Answer:

B. CH3CH2OH

Explanation:

Ethanol has a chemical formula of CH3CH2OH, it is the second member of the series in the alkanol family. Ethanol is a colourless, volatile liquid with a characteristic smell and taste. It is readily soluble in water in all proportions. It has a boiling point of 78° C. The physical properties such as the solubility of alkanols are affected by the presence of hydrogen bonding. The hydroxyl group is capable of bonding to other alkanol molecules. The boiling points rise with increasing molecular mass.

    Hydrogen bonding helps the molecules to stick together. For example comparing the boiling point of pentane ( 36° C) with that of butan-1-ol (118° C) , the boiling point of alkanol is much higher even though the two compound are of similar relative molecular mass. This is due to the presence of hydrogen bonds in butanol.

    Hydrocarbons are not soluble in water but alkanols are soluble in water because of the hydroxyl groups in the molecules can form hydrogen bond with water. Solubility of alkanol in water decreases as the number of carbon atom increases. Primary alcohol with more than five carbon atoms are insoluble in water.

If you have an aqueous solution that contains 1.5 moles of hcl, how many moles of ions are in the solution? (a) 1.0, (b) 1.5, (c
Darya [45]

If you have an aqueous solution that contains 1.5 moles of HCl, the number of moles of ions in the solution is 3.0 moles.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Strong acids  </h3>
  • Strong acids are types of acids that undergo complete dissociation to form ions when dissolved in water.
  • Examples of such acids are, HCl, H2SO4 and HNO3
  • Dissociation of HCl

HCl + H₂O ⇔ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

<h3>Weak acids  </h3>
  • Weak acids are types of acids that undergo incomplete dissociation to form ions when dissolved in water.
  • Examples of such acids are acetic acids and formic acids.
  • Dissociation of  acetic acid

H₃COOH ⇔ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺; CH₃COO⁻ is a conjugate base of acetic acid.

<h3>In this case;</h3>
  • HCl which is a strong acid that ionizes completely according to the equation;

HCl + H₂O ⇔ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

  • From the equation, 1 mole of HCl produces 1 mole of H₃O⁺ ions and 1 mole of OH⁻ ions.

Therefore;

1.5 moles of HCl will produce;

= 1.5 moles of H₃O⁺ ions and 1.5 moles of OH⁻ ions.

This gives a total number ions of;

= 1.5 + 1.5

= 3 moles of ions

Lyrx [107]
The answer would be C. In fact, letter A already defines the Law of Definite Proportions. On the other hand, J.J. Thomson was responsible for the discovery of electrons through cathode ray tube experiments. The rest of the choices are true.

Which feature is most likely found at a divergent boundary?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges. While the process of forming these mountain ranges is volcanic, volcanoes and earthquakes along oceanic spreading ridges are not as violent as they are at convergent plate boundaries.
