Answer:

Explanation:

To form hydrogen bondings between the molecules, the compound needs a highly electronegative atom (usually N, O, or F) bonded with a hydrogen atom;

and that the highly electronegative atom has lone pair outermost shell electrons.

In the 5 options, only B (CH3OH) has an N, O, or F atom that has lone pair outermost shell electrons (2 lone pairs on each O atom), so it can form hydrogen bonds within its molecules.

Hydrogen bonds are stronger than the van der Waals' forces between its molecules (that exist regardless of whether there are hydrogen bonds).

A chemist makes up a solution by dissolving 42.0 g of Mg(NO3)2 in enough water to produce a final solution volume of 259 mL. To

Answer:

The molar mass of Mg(NO₃)₂, 148.3 g/mol.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of Mg(NO₃)₂ (solute): 42.0 g

Volume of solution: 259 mL = 0.259 L

Step 2: Calculate the moles of solute

To calculate the moles of solute, we need to know the molar mass of Mg(NO₃)₂, 148.3 g/mol.

42.0 g × 1 mol/148.3 g = 0.283 mol

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the solution

M = moles of solute / liters of solution

M = 0.283 mol / 0.259 L

M = 1.09 M

Calculate the mass (in g) of 2.1 x 1024 atoms of W.

vfiekz [6]

Set up your units to algebraically cancel out the original unit, and end up with the units of the answer in the final numerator. We'll first convert to moles by using Avogadro's number, then the atomic mass of tungsten (W) from the periodic table, since the mass, in grams, of one mole of any element is the atomic mass number:
2.1x10∧24 atoms W x (1 mole/6.022x10∧23 atoms) x (183.84g/1 mole) = 641.089 grams
Since your given number has only two significant figures (2.1), your answer should also only express in 2 sig figs: 6.4x10∧2 grams
