Answer: polar molecule.

Explanation:

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure surrounding the liquid. The boiling point is dependent on the type of forces present.

Iodine monochloride (ICl) is a polar molecule due to the difference in electronegativities of iodine and chlorine. Thus the molecules are bonded by strong dipole dipole forces. Thus a higher temperature is needed to generate enough vapor pressure.

Bromine $(Br_2)$ is a non polar molecule as there is no electronegativity difference between two bromine atoms. The molecules are bonded by weak vanderwaal forces and thus has low boiling point.

The molar concentration of sucrose in a can of soda is 0.375 M. How much sucrose would be found in a 2 liter bottle of soda of t

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

C) 0.75 mol.

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the no. of moles of solute dissolved in 1.0 L of the solution.

So, The molar concentration of sucrose in a can of soda is 0.375 M means that: every 1.0 L of sucrose contains 0.375 mol of sucrose.

∴ 2 liter bottle of soda of the same concentration contains (2 * 0.375 mol = 0.75 mol) of sucrose.

Thus, the right choice is: C) 0.75 mol.

(a) Calculate the energy released by the alpha decay of 222 86Rn.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a). The energy released by the alpha decay of 222 Rn is to 218 Po :

= 5.596 MeV

b).The energy of the alpha particle is 5.5 MeV

c) The recoil energy of Po = 0.096 MeV

Explanation:

The equation for the alpha decay of Rn to Polonium is:

$_{86}^{222}\textrm{Rn}\rightarrow$ $_{2}^{4}\textrm{He}+_{84}^{218}\textrm{Po}$

The energy of the decay process can be calculated using:

$\Delta E=\Delta mc^{2}$

$\Delta m$ = Change in the mass

Mass of Po = 218.008965 u

Mass of He = 4.002603 u

Mass of Rn = 222.017576 u

$\Delta m$ = mass of Po + mass of He - mass of Rn

= 4.002603 + 218.008965-222.017576

= - 0.006008

$\Delta E=m(931.5MeV)$

$\Delta E=-0.006008\times 931.5MeV$

= -5.596 MeV

The negative sign means energy is released during the process.

b) The energy of the alpha particle is :

$\frac{Po\ mass }{Rn\ mass}\times E$

$\frac{218.0089}{222.0175}\times \Delta E$

$\frac{218.0089}{222.0175}\times 5.596$

= 5.494 MeV

= 5.5 MeV

c).

Recoil energy: When the parent nucleus is at rest before the decay then , there must be the some recoil of daughter nucleus to conserve the momentum.This is termed as recoil energy.

The energy of the recoil polonium atom :

The formula for recoil energy is :

The total energy - the kinetic energy

= 5.596 - 5.5

= 0.096 MeV

Which isomer of 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane reacts faster when refluxed with potassium tert-butoxide?Draw the structure of t

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The reaction of 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane with potassium tert-butoxide is an elimination reaction that occurs by E2 mechanism.

The E2 reaction proceeds faster when the hydrogens are in an antiperiplanar position at an angle of 180 degrees.

This is only attainable in the trans isomer of 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane. Hence trans 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane reacts faster with potassium tert-butoxide
