Question 13 (1 point) What is the number of neutrons for Silicon-31 14 31 15 29

Explain why 1 mole of diethyl ether requires less heat to

The quantity of heat required to vapourize 1 mole of a substance depends on the kind of intermolecular forces between the molecules of the substance. Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces compared to the stronger hydrogen bonding in ethanol. Therefore, 1 mole of diethyl ether requires less heat to vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of ethanol.

Intermolecular forces hold the molecules a substance together in a given state of matter. The properties of a substance such as boiling point, melting point etc are dependent on the nature of intermolecular forces holding the molecules of the substance.

Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces while molecules of ethanol are held together by hydrogen bonds.

Since hydrogen bonds are much stronger than dispersion forces, a greater quantity of heat is required to break the intermolecular hydrogen bonds in ethanol in order to vapourize them than is required to vapourize diethyl ether.

Therefore, owing to stronger intermolecular forces between molecules of ethanol, less heat is required to vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of ethanol.

What is the reason carbon atoms are the most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms?

WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

Atomic number of carbon is 6. So, 4 valence electrons are present.

Therefore, it can form 4 covalent bonds with varying bond angles by sharing its valence electrons.

Catenation is also an important property of carbon. Catenation is bonding with atoms of same element. Carbon skeleton can be formed in any direction and can vary in length, branching, and ring structure.

Elements required for making most of the molecules in living organisms are:

C, H, N, O, P and S

Carbon easily form covalents with other 5 elements.

These properties make carbon most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms.

Two samples of potassium iodide are decomposed into their constituent elements. The first sample produced 13.0g of potassium and

Leona [35]

Answer:

79.43kg

Explanation:

To adequately solve this problem, we should know the law of constant composition. This is a pointer to the fact that no matter the type of sample, the percentage compositions of potassium and iodine still remains the same. We can use these masses to get a formula and we would know the percentage compositions in whatever mass we are dealing with.

First of all, we add the masses in the first sample. 13 + 42.3 = 55.3

Hence, the percentage composition of the potassium is 13/55.3 * 100 = 23.51%

The percentage composition of the iodine is = 100 - 23.51 = 76.49%

Now, we need to get the formula of the compound. We can get this by dividing the percentage compositions with the atomic masses. The atomic mass of potassium and iodine is 39 and 127 respectively.

Potassium = 23.51/39 =0.603

Iodine = 76.49/127 = 0.602

We then divide by the smaller value to get the formula and this shoes our formula is KI

We can see they have a ratio of 1 to 1, meaning one atom of potassium to one atom of iodine. This further confirms the percentage compositions of 23.5 to 76.5

Now to get the mass of iodine yielded, let us say the mass is xkg

This means x/(x + 24.4) * 100 = 76.5

100x = 76.5( x + 24.4)

100x = 76.5x + 1866.6

100x - 76.5x = 1866.6

23.5x = 1866.6

x = 1866.6/23.5 = 79.43kg
