Intermolecular forces are at work and determine boiling points.

In alkanes there are only carbon and hydrogen. The partial charge of the carbon of one molecule is only weakly attracted to the hydrogen partial charge of a neighbouring molecule. These weak intermolecular forces result in a low boiling point as they are easily broken.

Alcohol terminates on a OH group. The intermolecular forces between the partial charge of Oxygen and a hydrogen of a neighbouring molecule is significantly stronger, resulting in a significantly higher boiling point.

Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to produce sodium chloride. What mass (grams) of sodium metal would be needed to fully rea
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

105.8 g of Na would be required

Explanation:

Let's think the reaction:

2Na(s)  + Cl₂(g)  →  2NaCl (s)

1 mol of chlorine reacts with 2 moles of sodium

Then, 2.3 moles of Cl₂ would react with (2.3 .2) / 1 = 4.6 moles

Let's determine the mass of them.

4.6 mol . 23 g/mol = 105.8 g

Temperature cloud cover and thunder are all examples of
Umnica [9.8K]

Temperature, cloud cover and thunder are all examples of weather.  

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Weather is described as conditions that prevail for a short period of time and the above-mentioned factors change variably throughout the day. Cloud cover simply describes the clouds coverage in the sky. It is one factor that is used to describe weather conditions since the type of clouds indicates prevailing weather.

For example, the presence of cirrus means there will be a storm in 24 to 48 hours. Weather conditions characterized by thunder is said to be stormy and it also has other conditions such as lightning, wind and fast rain with heavy raindrops. Temperature affects the warmness and coldness of the air and its movement. Moreover, it also affects all other aspects of weather conditions.

4. A 0.51 kg solution contains 87 mg of potassium iodide. Calculate the W/W concentration
anzhelika [568]

Taking into account the definition of percentage composition, the percent composition of potassium iodide in this sample is 0.017%.

<h3>Definition of percent composition </h3>

The Percentage Composition is a measure of the amount of mass that an element occupies in a compound and indicates the percentage by mass of each element that is part of a compound.

To calculate the percentage of composition, it is necessary to know the mass of the element in a known mass of the compound.

<h3>Percentage Composition in this case</h3>

In this case, you know that a 0.51 kg (or 510000 mg, being 1 kg= 1000000 mg) solution contains 87 mg of potassium iodide.

Dividing the mass amount of potassium iodide present in the compound by the mass of the sample and multiplying it by 100 to obtain a percentage value, the percentage composition of potassium iodide is obtained:

percentage composition of potassium iodide=\frac{87 mg}{510000 mg} x100

<u><em>percentage composition of potassium iodide= 0.017%</em></u>

Finally, the percent composition of potassium iodide in this sample is 0.017%.
