The solubility of alcohol decrease with increasing numbers of carbon atom explain​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Oxana [17]2 years ago
6 0

The number of carbon atoms in an alcohol affects its solubility in water, as shown in Table 13.3. As the length of the carbon chain increases, the polar OH group becomes an ever smaller part of the molecule, and the molecule becomes more like a hydrocarbon. The solubility of the alcohol decreases correspondingly.

The component which dissolves in a solution is called the?
VladimirAG [237]

The correct answer is Solute

Explanation:

In chemistry, a solution refers to a homogenous mixture of two substances that occurs through dissolution, this means once they are mixed the substances form a uniform new substance and cannot be easily separated. Additionally, in chemistry, the substances involved in a solution are either classified as solutes if they are the substances that dissolve to form a solution or as solvents in the case of substances in which the solute dissolves in. For example, if you mix salt and water, the salt acts as the solute while the water is the solvent. Thus, the component which dissolves in a solution is called the solute.

Why would defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Defective collagen proteins affect an individuals joints, as <u>collagen is an important component protein in body</u><u> connective tissues</u>

Explanation:

Collagen is a crucial protein in the extracellular matrix of various connective tissues in body (tendons, ligaments, muscles). It constitutes major protein component in mammals body.

Collagen Vascular disease is a group of diseases affecting 'collagen' connecting tissue. Apart from inheritance, they can con occur due to autoimmune disease. This implies that body's immune system fights against itself & mistakenly damages its own tissues. So, these diseases have a huge bearing on body joints components. Eg : Lupus , Arthritis are common collagen vascular diseases. Arthritis mostly affects adults above 30 years of age, lupus can be diagnosed in younger people above 15 years of age also.

What is the edge length of a face-centered cubic unit cell that is made of of atoms, each with a radius of 154 pm
gladu [14]

Answer:

The edge length of a face-centered cubic unit cell is 435.6 pm.

Explanation:

In a face-centered cubic unit cell, each of the eight corners is occupied by one atom and each of the six faces is occupied by a single atom.

Hence, the number of atoms in an FCC unit cell is:

8*\frac{1}{8} + 6*\frac{1}{2} = 4 atoms

In a face-centered cubic unit cell, to find the edge length we need to use Pythagorean Theorem:

a^{2} + a^{2} = (4R)^{2}     (1)

Where:

a: is the edge length

R: is the radius of each atom = 154 pm      

By solving equation (1) for "a" we have:

a = 2R\sqrt{2} = 2*154 pm*\sqrt{2} = 435.6 pm    

Therefore, the edge length of a face-centered cubic unit cell is 435.6 pm.   

I hope it helps you!

What is the chemical formula for a compound between Li and Br?
natima [27]

LiBr.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Note that the group number in this answer refers to the new IUPAC group number, which ranges from 1 to 18. Counts from the left. Start with the first two column (group 1 and 2), go on to the transition elements (Sc, Ti, etc. in group 3 through 12), and continue with the nonmetals (group 13 through 18).  

Li is a group 1 metal. As a metal, it tends to form positive ions ("cations"). Metals in group 1 and 2 are <em>main group</em> metals. The charge on main group metal ions tends to be the same as the group number of the metal. Li is in group 1. The charge on an Li ion will be +1. Formula of the Li ion will be \text{Li}^{+}.

Br is a group 17 nonmetal. As a nonmetal, it tends to form negative ions ("anions"). The charge on nonmetal ions excepting for H tends to equal the group number of the nonmetal minus 18. Br is in group 17. The charge on a Br ion will be 17 - 18 = -1. Formula of the Br ion will be \text{Br}^{-}

All the ions in an ionic compound carry charge. However, some of the ions like \text{Li}^+ are positive. Others ions like \text{Br}^{-} are negative. Charge on the two types of ions balance each other. As a result, the compound is <em>overall</em> neutral.

1 × (+1) + 1 × (-1) = 0. The positive charge on one \text{Li}^{+} ion balances the negative charge on one \text{Br}^{-} ion. The two ions would pair up at a 1:1 ratio.

The empirical formula for an ionic compound shows all the ions in the compound. Positive ions are written in front of negative ions. \text{Li}^{+} is positive and \text{Br}^{-} is negative. The formula shall also show the simplest ratio between the ions. For the compound between Li and Br, a 1:1 ratio will be the simplest. The "1" subscript in an empirical formula can be omitted. Hence the formula: LiBr.
