Answer:
A. It keeps the electrolyte solutions neutral.
Explanation:
The electrons flow from the anode to the cathode and the problem is that the cathode may become too negative. The purpose of the salt bridge is to maintain charge balance because the electrons are moving from one-half cell to the other.
Answer:
This is due to more hydrogen bonding in ethylene glycol than it is in isopropyl alcohol
Explanation:
The boiling point of isopropyl alcohol is 82.4 °C it contains only a single OH group, hence intermolecular hydrogen bonding is solely responsible for it's boiling point, whereas Ethylene glycol (CH2OHCH2OH) contains 2-OH group and both intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding are responsible for the higher boiling point of ethylene glycol at 198 °C.
Answer:
A. Intramolecular interactions are generally stronger.
B. a. Only intermolecular interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas.
Explanation:
<em>A. Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions?</em>
Intramolecular interactions, in which electrons are gained, lost or shared, constitute true bonds and are one or two orders of magnitude stronger than intermolecular interactions.
<em>B. Which of these kinds of interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas?</em>
When a liquid vaporizes, the intermolecular attractions are broken, that is, molecules get more separated. However, true bonds are not broken which is why the molecules keep their chemical identity.
