Which of the following forms a molecular solid? Which of the following forms a molecular solid? C, graphite C10H22 CaO gold

Damm [24]

Answer:

C10H22

Explanation:

Molecular Solids comprises of a Vander waal's force of attraction between the molecule. These forces are very weak when compared to ionic and covalent bond.

In Carbon, Carbon is not a molecule but an atom. One of it unique characteristics is that it forms bonds with other carbon atoms. This property is know as catenation. The bond between these carbon atoms is know as covalent bond.

Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. It exists as black , slippery, hexagonal crystals.The carbon atoms in graphite forms flat layers and are joined together by strong covalent bonds. Graphite can be used as lubricant in engines.

Gold (Au) is an element on the periodic table with atomic number 79 and a mass number 197. It exists as a metal. Most times Gold forms hydrogen bonds.

C10H22 is known as decane. It is the tenth compound formed in the series of alkane family( an organic unsaturated carbon chain family). Alkanes are aliphatic hydrocarbons. The forces of attraction between the alkane family are weak.In decane , their exists Vander waal's force which makes Decane C10H22 a Molecular Solid.

How much heat (kJ) is absorbed by 229.1 g of water in order for the temperature to increase from 25.00∘C to 32.50∘C?

hammer [34]

Answer:

(Q1) 9.42 kJ.

(Q2) 1.999 kJ

Explanation:

Heat: This is a form of Energy that brings about the sensation of warmth.

The S.I unit of Heat is Joules (J).

The heat of a body depend on the mass of the body, specific heat capacity, and temperature difference. as shown below

Q = cm(t₂-t₁) ........................ Equation 1

(Q1)

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)

Where Q = amount of heat absorbed, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature.

Given: m = 229.1 g = 0.2991 kg, t₁ = 25.0 °C, 32.50 °C

Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substituting into equation 1

Q = 0.2991×4200(32.5-25)

Q = 1256.22(7.5)

Q = 9421.65 J

Q = 9.42 kJ.

Hence the heat absorbed = 9.42 kJ

(Q2)

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)

Where Q = amount of heat required, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature.

Given: m = 34 g = 0.034 kg, t₁ = 9 °C, t₂ = 23 °C

Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Q = 0.034×4200(23-9)

Q = 142.8(14)

Q = 1999.2 J

Q = 1.999 kJ.

Thus the Heat required = 1.999 kJ

Write an ionic equation for the reaction of acetic acid with sodium ethoxide, and specify whether the equilibrium favors startin

Elina [12.6K]

<h2>Acetic Acid + Sodium ethoxide ⇄ Butyric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide</h2>

Explanation:

An ionic equation for the reaction of acetic acid with sodium ethoxide is as follows -

Reactants -

Acetic Acid and Sodium ethanolate (sodium ethoxide)

Products -

Butyric Acid and Sodium hydroxide

Hence,

Acetic Acid + Sodium ethoxide ⇄ Butyric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide

$CH_3COOH + C_2H_5ONa$ ⇄ $CH_3COOC_2H_5 + NaOH$

Weak acids and bases have low energy than strong acids and bases.

The chemical equilibria shift the reaction side with the species having lower energy.

Given reaction is an acid-base reaction in which the equilibrium favors the starting material that means it will go to the side of the weakest acid that is acetic acid is weaker than butyric acid.

You wish to construct a buffer of pH=7.0. Which of the following weak acids (w/ corresponding conjugate base) would you select?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

C.) HOCl Ka=3.5x10^-8

Explanation:

In order to a construct a buffer of pH= 7.0 we need to find the pKa values of all the acids given below

we Know that

pKa= -log(Ka)

therefore

A) pKa of HClO2 = -log(1.2 x 10^-2)

=1.9208

B) similarly PKa of HF= -log(7.2 x 1 0^-4)= 2.7644

C) pKa of HOCl= -log(3.5 x 1 0^-8)= 7.45

D) pKa of HCN = -log(4 x 1 0^-10)= 9.3979

If we consider the Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the buffer solution

The weak acid for making the buffer must have a pKa value near to the desired pH of the weak acid.

So, near to value, pH=7.0. , the only option is HOCl whose pKa value is 7.45.

Hence, HOCl will be chosen for buffer construction.

The specific spatial arrangement of amino acid residues that are close to each other in the polypeptide chain is called______the

natulia [17]

Answer:

c. tertiary.

Explanation:

In this case, we can review the definition of each level of structuration in the proteins:

Primary structure

In the primary structure, the amino acids are linked by peptide bonds. That is, the order of the amino acids is the criterion that defines this type of structure.

Secondary structure

In the secondary structure, we have to look at the way in which the protein is folded. The options are:

-) Beta-laminar: A structure in which the protein has a planar shape.

-) Alpha-helix: A structure in which the protein has a cross-strand form.

Tertiary structure

In the tertiary structure, the R groups that the amino acids have in the primary structure can generate interactions with each other. Interactions such as hydrogen bridges, dipole-dipole, hydrophobic interactions. This makes the protein have a very specific three-dimensional structure, on which its function depends.

Quaternary structure

In the quaternary structure, several subunits may be attached, or there may be prostatic groups (metals that can help to attach various protein units).

With all these in mind, the deffinition that fits with the description in the question is the tertiary structure.

I hope it helps!
