Cannabinol is a psychoactive cannabinoid that is found in trace amounts in Cannabis. This is most often found in aged Cannabis. Oxidized cannabis products and traditionally produced hashish are high in cannabinol. Cannabinol is slightly soluble in methyl alcohol at room temperature. This is because it is not very polar (two non-polar rings and one polar ring) and is solid at room temperature.

Hey there!:

It is a solid at room temperature.

Take a look at the structure of the compound. It has 3 rings total, two of which are phenyl rings, 3 methyl groups and a pentyl group while there is only one OH. That is a lot of non-polar groups for just one polar group. This is why it is sparingly soluble in MeOH at RT, it really is not a very polar molecule (the general rule of thumb is 5 C's for every polar group for the molecular to be considered polar, this of course is a generalization).

I hope that helps.

The standard reduction potential

for reference. [2]

A cell with a high reduction potential indicates a strong oxidizing agent- vice versa for a cell with low reduction potentials.

Two half cells connected with an external circuit and a salt bridge make a galvanic cell; the half-cell with the higher

E

θ

and thus higher likelihood to be reduced will experience reduction and act as the cathode, whereas the half-cell with a lower

E

θ

will experience oxidation and act the anode.

Therefore in this galvanic cell, the

the anode.

The standard cell potential of a galvanic cell equals the standard reduction potential of the cathode minus that of the anode. That is:

PLEASE HELP!! What is the concentration [H3O+] of a solution with a pH of 13.2? Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
Ilya [14]

The  concentration of [H3O+] will be 6.3 x 10^{-14} M

<h3>pH</h3>

Mathematically, pH = -log [H+] or -log [H3O+]

With a pH of 13.2:

      -log [H3O+] = 13.2

                     log [H3O+] = -13.2

                         [H3O+] = 6.3 x 10^{-14} M

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

1.

Since both components of these solutions have the same molar mass, mole fractions would be the same as mass fractions.

0.110 atm = (2/3)(Pi) + (1/3)(Pn) [1]

0.089 atm = (1/3)(Pi) + (2/3)(Pn) [2]

2*[1] - [2]:

(2)(0.110) - 0.089 atm = Pi

Pi = 0.131 atm

2*[2] - [1]:

(2)(0.089) - 0.110 atm = Pn

Pn = 0.068 atm

2.

The hydroxyl (-OH) group on the end of a longer 1-propanol molecule makes it more polar than IPA. It follows that the intermolecular forces between 1-propanol are stronger than those of IPA and thus the vapor pressure of 1-propanol should be lower than IPA.
