Answer:

Water, in either liquid or solid form, is often a key agent of mechanical weathering. For instance, liquid water can seep into cracks and crevices in rock. If temperatures drop low enough, the water will freeze. ... This specific process (the freeze-thaw cycle) is called frost weathering or cryofracturing.

What would be the major product obtained from hydroboration–oxidation of the following alkenes?

zmey [24]

Answer:

a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol

b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol

Explanation:

For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an "anti-Markovnikov" reaction. This means that the "OH" will be added at the least substituted carbon of the double bond.

In the case of 2-methyl-2-butene, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore the "OH" will be added to carbon three producing 3-methylbutan-2-ol.

For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore the "OH" will be added to carbon 2 producing 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol.

See figure 1

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.

The answer lies in the large separation of atoms and molecules in gases, compared to their sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2. Because atoms and molecules have large separations, forces between them can be ignored, except when they collide with each other during collisions. The motion of atoms and molecules (at temperatures well above the boiling temperature) is fast, such that the gas occupies all of the accessible volume and the expansion of gases is rapid. In contrast, in liquids and solids, atoms and molecules are closer together and are quite sensitive to the forces between them.

Can someone tell me how to differentiate if a given salt is acidic, basic, or neutral?

$\bold{\huge{\underline{ Solution }}}$

<h3>Basic Characteristic of acids </h3>

Acids are sour in taste
Acid turns blue litmus paper or solution into red litmus paper or solution
Acids are good conductor of electricity because it dissociate into cation in aqueous solution
Acids classified into edible acids and non edible acids. Non edible acids are very hazardous
Generally, All acids are soluble in water
Acids have PH smaller than 7

Arrhenius definition of acids :-

According to Arrehinus,

Acids are those substances which when dissolve in water given H positive ions . Then, this hydrogen ions combine with water to form H30 + ions

Second definition of Acids was given by Bonsted Lowry :-

According to Bonsted Lowry

Acids are the proton donors that is when acids dissociate into water gives hydrogen ions that is H+ ions

3rd definition was given by Lewis 

According to Lewis

Acids are those substances which have the ability to accept a pair of electrons .

Example of Acids

HNO3 :- Nitric acid
H2SO4 :- Sulfuric acid
HCl :- Hydrochloric acid

<h3>Basic characterists of bases </h3>

Bases are bitter in taste
Bases turns red litmus paper into blue litmus paper or solution
Bases are also good conductor of electricity because on dissociation it produces anion in aqueous solution
Bases are also good conductor of electricity
When bases are soluble in water then they are known as alkaline base
Bases have PH greater than 7

Arrehinus definition of bases :-

According to Arrehinus ,

Bases are those substances which when dissolve in water produce OH negative ions that is hydroxide ions

Bonsted Lowry definition 

According to Bonsted Lowry

Bases are the proton donors as they produce OH negative ions in dissociation in aqueous solution

Lewis definition 

According to Lewis

Acids are those substances which have the ability to lose electrons that is they are electron donors.

Example of bases

Ca(OH)2 :- Calcium hydroxide
NaOH :- Sodium hydroxide
KOH :- Potassium hydroxide

[ Note :- There are so many Lewis acids and bases but they are not Arrhenius or Lowry acids or bases ]

<h3>Basic characteristic of salt </h3>

Salts are the ionic compounds which are composed of acids and bases that cation and anion
Salts are generally found in oceans and seas in the forms of crystals
As they are composed of acids and bases so they are neutral in nature but the salt of strong acid or weak base is acidic in nature or vice versa
Salts are also good conductor of electricity as they form ionic bond
Generally, All salts are soluble in water.
The PH of common Salt is 7

Example of salts

NH4Cl :- Ammonium chloride
CuSO4 :- Copper sulphate
NaCl :- Sodium chloride

If the freezing point of an aqueous 0.10 m glucose solution is −x°c, what is the approximate freezing point of a 0.10 m nacl sol

maks197457 [2]

Answer is: the approximate freezing point of a 0.10 m NaCl solution is -2x°C.
Van't Hoff factor (i) for NaCl solution is approximately 2.
Van't Hoff factor (i) for glucose solution is 1.
Change in freezing point from pure solvent to solution: ΔT = i · Kf · m.
Kf - molal freezing-point depression constant for water is 1,86°C/m.
m - molality, moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Kf and molality for this two solutions are the same, but Van't Hoff factor for sodium chloride is twice bigger, so freezing point is twice bigger.
