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.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Option (1) Br– is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a faster pathway with Br– than without

Explanation:

Let us consider the equation below:

Step 1:

H2O2(aq) + Br–(aq) → H2O(l) + BrO–(aq)

Step 2:

BrO–(aq) + H2O2(aq) → H2O(l) + O2(g) + Br–(aq)

From the above equation, we can see that Br– is unchanged.

This implies that Br– is the catalyst as catalyst does not take part in a chemical reaction but they create an alternate pathway to lower the activation energy in order for the reaction to proceed at a much faster rate to arrive at the products.

Need help setting the problem up
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

4.0 moles

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume (V) = 12L

Pressure = 5.6 atm

Temperature (T) = 205K

Gas constant (R) = 0.08206 atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) =?

Using the ideal gas equation: PV = nRT, the number of mole of the gas can be obtained as follow

PV = nRT

5.6 x 12 = n x 0.08206 x 205

Divide both side by 0.08206 x 205

n = (5.6 x 12)/(0.08206 x 205)

n = 4.0 moles

Therefore, the number of mole of the gas is 4.0 moles
