why these two compounds have similar solubility properties but dramatically different boiling points

The structure of diethyl ether and butan-1-ol are shown in the figure.

As shown in the figure the diethyl ether will be able to form hydrogen bond with water and so is butanol, due to presence of highly electro-negative element  (oxygen)

However  a molecule of diethyl ether is not able to form such hydrogen bond with another diethyl ether molecule. Due to this it has lower boiling point

Butanol is able to form hydrogen bond with another butanol molecule due to this it has high boiling point

The individual components of a solution_____.
Misha Larkins [42]
Its been awhile since I've dabbled in chemistry, but i do know that A isnt the answer because the question says solution, not mixture. This looks somewhat like a trick question, it says individual components, so the answer would be C. This is because the individual components do react to form a compound. B and D would be true if it didnt say individual components, so the question is basically focusing on only one ingredient, not the whole solution. Answer: C

You have at your disposal 3 1-pound bags of various pure salts that dissolve readily in water. You can add one of the bags to a
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

However, it should be noted that addition of soluble salts generally lowers the freezing point of water hence after the addition, water will no longer freeze at 0°C but lower.

Soluble salts tend to form more ions in water, it is these ions that are responsible for interfering with the hydrogen bonds hence lowering the freezing. Thus, (since each bag are of the same weight) <u>the bag that contains the salt that ionizes more in water will lower the freezing point by the greatest amount</u>.

NOTE: Different weight of the salts could lead to more ions been formed in the water by some salts as against the other.

Calculate the enthalpy of formation of butane, C4H10, using the balanced chemical
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

-125.4

Explanation:

Target equation is 4C(s) + 5H2(g) = C4H10

These are the data equations for enthalpy of combustion

  1. C(s) + O2(g) =O2(g) -393.5 kJ/mol * 4
  2. H2(g) + ½O2(g) =H20(l) = 285.8 kJ/mol * 5
  3. 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) = 13/2O2 (g) + C4H10 - 2877.1 reverse

To get target equation multiply data equation 1 by 4; multiply equation 2 by 5; and reverse equation 3, so...

Calculate 4(-393.5) + 5(-285.8) + 2877.6 and you should get the answer.
