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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]2 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.

Predict whether each of the following molecules is polar or non-polar:a) IF,b) CS2, c) SO3, d) PCl3, e) SF6, f) IF5.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Polar: IF, PCl3, IF5  

Nonpolar: CS2, SO3, SF6

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
  • Polar molecules form when two atoms do not share electrons equally in a covalent bond.
  • A molecule is classified as a polar molecule when the arrangement of the atoms is such that one end of the molecule has a positive electrical charge and the other end has a negative charge.
  • A non-polar molecule does not have electrical poles.The electrons are distributed more equally.
  • Therefore, a non-polar molecule does not have a profusion of charges at the opposite ends. The majority of hydrocarbon liquids are non-polar molecules.

At 20 degrees Celsius, the density of air is 1.20 g/L. Nitrogen's density is 1.17 g/L. Oxygen's density is 1.33 g/L. Will balloo
Alinara [238K]

Explanation:

Since, density is the amount of mass present in per unit volume.

Mathematically,      Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

As density is directly proportional to mass of a substance. So, more is the density of a substance more will be its mass. And, when more is the mass of a substance then it is likely to sink at the bottom.

Here, it is given that density of oxygen is more than the density of nitrogen. Therefore, balloons filled with oxygen will sink in the air.

On the other hand, balloons filled with nitrogen will rise in the air.
