explain why benzoic acid is insolube in water at room temperature but is soluble in 2.5M NaOH solution

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It is known generally that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents. Based on the structure of benzoic acid, it comprises the non-polar C6H6 group and polar COOH group. Based on the structure, in benzoic acid, the nonpolar hydrocarbon outweighs and influences the polar part as nonpolar, due to which benzoic acid is not soluble in water.

On the other hand, benzoic acid produces sodium salt benzoic acid when it reacts with 2.5 M sodium hydroxide, this salt is ionic. Generally, the ionic compounds are soluble in water. Therefore, the salt of benzoic acid gets dissolved in water. Hence, benzoic acid is soluble in the solution of sodium hydroxide.

When 2.5 mol of O2 are consumed in their reaction, ________ mol of CO2 are produced
Vika [28.1K]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

The combustion of propane (C3H8) in the presence of excess oxygen yields CO_2 and H_2O

C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O (g)

When only 2.5 mol of O_2 are consumed in order to complete the reaction, ________ mol of CO_2 are produced.

Answer: Thus when 2.5 mol of O_2 are consumed in their reaction,  1.5 mol of CO_2 are produced

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O (g)

According to stoichiometry :

5 moles of O_2 produce = 3 moles of  CO_2

Thus 2.5 moles of O_2 will produce = \frac{3}{5}\times 2.5=1.5 moles of  CO_2

Thus when 2.5 mol of O_2 are consumed in their reaction,  1.5 mol of CO_2 are produced

The hot dogs you ate at the barbecue last week were 75% fat-free by weight, had 275 calories, and weighed 110 g. a) What percent
vovangra [49]

Answer:

a) 25%

b) 27.5 g

c) 90%

Explanation:

a) 75% fat-free by weight means 25% of the weight is made by fat.

b) 110 g ___ 100%

      x    ___ 25%

          x = 27.5g

Each hot dog has 27.5g of fat.

c) 9 cal ___ 1 g fat

      y    ___ 27.5 g fat

          y = 247.5 cal

275 cal ___ 100%

247.5 cal ___ z

     z = 90%

90 % of the calories come from fat.
