Many hydrocarbons exist as structural isomers, which are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structures

. For example, both butane and isobutane have the same molecular formula: C4H10- Calculate the mole percent of isobutane in an equilibrium mixture at 25° C, given that the standard Gibbs energy of formation of butane is -15.9 kJ/mol and that of isobutane is -18.0 kJ/mol. Does your result support the notion that straight-chain hydrocarbons (that is, hydrocarbons in which the C atoms are joined in a line) are less stable than branched-chain hydrocarbons?

Answer:

Explanation:

Butane ⇒ Isobutane

ΔG = RT ln K

ΔG = - 18 + 15.9 = - 2.1 kJ / mol

- 2.1 x 10³ = 8.3 x 298 x lnK

lnK = .85

K = 2.33

[ isobutane ] / [ butane ]  = 2.33

isobutane / total mixture = 2.33 / 3.33 = .7

% of isobutane = 70 % .

70% is isobutane and 30 %  butane . Since equilibrium is tilted towards isobutane , it is more stable . Butane is straight chain and isobutane is branched chain compound .

The high polarity of the oxygen-carbon bond in alcohols is what allows them to be soluble in water.
Anna11 [10]

This is false. An alcohol does indeed have a polar C-O single bond, but what we should really be focusing on is the extraordinarily polar O-H single bond. When oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen is bound to a hydrogen atom, there is a small (but not negligible) charge separation, where the eletronegative N, O, or F has a partial negative charge, and the H has a partial positive charge. Water has two O-H single bonds in it (structure is H-O-H). The partially negative charge on the O of the water molecule (specifically around the lone pair) can become attracted either a neighboring water molecule's partially positive H atom, or an alcohol's partially positive H atom. This is weak (and partially covalent) attraction is called a hydrogen bond. This is stronger than a typical dipole-dipole attraction (as would be seen between neighboring C-O single bonds), and much stronger than dispersion forces (between any two atoms). When the solvent (water) and the solute (the alcohol) both exhibit similar intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding being the most important in this case), they can mix completely in all proportions (i.e. they are miscible) in water.

Which group will have a charge of +2 when ionized?
inysia [295]

Answer:

Alkaline earth metals

Explanation:

Group 2 has 2 valence electrons that they lose when being ionized, thus making  their charge 2+.
