Why does naphthalene have a higher melting point than biphenyl?

1 answer:

4 0

Naphthalene has a higher melting point than biphenyl because naphthalene is a polar compound while biphenyl is a non-polar compound. Studies show that polar compounds have higher melting and boiling points than nonpolar compounds. It is because polar compounds have strong intermolecular forces.

Find the volume of 20g of H₂ at STP

ANEK [815]

Answer:224

Explanation:

We should answer it with Stoichiometry

We say: 20 g H2× (1 mol/ 2g)× ( 22.4 lit/ 1 mol) = 224

Means: we have 20 grams and every 2g H2, equals to 1 mol of it and every 1 mol of H2, equals to 22.4 lit( because of STP)

hope you got this:)

Newton's second law of motion is F = ma.

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: The acceleration of the object is 2m/s^2. If net force increases, acceleration will also increase and if mass increases, the acceleration will decrease.

Explanation:

Force is defined as the product of object's mass and acceleration.

Mathematically,

F = ma ......(1)

or,

a = F/m .....(2)

where,

F = Force exerted on an object = 60N

m = mass of an object = 30kg

a = acceleration of the object = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

a = 60 kg.m/s^2/30 kg = 2m/s^2

The acceleration of the car is 2m/s^2.

From equation 2, it is visible that acceleration is directly proportional to force. This means that \if force increases, acceleration also increases.

And acceleration is inversely proportional to mass of the object. This means that if mass increases, the acceleration decreases.

Hence, if net force increases, acceleration will also increase and if mass increases, the acceleration will decrease.

A sample of a compound is decomposed in the laboratory and produces 330 g carbon, 69.5 g hydrogen, and 220.2 g oxygen. Calculate

Zarrin [17]

Answer: Empirical formula is $C_2H_5O$

Explanation: We are given the masses of elements present in a sample of compound. To evaluate empirical formula, we will be following some steps.

Step 1 : Converting each of the given masses into their moles by dividing them by Molar masses.

$Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Molar mass of Carbon = 12.0 g/mol

Molar mass of Hydrogen = 1.0 g/mol

Molar mass of Oxygen = 16.0 g/mol

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{330g}{12g/mol}=27.5moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{69.5g}{1g/mol}=69.5moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{220.2g}{16g/mol}=13.76moles$

Step 2: Dividing each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated above and rounding it off to the nearest whole number value

Smallest number of moles = 13.76 moles

$\text{Mole ratio of Carbon}=\frac{27.5moles}{13.76moles}=1.99\approx 2$

$\text{Mole ratio of Hydrogen}=\frac{69.5moles}{13.76moles}=5.05\approx 5$

$\text{Mole ratio of Oxygen}=\frac{13.76moles}{13.76moles}=1$

Step 3: Now, the moles ratio of the elements are represented by the subscripts in the empirical formula

Empirical formula becomes = $C_2H_5O$
