Answer:

Benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than acetaldehyde

Explanation:

Electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon depends on it's positive charge density.

In benzaldehyde, phenyl group can act as an electron donating group towards carbonyl group due to it's electron donating resonating effect.

In acetaldehyde, methyl group can act as an electron donating group towards carbonyl group due to it's electron donating inductive effect.

We know that resonating effect are more stronger than inductive effect.

Henece, it is expected that positive charge density on carbonyl carbon is much lower in benzaldehyde than acetaldehyde.

So, benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than acetaldehyde.

Resonating effect of phenyl group has been shown below.

What are the molality and mole fraction of solute in a 22.3 percent by mass aqueous solution of formic acid (HCOOH)?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Mole fraction for solute = 0.1, or 10%

Molality = 6.24 mol/kg

Explanation:

22.3% by mass → In 100 g of solution, we have  22.3 g of HCOOH

Mass of solution = 100 g

Mass of solute = 22.3 g

Mass of solvent = 100 g - 22.3g = 77.7 g

Let's convert the mass to moles

22.3 g . 1mol/ 46 g = 0.485 moles

77.7 g. 1mol / 18 g = 4.32 moles

Total moles = 4.32 moles + 0.485 moles = 4.805 moles

Xm for solute = 0.485 / 4.805 = 0.100 → 10%

Molality → mol/ kg → we convert the mass of solvent to kg

77.7 g.  1 kg / 1000g = 0.0777 kg

0.485 mol / 0.0777 kg = 6.24 m

If 4.168 kJ of heat is added to a calorimeter containing 75.40 g of water, the temperature of the water and the calorimeter incr
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter  C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

Explanation:

Given data

Heat added Q = 4.168 KJ = 4168 J

Mass of water m_w = 75.40 gm

Temperature change = ΔT = 35.82 - 24.58 = 11.24 ° c

From the given condition

Q = m_w C_w ΔT + C_c ΔT

Put all the values in above equation we get

4168 = 75.70 × 4.18 × 11.24 +  C_c × 11.24

611.37 =  C_c × 11.24

C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

This is the value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter.

Which of the following contains a nonpolar covalent bond? O2 CO NaCI HF
jasenka [17]

Answer: The nonpolar covalent bond happens in an O₂ molecule.

Explanation: Nonpolar bonds happen where there's no difference between the polarity of the atoms involved. This usually happens when the same atoms bond to each other, which explains why the O₂ molecule is the one who has this bond.
