Which best describes the purpose of a controlled experiment?

Which of the following substances would you predict to have the highest DHvap? Group of answer choices CH3CH2CH2CH3 CH3CH2OH HF

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a) $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3$

Explanation:

In this question we have the following answer choices:

a) $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3$

b) $CH_3CH_2OH$

c) $HF$

d) $CH_3Cl$

e) $HOCH_2CH_2OH$

We have to remember the relationship between intermolecular forces and vapor pressure. If we have stronger intermolecular forces we will have less vapor pressure because the molecules have more interactions between them, so, the molecules will prefer to stay in a liquid state rather than a gaseous state. Now, we have to check each molecule:

a) $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3$ (Van der waals interactions)

b) $CH_3CH_2OH$ (Hydrogen bonding)

c) $HF$ (Hydrogen bonding)

d) $CH_3Cl$ (Dipole-dipole interaction)

e) $HOCH_2CH_2OH$ (Hydrogen bonding)

For molecules b, c and e we have hydrogen bond to a heteroatom (O, N, S, or P). In this case oxygen, therefore we will have hydrogen bonding interactions (a very strong interaction). So, we can discard these ones.

In molecule e, we have "Cl" bond to a "C" therefore we will have the presence of a dipole (due to the electronegativity difference). If we have a dipole, we will have a dipole-dipole interaction (a strong interaction, less than hydrogen bonding but still is a strong interaction).

In molecule a, we have only Van der Waals interactions because in this molecule we have only carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded by single bonds. So, we will have a non-polar molecule. These interactions are the weakest interactions of all the molecules given. So, if we have weaker interactions the molecules can be converted to a gas state more easily and we have more vapor pressure.

If you were making S’mores [using a chocolate bar, gram-crackers, and marshmallows] at a campfire, would this process be conside

OLga [1]

Answer:

The process of making S'more by adding chocolate bar, gram-crackers, and marshmallows in layers is not a chemical reaction

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, the substances involved in the reaction are known as the reactants and the substances produced have different physical and chemical properties than those of the reactants and they are known as the products.

The bonds that hold the atoms of the reactants are broken down and rearranged, creating entirely new substances as products. Therefore, energy must be added and/or evolved in any chemical reaction and all reactant atoms should be involved in the reaction.

The change in energy can be sensed as heat change such as increase or decrease in the temperature of the products

Since S'more does not involve any of the above changes that occur in a chemical reaction when the chocolate bar, gram-crackers, and marshmallows are put together, it is not a chemical change or a chemical reaction.
