Identify the intermolecular attractions for dimethyl ether and for ethyl alcohol. Which molecule is expected to be more soluble

in water? Explain.
Chemistry

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.

What is the mass sample of 0.0500 moles of zinc chloride ?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

6.82g

0.59moles

Explanation:

1. What is the mass sample of 0.0500 moles of zinc chloride ?

Given parameters:

Number of moles ZnCl₂ = 0.05moles

Unknown:

Mass of the sample  =  ?

Solution:

To find the mass of a substance using the number of moles, it would be pertinent to understand what mole is.

A mole is a substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

It relates to the mass using the expression below;

                Mass of a substance  = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of  ZnCl₂;

        Atomic mass of Zn  = 65.4g/mol

                                   Cl = 35.5g/mol

Molar mass = 65.4 + 2(35.5)  = 136.4g/mole

Mass of a substance  = 0.05 x 136.4  = 6.82g

2. How many moles of potassium sulfide are in a 65.50g sample?

Given parameters:

Mass of K₂S  = 65.5g

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

The number of moles of any substance is related to mass using the expression below;

              Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Molar mass of K₂S  = 2(39) + 32  = 110g/mol

              Number of moles  = \frac{65.5}{110}   = 0.59moles

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Option C. hydroxide ions (OH-).

Explanation:

A base is a substance which dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ion (OH-) as the only negative ion. It therefore means that a base contains more hydroxide ions (OH-).

Write the expression for the equilibrium constant Kp for the following reaction. (Enclose pressures in parentheses and do NOT wr
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer and Explanation:

For the following balanced reaction:

PCl₅(g) ↔ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

We can see that all reactants and products are gases, so it is an homogeneous equilibrium. The expression for the equilibrium constant Kp can be written from the partial pressures (P) of reactants and products as follows:

Kp=\frac{(P PCl_{3})(P Cl_{2})}{(P PCl_{5})}

Where PPCl₃ is the partial pressure of PCl₃ (reactant), PCl₂ is the partial pressure of Cl₂ (reactant) and PPCl₅ is the partial pressure of PCl₅ (product).
