In a few sentences, describe the molecular polarity and the intermolecular forces present in ammonium lauryl sulfate.

1 answer:

8 0

The common name of ammonium dodecyl sulfate is ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS) with molecular formula (CH3(CH2)10CH2OSO3NH4). ... Hence, one intermolecular force that is present in this molecule is electrostatic forces of attraction between the non-polar chain and polar end group.

Explain Wurtz reaction with an example ~

Deffense [45]

Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution

Please bear in mind that wurtz reaction fails whenever tertiary alkyl halides are used.

An example of Wurtz reaction is given below:

2R – X + 2Na → R–R + 2Na + X−

<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>

Organic compounds can simply be defined as those classes of organic molecules which contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds).

Below are some few general characteristics of organic compounds:

All organic compounds contain carbon.

Most of them are flammable.

They are all soluble in non-polar solvents

Most organic compounds / substances are covalently bonded molecules

Some classes of organic compounds are:

Alkanes
Alkenes
Alkenes

So therefore, Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution

Classify each of these soluble solutes as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte. Solutes formula hydroch

matrenka [14]

Compounds which on dissolving in water gets completely dissociates into its ions are known as strong electrolytes whereas compounds which on dissolving in water gets partially dissociates into its ions are known as weak electrolytes.

Substances which gives solution on dissolving in water and do not dissociates into ions also does not conduct electric current are known as nonelectrolyte.

Hydrochloric acid, $HCl$

On adding $HCl$ (strong acid) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $H^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Sodium hydroxide, $NaOH$

On adding $NaOH$ (strong base) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $Na^{+}$ and $OH^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Formic acid, $HCOOH$

On adding $HCOOH$ (weak acid) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions ( $H^{+}$ and $HCOO^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

Methyl amine, $CH_3NH_2$

On adding $CH_3NH_2$ (weak base) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions ( $CH_3NH_3^{+}$ and $OH^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

Potassium chloride, $KCl$

On adding $KCl$ in water, it will completely dissociates into ions ( $K^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

Ethanol, $C_2H_5OH$

On adding $C_2H_5OH$ in water, it will not dissociates into ions and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.

Sucrose, $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$

On adding $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$ in water, it will not dissociates into ions and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.
