Answer:
a. Methanol remains the same
b. Methanol decreases
c. Methanol increases
d. Methanol remains the same
e. Methanol increases
Explanation:
Methanol is produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst as follows; 2H2+CO→CH3OH.
a) The presence or absence of a catalyst makes no difference on the equilibrium position of the system hence the methanol remains constant.
b) The amount of methanol decreases because the equilibrium position shifts towards the left and more reactants are formed since the reaction is exothermic.
c) If the volume is decreased, there will be more methanol in the system because the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.
d) Addition of helium gas has no effect on the equilibrium position since it does not participate in the reaction system.
e) if more CO is added the amount of methanol increases since the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.
This is false. An alcohol does indeed have a polar C-O single bond, but what we should really be focusing on is the extraordinarily polar O-H single bond. When oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen is bound to a hydrogen atom, there is a small (but not negligible) charge separation, where the eletronegative N, O, or F has a partial negative charge, and the H has a partial positive charge. Water has two O-H single bonds in it (structure is H-O-H). The partially negative charge on the O of the water molecule (specifically around the lone pair) can become attracted either a neighboring water molecule's partially positive H atom, or an alcohol's partially positive H atom. This is weak (and partially covalent) attraction is called a hydrogen bond. This is stronger than a typical dipole-dipole attraction (as would be seen between neighboring C-O single bonds), and much stronger than dispersion forces (between any two atoms). When the solvent (water) and the solute (the alcohol) both exhibit similar intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding being the most important in this case), they can mix completely in all proportions (i.e. they are miscible) in water.
The correct answer for this question is this one: "<span>In transpiration, because some of its properties change, water undergoes a physical change but keeps its identity. In photosynthesis, because its identity changes, water undergoes a chemical change</span>. "
Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.
Answer:
Ion-dipole forces
Explanation:
Na⁺ is a cation, that is, an ion with a positive charge.
NH₃ has polar covalent bonds (due to the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and hydrogen). According to the VESPR theory, it has a trigonal pyramidal shape with a lone pair. As a consequence, it has a net dipole moment and the molecule is polar.
The intermolecular forces between Na⁺ (ion) and NH₃ (dipole) are ion-dipole forces.
