Which of the statements regarding alcohols and ethers are true? 1-Propanol is more likely to be a liquid at 50 °C50 °C than is m

ethoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether). Methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether) is more soluble in water than is 1-propanol. Methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether) is more likely to be a liquid at 50 °C50 °C than is 1-propanol. Alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds among themselves; ether molecules cannot. Methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether) has a higher boiling point than 1-propanol.

Answer:

Following statements are true:

1-Propanol is more likely to be a liquid at 50 than is methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether).

Alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds among themselves;ether molecules cannot

Explanation:

<u>1-Propanol is more likely to be a liquid at 50 than is methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether). </u>

This is true

Propanol has a boiling temperature (this is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor) of 97-98 °C while methoxyethane a boiling point of 7.4 °C.

This means at 50 °C propanol is liquid but methoxyethane at 50°C is a gas.

<u>Methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether) is more soluble in water than is 1-propanol.</u>

This false:

Propanol has a hydrogen bonding.  <u> </u>The OH on the alcohol can form a hydrogen bond (as a hydrogen acceptor and donor). Water can hydrogen bond. This means alcohol is will disolve in water. ( Remember Like dissolves like). So, when you have a molecule that can act as a donor and acceptor you end up with a much better interaction with water and end up with something that is more miscible. Ethers are only acceptors since they do not have a hydrogen attached to the oxygen. So, they can only accept a proton from water.

<u>Methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether) is more likely to be a liquid at 50 °C50 °C than is 1-propanol</u>

This is false because propanol has a boiling temperature (this is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor) of 97-98 °C while methoxyethane a boiling point of 7.4 °C.

This means at 50 °C propanol is liquid but methoxyethane at 50°C is a gas.

<u>Alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds among themselves;ether molecules cannot</u>

This is true because:

Ether molecules cannot form hydrogen bonding between themselves because the oxygen atom is attached to 2 alkyl or aryl groups R-O-R, e.g diethyl ether, or Ar-O-Ar, such as diphenylether (C6H5)2O

C2H5-O-C2H5,m or dimethyl ether CH3—O-CH3. however they can between ether molecules and other molecules containing hydrogen atoms, such as alcohols, CH3OH. Any molecule with the hydrogen attached to a strongly electronegative element e.g Nitrogen or fluorine.

<u>Methoxyethane (ethyl methyl ether) has a higher boiling point than 1-propanol.</u>

This is false: Methoxyethane has a boiling point of 7.4 °C while propanol has a boiling point of 97-98 °C. This can be shown because at roomtemperature Methoxyethane is a gas but propanol is a liquid.

Show the calculation of the energy involved in condensation of 150 grams of steam at 100oC if the Heat of Vaporization for water
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer : The energy involved in condensation is, 339 kJ

Explanation :

Formula used :

q=m\times L

where,

q = heat required = ?

L = latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26kJ/g

m = mass of water = 150 g

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=(150g)\times (2.26kJ/g)

q=339kJ

Therefore, the energy involved in condensation is, 339 kJ

What are the concentrations of Cu2+, NH3, and Cu(NH3)42+ at equilibrium when 18.8 g of Cu(NO3)2 is added to 1.0 L of a 0.800 M s
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cu(NO₃)₂ + 4NH₃ = Cu(NH₃)₄²⁺  + 2 NO₃⁻

187.5 gm      4M           1 M

187.5 gm reacts with 4 M ammonia

18.8 g     reacts with  .4 M ammonia

ammonia remaining left after reaction

= .8 M - .4 M = .4 M .

187.5 gm reacts with 4 M ammonia   to form 1 M Cu(NH₃)₄²⁺

18.8 g reacts with .4 M ammonia  to form 0.1 M Cu(NH₃)₄²⁺  

At equilibrium , the concentration of Cu²⁺ will be zero .

concentration of ammonia will be .4 M

concentration of  Cu(NH₃)₄²⁺ formed will be 0.1 M
