meriva3 years ago
6 0
Quick look: In its modern sense, epigenetics is the term used to describe inheritance by mechanisms other than through the DNA sequence of genes. It can apply to characteristics passed from a cell to its daughter cells in cell division and to traits of a whole organism

Which one of the following would have the largest dispersion forces?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

A) CH3CH2SH

Explanation:

Dispersion forces are weak attractions found between non-polar and polar molecules. The attractions here can be attributed to the fact that a  non-polar molecule sometimes become polar because the constant motion of its electrons may lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant. If this happens, the molecule has a temporary dipole. This dipole can induce the neighbouring molecules to be distorted and form dipoles as well. The attractions between these dipoles constitute the Dispersion Forces.

Therefore; the greater the molar mass of a compound or molecule, the higher the Dispersion Force. This implies that the compound or molecule with the highest molar mass have the largest dispersion forces.

Now; for option (A)

CH3CH2SH

The molar mass is :

= (12 + (1 × 3 ) +12 + (1 ×2) + 32+1)

= (12 + 3+ 12 + 2 + 32 + 1)

= 62 g/mol

For option (B)

CH3NH2

The molar mass is:

= (12 + (1 ×  3 ) +14 + (1 ×  2)

= (12 + 3 + 14 + 2)

= 31 g/mol

For option (C)

CH4

The molar mass is :

= 12 + (1 × 4)

= 12 + 4

= 16 g/mol

For option (D)

CH3CH3

The molar mass is :

= 12 + ( 1 × 3 ) + 12 + ( 1 × 3)

= 12 + 3 + 12 + 3

= 30 g/mol

Thus ; option (A) has the highest molar mass, as such the largest dispersion force is A) CH3CH2SH

Express 749 000 000 in scientific notation,
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

7.49 × 108

Explanation:

Scientific notation is a way to express numbers in a form that makes numbers that are too small or too large more convenient to write. It is commonly used in mathematics, engineering, and science, as it can help simplify arithmetic operations. In scientific notation, numbers are written as a base, b, referred to as the significant, multiplied by 10 raised to an integer exponent, n, which is referred to as the order of magnitude:

Sodium metal is sometimes used as a cooling agent in heat exchange units because of its relatively high molar heat capacity of 2
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The specific heat of sodium is 1,23J/g°C

Explanation:

Using the atomic weight of sodium (23g/mol) and the atomic weight definition, we have that each mole of the substance has 23 grams of sodium.

starting from this, we use the atomic weight of sodium to convert the units from J / mol ° C to J / g ° C

28,2 \frac{J}{mol C} x \frac{1mol}{23g} = 1,23 J/g C

Og is the noble gas after Rn. To go from [Rn] to [Og], you must fill four subshells (s, p, d, and f) with a total of 32 electron
Marianna [84]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Since we have to fill five subshells in moving from Og to the next noble gas in the eight period, we have to know the maximum electrons contained in each of those subshells;

s= 2, p=6, d= 10, f= 14, g = 18

This means that we need a total of 50 electrons to fill all the five subshells.

Hence, the element just below Sg in the eight period will have an atomic number of 156.

Lighting a match changes ch and energy into heat.​
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The answer remains the same. The total amount of energy stays the same because the 1st Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms. So the chemical energy is just being converted into heat and light.

Explanation:

hope this helps...
