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.

Citric acid is a naturally occurring compound. what orbitals are used to form each indicated bond? be sure to answer all parts.2
Rina8888 [55]

Answer : The orbitals that are used to form each indicated bond in citric acid is given below as per the attachment.

Answer 1) σ Bond a : C has SP^{2}  O has SP^{2} .

Explanation : The orbitals of oxygen and carbon which are involved in SP^{2} hybridization to form sigma bonds. This is observed at 'a' position in the citric acid molecule.

Answer 2) π Bond a: C has π orbitals and  O also has π  orbitals.

Explanation : The pi-bond at the 'a'position has carbon and oxygen atoms which undergoes pi-bond formation. And has pi orbitals of oxygen and carbon involved in the bonding process.

Answer 3) Bond b:  O SP^{3}  H has only S orbital involved in bonding.

Explanation : The bonding at 'b' position involves oxygen SP^{3} hydrogen atoms in it. It has SP^{3} hybridized orbitals and S orbital of hydrogen involved in the bonding.

Answer 4) Bond c:   C is SP^{3}  O is also SP^{3}

Explanation : The bonding involved at 'c' position has carbon and oxygen atoms involved in it. Both the atoms involves the orbitals of SP^{3} hybridized bonds.

Answer 5) Bond d:   C atom has SP^{3}  C atom has SP^{3}

Explanation : At the position of 'd' the bonding between two carbon atoms is found to be SP^{3}. Therefore, the orbitals that undergo SP^{3} hybridization are SP^{3}.

Answer 6) Bond e : C1 containing O SP^{2}    

C2 is SP^{3}

Explanation : The carbon atom which contains oxygen along with a double bond has SP^{2} hybridized orbitals involved in the bonding process; whereas the carbon at C2 has SP^{3} hybridized orbitals involved during the bonding. This is for the 'e' position.

One liter of a solution is found to contain 0.022 moles of HCl. Calculate the pH of the solution. Assume complete dissociation.
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 1.66

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles HCl = 0.022 moles

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate molarity of HCl

Molarity HCl = moles HCl / volume

Molarity HCl = 0.022 moles / 1 L = 0.022 M

[HCl] = [H+] = 0.022 M

Step 3: Calculate pH

pH = -log [H+]

pH = -log(0.022)

pH = 1.66

The pH of the solution is 1.66
