Which one of the following would have the largest dispersion forces?

Chemistry

Answer:

A) CH3CH2SH

Explanation:

Dispersion forces are weak attractions found between non-polar and polar molecules. The attractions here can be attributed to the fact that a  non-polar molecule sometimes become polar because the constant motion of its electrons may lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant. If this happens, the molecule has a temporary dipole. This dipole can induce the neighbouring molecules to be distorted and form dipoles as well. The attractions between these dipoles constitute the Dispersion Forces.

Therefore; the greater the molar mass of a compound or molecule, the higher the Dispersion Force. This implies that the compound or molecule with the highest molar mass have the largest dispersion forces.

Now; for option (A)

CH3CH2SH

The molar mass is :

= (12 + (1 × 3 ) +12 + (1 ×2) + 32+1)

= (12 + 3+ 12 + 2 + 32 + 1)

= 62 g/mol

For option (B)

CH3NH2

The molar mass is:

= (12 + (1 ×  3 ) +14 + (1 ×  2)

= (12 + 3 + 14 + 2)

= 31 g/mol

For option (C)

CH4

The molar mass is :

= 12 + (1 × 4)

= 12 + 4

= 16 g/mol

For option (D)

CH3CH3

The molar mass is :

= 12 + ( 1 × 3 ) + 12 + ( 1 × 3)

= 12 + 3 + 12 + 3

= 30 g/mol

Thus ; option (A) has the highest molar mass, as such the largest dispersion force is A) CH3CH2SH

Find the value of x in the triangle
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

55.52°

Explanation:

Concept tested: Sine rule of triangles

We need to know the sine rule

  • According to sine rule, if the three sides of a triangle are a, b and c and the corresponding angles, A, B and C
  • Then, \frac{a}{SinA}=\frac{b}{SinB}=\frac{c}{SinC}

In this case;

  • If we take, a = 5.7 units and A = 70°, and

         b= 5 units, B = x°

  • Using the sine rule we can find the value of x

Therefore;

\frac{a}{SinA}=\frac{b}{SinB}

Then;

\frac{5.7}{Sin70}=\frac{5}{Sinx}

6.0658=\frac{5}{sinx}

Sinx=0.8243

Therefore, X = 55.52°

Therefore, the value of x in the triangle is 55.52°

Why are the particles moving fast in hot drinks?
Nookie1986 [14]

temperature is defined to be the average  kinetic energy.

heat energy tends to flow from higher energy to lower energy systems, so knowing the temperatures of things tells you how heat will flow between them.

EXAMPLE --------> when you step on a very hot pavement with your bare feet that makes you move a lot faster

We know that organisms pass traits onto their offspring through reproduction. So how is it
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

There are recessive traits and dominant traits

Explanation:

recessive traits are always hidden

dominant traits are the ones that are present in an organism

some recessive traits can be passed on to offsprings to become dominant

and some dominant traits can be passed on to become recessive traits

that's life

If your answer is a measurement, it is not correct unless _____. A)it is converted to an SI unit of measurement B)all the units
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

A) it is converted to an SI unit of measurement

Explanation:

The SI, System International units are the fundamental units used to measure the scientific quantities.

Example of SI units are Kilogram (km) for distance, liter (l) for liquid, centimeter (cm), and meter (m) for size of the object or short distance etcetera.

SI units help to differentiate quantities from each other and without using SI unit, no one can identify the category of the quantity whether it is distance, size or volume.

Hence, the correct answer is "A) it is converted to an SI unit of measurement".
