Answer:

Explanation:

Polarity is about differencens in electronegativity. CH bonds have around the same electronegativity value so a CH bond is nonpolar. The more CH bonds there are in a molecule, the more nonpolar it is. Since CH3CH2OH has more carbon-hydrogen bonds than CH3OH, it is more nonpolar. With the same reasoning, since CH3OH has less CH bonds, it's more polar.

Answer:

H+ + OH− --> H2O

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is represented by the chemical formular; HCl. This is an ionic substance so in water it breaks apart into hydrohrn ions; H+ and chloride ions; Cl−. It is a strong acid, hence it completely dissociates.

Potassium Hydroxide is also an ionic substance it also breaks apart in water into potassium ions; K+ and hydroxide ions; OH−. It is a strong base, hence it completely dissociates.

The complete ionic equation for the reaction is given as;

H+ + Cl− + K+ + OH− --> K+ + Cl− + H2O

The Hydrogen ion and the Hydroxide ions combine to form water.

The net ionic equation is given as;

H+ + OH− --> H2O

Cl- and K+ ions were cancelled out because they do not undergo any changes therefore are not part of the net ionic equation. They are referred to as spectator ions.

Which of the solutions have greatest osmotic pressure 30% sucrose 60% sucrose or 30% magnesium sulfate?

timofeeve [1]

Answer:Osmotic pressure is the minimum amount of pressure a solution must exert in order to prevent from crossing a barrier by osmosis. Solute molecules have difficulty crossing semipermeable membranes, so the more solutes that are in a solution, the higher the osmotic pressure will be. Between 30% sucrose and 60% sucrose, 60% sucrose will have a greater osmotic pressure than 30% because it has a higher percentage of solutes. However, since sucrose has a higher potential to cross semipermeable membranes and is more absorbable than magnesium sulfate, magnesium sulfate would have a higher osmotic pressure than 60% sucrose even though 60% sucrose has higher molecules.

Which equation is set up correctly to determine the volume of a 1.5 mole sample of oxygen gas at 22°C and 100 kPa?

LenKa [72]

The volume could be calculated by using V = n RT / P 

In which V = Volume
n = number of Moles
R= The Gas constant
T = Temperature (ideally this would be in Kelvin, but i don't see it in the option)
P = Pressure

I believe the answer is

V = (1.5mol) (0.08205 L*kPa/K*mol) (22Celsius)/100 kPa

A student is given a 2.002 g sample of unknown acid and is told that it might be butanoic acid, a monoprotic acid (HC4H7O2, equa

Elina [12.6K]

Answer: The identity of the unknown acid is butanoic acid or ascorbic acid.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$
