Why does naphthalene have a higher melting point than biphenyl?

1 answer:

4 0

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

How many gallons of gasoline that is 5% ethanol must be added to 2,000 gallons of gasoline with no ethanol to get a mixture that

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$V_1= 3000 gal$

Explanation:

We have 3 solutions:

Solution 1 (with ethanol)
Solution 2 (no ethanol)
Final solution

$V_f=V_1 + V_2$

and for the ethanol:

$V_f*0.03=V_1*0.05 + V_2*0$

$V_f=V_1 \frac{5}{3}$

Combining:

$V_1 \frac{5}{3}=V_1 + V_2$

$V_1 \frac{2}{3}= V_2$

$V_1= \frac{3}{2} V_2$

If V2=2000 gal:

$V_1= \frac{3}{2} 2000 gal$

$V_1= 3000 gal$

What happens when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is from areas of high concentration to low concentration.

Explanation:

A concentration gradient exists for these molecules, so they have the potential to diffuse into (or out of) the cell by moving down it.

Hope this Helps!

How does a buffer resist change in ph upon addition of a strong acid?

lora16 [44]

Any buffer exists in this equilibrium

HA <=> $H^+ + A^-$
In a buffer, there is a large reservoir of both the undissociated acid (HA) and its conjugate base ( $A^-$ )

When a strong acid is added, it reacts with the large reservoir of the conjugate base ( $A^-$ ) forming a salt and water. Since this large reservoir of the conjugate base is used, the ph does not alter drastically, but instead resist the pH change.
