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:
To prepare 1.00 L of 2.0 M urea solution, we need to dissolve 120 g of urea in enough water to produce a total of 1.00 L solution
Explanation:
Molarity of a solute in a solution denotes number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 L of solution.
So, moles of urea in 1.00 L of a 2.0 M urea solution = 2 moles
We know, number of moles of a compound is the ratio of mass to molar mass of that compound.
So, mass of 2 moles of urea =
Therefore to prepare 1.00 L of 2.0 M urea solution, we need to dissolve 120 g of urea in enough water to produce a total of 1.00 L solution
So, option (C) is correct.
