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.

4vir4ik [10]
When the temperature of a gas within a rigid container decreases, the particles on average move more slowly and do not collide with one another or the container walls as often. It is the the ideal gas law that applies in this situation and states that a decrease in the temperature of a gas also results in a decrease in the pressure. Thus, automobile tyres which have a colder gas in the winter sometimes need additional air to provide suffiicient pressure.

What is the strong nuclear force
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A fundamental interaction of nature that acts between subatomic particles of matter. The strong force binds quarks together in clusters to make more-familiar subatomic particles, such as protons and neutrons. Something like that.

Burka [1]
Answer is: ammonia experience only dispersion intermolecular forces with BF₃ (boron trifluoride) because BF₃ is only nonpolar molecule (vectors of dipole moments cansel each other, dipole moment is zero).
The London dispersion force (intermolecular force) <span>is a temporary attractive </span>force between molecules.

What is the molality of a solution containing 10.0 G of NA2 S04 and 1000.0 G of water
galina1969 [7]

Explanation:

1 literThe total of water is equal to 1000.0 g of water

we need to find the molality of a solution containing 10.0 g of dissolved in  Na₂S0₄1000.0 g of water

1. For that find the molar mass

Na:  2 x 22.99= 45.98

S:  32.07

O:  4 x 16= 64

The total molar mass is 142.05

We have to find the number of moles, y

To find the number of moles divide 10.0g by 142.05 g/mol.

So the number of moles is 0.0704 moles.

For the molarity, you need the number of moles divided by the volume. So, 0.0704 mol/1 L.

The molarity would end up being 0.0704 M

The molality of a solution containing 10.0 g of Na2SO4 dissolved in 1000.0 g of water is  0.0704 Mliter
