In an experiment, two unknown compounds (one an ether and the other an amine) of equal molecular mass were dissolved in water. T

he result of the experiment is shown in the table.
Solubility Comparison
Unknown Compound Solubility (g/100 ml water)
A 4
B 0.25


Which of the following correctly explains the identity of Compound A and its solubility?
It is an amine; it contains a nitrogen atom that will allow nitrogen-hydrogen bonds to form while in water.
It is an ether; because the oxygen atom is within the carbon chain, so it is free to form oxy-hydrogen bonds to make it more soluble.
It is an ether; the high polarity of the oxygen-hydrogen bond makes it more soluble.
It is an amine; because the lower electronegativity of N than H makes it more soluble.

Answer:

It is an amine; it contains a nitrogen atom that will allow nitrogen-hydrogen bonds to form while in water.

Explanation:

The solubility of amines owes largely to the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen. Remember that when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative element such as nitrogen, intermolecular hydrogen bonding is possible with water molecules. This explains the greater solubility of amines in water.

Ether molecules do have an oxygen atom, however, and engage in hydrogen bonding with water molecules to a lesser extent compared to amines.

Also, amines participate in some acid-base reactions that lead to the formation of diethylammonium hydroxide, an ion which leads to a greater solubility of amines compared to an ether.

Hence, compound A is an amine.

Espresso Coffee House is designing a coffee mug that keeps liquids hot. The research department tested several different materia
raketka [301]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because the result of the described experiment would have better determined the type of scientific explanation to profer. However, the type of material that will preserve the relative hotness or temperature of the hot coffee for the longest time will be a material than can resist heat transfer. These materials tend to keep hot substances hot by not allowing the heat of the coffee to be conducted or pass through it. These materials are mostly insulators or made by placing an insulator between two heat conductors.

Generally, heat is usually transferred from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, hence when the heat is denied of this transfer, the heat will remain trapped in the "heat-donor" substance (in this case the hot coffee). Thus, the material chosen (A, B or C) will be the material that resists heat transfer the most based on the explanation above.

[V+N−C+A]

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

:

In the given molecule, antimony is the central atom and there are five chlorine as monovalent atoms.

The number of electron pairs are 5 that means the hybridization will be sp^3dsp

Over [174]

Answer:

Oxygen and Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Oxygen is required for respiration whereby energy is released from natural occurring nutrients accompanied by the release of water and carbon dioxide. carbon dioxideis also required by plants to photosynthesise.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide in the troposphere supports life as by enabling respiration in organisms and photosynthesise in plants can. Without oxygen in an environment, only life forms that live by anaerobic respiration will thrive. This affects a regions carrying capacity
