draw two lewis structures for a compound with the formula c2h6o and compare the boiling points of the two molecules
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation and images attached
Explanation:
There are two compounds that could have molecular formula of C2H6O, they are ethanol and methoxy methane (trivial name: methyl ether). The structures of the two compounds are shown in the image attached as obtained from quora.
The boiling point of methoxymethane is -24.8°C while that of ethanol is about 78.5°C. The reason for the high boiling point of ethanol is the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding leading to a stronger intermolecular interaction compared to methoxymethane molecules held together only by very weak dispersion forces.

Answer:
Explanation:
A galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs.
The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.
As it is given that cadmium acts as anode, it must be on the left hand side and copper must be on right hand side.
