Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

All molecules possess the London dispersion forces. However London dispersion forces is the only kind of intermolecular interaction that exists in nonpolar substances.

So, the only kind of intermolecular interaction that exists in dimethyl ether is London dispersion forces.

As for ethyl alcohol, the molecule is polar due to the presence of polar O-H bond. In addition to London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions and specifically hydrogen bonding also occurs between the molecules.

Because ethyl alcohol is polar, it is more soluble in water than dimethyl ether.

Predict the mass of iron (III) sulfide produced when 3.0 g of iron filings react completely with 2.5 g of yellow sulfur solid, S
777dan777 [17]
1) Chemical equation

16Fe(s) + 3S8(s) ---> 8Fe2S3

2) Molar ratios:

16 mol Fe : 3 mole S8 : 8 mol Fe2S3

3) Convert masses in grams to number of moles

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

a) iron, Fe

mass = 3.0 g
atomic mass = 55.845 g/mol

=> number of moles of Fe = 3.0g / 55.845 g/mol = 0.0537 mol

b) Sulfur, S8

mass = 2.5 g
molar mass = 8*32.065 g/mol = 256.52 g/mol

=> number of moles of S8 = 2.5g / 256.52 g/mol = 0.009746 mol

4) Limiting reactant

Theoretical ratio                           actual ratio

16 mol Fe / 3 mol S8                 0.0537 mol Fe / 0.009746 mol S8

5.33                                               5.50

So, there is a little bit more Fe than the theoretical needed to react all the S8, which means the S8 is the limiting reactant.

5) Calculate the number of moles of iron (III) produced with 2.5 g (0.009746 moles) of S8

3moles S8 / 8 moles Fe2S3 = 0.009746 moles S8 / x

=> x = 0.009746 * 8 / 3 moles Fe2S3 = 0.026 moles Fe2S3

6) Convert 0.026 moles Fe2S3 into grams

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of Fe2S3 = 207.9 g/mol

mass = 0.026 mol * 207.9 g/mol = 5.40 g

7) Answer: option D)

nlexa [21]

In the reaction of silver nitrate with copper metal, metallic silver comes out of solution, and the solution turns blue. This as a <u>single replacement</u> reaction.

<h3>What is single replacement reaction?</h3>

A single replacement reaction, also known as a single displacement reaction, occurs when one element in a molecule is swapped out for another. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound.

A + BC → B + AC

When A is more reactive than B or when the product AC is more stable than BC, single replacement reactions happen. A and B could either be two halogens or two metals (with hydrogen included) (C is a cation). C functions as a spectator ion when BC and AC are in aqueous solutions.

For example, 2HCl(aq)+Zn(s)→ZnCl₂(aq)+H₂(g)
