Why is boiling point for carbon tertrachloride igher than methanol?

Carbon tetrachloride looks like this

Cl
Cl-C-Cl
Cl

Whereas methane looks as so,

H
H-C-H
H

——————————————————————
In structure/geometry, they’re the exact same. They have the same surface area, and neither one is polar.

The only attribute to the difference in boiling points is the total molecular weights of the atoms

CH4 is MUCH lighter than CCl4, making the molecules easier to float around.

Explanation:

oxygen and are negatively charged anions because the oxygen atoms attract electrons. Ammonium is one of the few positively charged polyatomic ions or cations and doesn't contain oxygen.

A) If Kb for NX3 is 4.5×10^−6, what is the pOH of a 0.175 M aqueous solution of NX3 ?
sukhopar [10]

3.08 is the pOH of a 0.175 M aqueous solution of NX_3.

0.215% is the per cent ionization of a 0.325 M aqueous solution of NX_3

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is.

A)

NX_3 + H_2O →NHX_3^+ + OH^-

Kb = 4.5 x10^-6

Kb = {concentration of (NH₄⁺) x concentration of (OH⁻)} ÷ concentration of (NH₃).

concentration of (NH₄⁺) = concentration of (OH⁻) = x.

x² = Kb x concentration of (NH₃)

x² = 4.5 × 10⁻⁶ × 0.175 = 7.0 × 10⁻⁷.

x = concentration of (OH⁻) = √(7.0 × 10⁻⁷)

= 8.367 × 10⁻⁴

pOH = -log(c(OH⁻))

=- log ( 8.367 × 10⁻⁴)

= 3.08

B)

Chemical reaction: NX₃ + H₂O ⇄ NX₃H⁺ + OH⁻.

Concentration of (NX₃) = 0.325 M.

Kb = 4.5 x 10⁻⁶.

[NX₃H⁺] = [OH⁻] = x.

[NX₃] = 0.325 M - x.

Kb = [NX₃H⁺] x [OH⁻] ÷  [NX₃].

4.5 x 10⁻⁶ = x² ÷ (0.325 M - x).

x = 0.0007 M.

Per cent of ionization:

α = 0. 0007 M ÷ 0. 325 M x 100%

= 0.215%.

Hence,

3.08 is the pOH of a 0.175 M aqueous solution of NX_3.

0.215% is the per cent ionization of a 0.325 M aqueous solution of NX_3

Ultraviolet radiation and radiation of shorter wavelengths can damage biological molecules because they carry enough energy to b
DIA [1.3K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Longest wavelength = 343.7 nm

<h3>Solution and Explanation:</h3>

In this question we need to first use the concept of energy of a photon.

Energy of a photon, E, is given by the formula, E = hf, where h is the plank's constant, f is the frequency.

But since, f is given by dividing speed, c, by wavelength, λ, then;

E = hc/λ

We are given 348 kJ/mol required to break carbon-carbon bonds.

We know that; 1 mole of bonds = 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

We are required to find the longest wavelength with enough energy to break the C-C bonds.

This can be worked out in simple steps:

Step 1:  Energy required to break one bond (kJ/bond)

1 mole of bonds = 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

Therefore;

348 kJ = 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

Thus;

1 bond = 348 kJ ÷ 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

           =  5.778 x 10^-22 kJ

But; 1000 joules = 1 kJ

Hence; energy per bond =  5.778 x 10^-19 Joules

Step 2: Energy per photon

Breaking one bond requires energy equivalent to energy of a photon.

Therefore;

1 photon = 5.778 x 10^-19 Joules

              = 5.778 x 10^-19 J/photon

Step 3: Calculating the wavelength

From the equation of energy of a photon;

E = hc/λ

h is the plank's constant = 6.626 × 10^-34 J/s

c is the speed of light in vacuum = 2.9998 × 10^8 m/s

E is the energy of a photon =  5.778 x 10^-19 Joules

Therefore, making λ (wavelength) the subject;

wavelength = \frac{hc}{E}

= \frac{(6.626 . 10^{-34})(92.9998.10^8) }{(5.778 .10^{-19} )}

= 3.437. 10^{-7} m

       = 3.437 x 10^-7 m

But; 1 nm = 10^-9 m

Thus;

wavelength = 343.7 nm

Therefore, the longest wavelength of the radiation will be 343.7 nm
