In order for the molecules to actually separate from each other, more energy must be added. This energy, called heat of fusion or heat of melting, is absorbed by the particles as potential energy as the solid changes to a liquid. I hope this helps

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Pyridine will neutralize the acid by-product of the reaction.

Explanation:

In the esterifications, hydrochloric acid is released as a by-product that reacts directly with the pyridine in the medium to give the pyridine hydrochloride.

Which of these are elimination reactions? Check all that apply.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

C3H7OH → C3H6 + H20

Explanation:

If we look at the reactant and the product we will realize that the reactant is an alcohol while the product is an alkene. The reaction involves acid catalysed elimination of water from an alcohol.

Water is a good leaving group, hence an important synthetic route to alkenes is the acid catalysed elimination of water from alcohols. Hence the conversion represented by C3H7OH → C3H6 + H20 is an elimination reaction in which water is the leaving group.

Choose the statement below that is correct for gas particles according to KMT.
rewona [7]

Answer:

2.At a given temperature, the KE of all gases is the same.KE depends only on Kelvin temperature

Explanation:

The kinetic molecular theory of gases provides a succint expalantion and insight into the behaviour of gases. The assumptions of the theory are stated below:

  1. Gases are made up of large number of identical molecules which are moving at different speeds.
  2. Spaces occupied by molecules of gases are negligible compared to the volume of the container.
  3. Molecules of gases are independent of one another.
  4. The molecules collide with themselves and the walls of the container elastically.
  5. The temperature of a gas is a measure of only the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
