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.

✡ Answer: 1.23*10^2 ✡


- - Add a decimal at the end (to the right) and count till you get to the first number.
So now you have 1.23

- - Now you always want to times it by 10 to the power of how many times you moved it over, in this case, 2

Final answer: 1.23*10^2

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule with lipid solu- bility similar to that of O2 and CO2. Endothelial cells lining arteries
svp [43]

Answer:

NO passively diffuses down its concentration gradient through the endothelial cell plasma membrane out of the cell and then passiveley diffuses through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm of the smooth muscle cell, where it acts to decrease contraction.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, we must consider that O_2 and CO_2, NO passively diffuses through membranes. As it is produced by an enzyme and accumulates in the endothelial cell cytosol, NO passively diffuses down its concentration gradient through the endothelial cell plasma membrane out of the cell and then passiveley diffuses through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm of the smooth muscle cell, where it acts to decrease contraction.

Best regards

What is the molality (m) of a solution that contains 76.5 g of KCl dissolved in 85.0 g of<br> water?
ladessa [460]

Answer:

76.5g KCl/74.55 grams per mole Kcl = x

molality= x/.085 kg H2O

Explanation:

well remember molality is moles of solute/kilograms of solvent. So it's the moles of KCl over 85 g of h20 converted into kg. if this makes sense.
