Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A substance is only soluble in water if it is composed of ions or polar groups which are capable of interaction with water.

Salt is composed of ions which are easily solvated by the dipoles of water molecule. Sucrose is composed of polar groups capable of interaction with water. This accounts for the solubility of sucrose (sugar) in water. Sugar is a covalent molecule but is composed of polar groups while salt is composed of ionic bonds.

Hence salt and sugar are both soluble in water for the reasons described above.

Los isomeros ópticos

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Los isómeros ópticos son dos compuestos que contienen el mismo número y tipo de átomos, y enlaces (es decir, la conectividad entre los átomos es la misma), y diferentes disposiciones espaciales de los átomos, pero que tienen imágenes especulares no superponibles. Cada estructura de imagen especular no superponible se denomina enantiómero.

When 10 g of diethyl ether is converted to vapor at its boiling point, about how much heat is absorbed? (c4h10o, δhvap = 15.7 kj

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

ΔH= 3KJ

Explanation:

The total heat absorbed is the total energy in the process, and that is in form of entalpy.

ΔH = q + ΔHvap, where q is the heat necessary for elevate the temperature of dietil ether. Suppose the initial temperature is room temperature (25ºC=298 K), then

q= 10g x2.261 J/gK x(310 K - 298K)= 271.32 J= 0.3 kJ

Then

ΔHvap = 10g C4H10O x (1 mol C4H10O/74.12 g C4H10O) x( 15.7 KJ/ 1 mol C4H10O) = 2.12 KJ

ΔH= 2.5KJ ≈ 3KJ

Two gas-filled tanks have the same volume, temperature, and pressure. They are identical in every way except that one is filled

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The tank with O₂ weighs more.

Explanation:

We can find the mass of gas using the ideal gas equation.

$P.V=n.R.T=\frac{m}{M} .R.T\\m=\frac{P.V.M}{R.T}$

Considering the pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T) and ideal gas constant (R) are the same, we can establish that:

m ∝ M

The mass is directly proportional to the molar mass. The molar mass of O₂ (32 g/mol) is higher than the molar mass of N₂ (28 g/mol). Therefore, the tank with O₂ weighs more.
