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.

The rate constant for the decomposition of nitrogen dioxide NO2(g) LaTeX: \longrightarrow⟶ NO (g) + 1/2 O2(g) with a laser beam
aleksley [76]

Answer :

The time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.

The order of reaction is, second order reaction.

Explanation :

The general formula to determine the unit of rate constant is:

(Concentration)^{(1-n)}(Time)^{-1}

Unit of rate constant                           Order of reaction

Concentration/Time                                        0

Time^{-1}                                                              1

(Concentration)^{-1}Time^{-1}                                 2

As the unit of rate constant is M^{-1}min^{-1}. So, the order of reaction is second order.

The expression used for second order kinetics is:

kt=\frac{1}{[A_t]}-\frac{1}{[A_o]}

where,

k = rate constant = 1.95M^{-1}s^{-1}

t = time = ?

[A_t] = final concentration = 0.97 M

[A_o] = initial concentration = 2.48 M

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

1.95\times t=\frac{1}{0.97}-\frac{1}{2.48}

t=0.32min=0.32\times 60s=19.2s

Therefore, the time taken by the reaction is 19.2 seconds.

Predict the reactivity of silicon in water relative to that of sodium, magnesium, and aluminium. Explain your answer. How does t
Inessa [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity of metals has a lot to do with their position in the electrochemical series. However, it is also known that metallic character decreases across the period. This implies that as we move from left to right along the periodic table. Sodium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon continues to decrease in metallic character. As a matter of fact, silicon is a metalloid and not a pure metal.

Sodium reacts with cold water to give a vigorous reaction,magnesium and aluminium reacts with steam at red heat.

Silicon does not react with water, even as steam, under normal conditions.

If two carbon atoms are bonded by a double covalent bond, how many additional bonds can each carbon atom form?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Carbon Is tetravalent. This means that at any particular point in time, the number of bonds carbon can form at a particular time is 4. Now in this particular question, there is already a double bond between the two carbon atoms. This means that each of the carbon atom has the chance to fulfill it tetra valency by attaching just two bonds to itself.

Hence, to complete the property of its tetra valency, two more bonds needed to be added to the two carbon atoms

The ph of a 0.55 m aqueous solution of hypobromous acid, hbro, at 25.0°c is 4.48. what is the value of ka for hbro?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Given:

 

pH of a 0.55 M hypobromous acid (HBrO) at 25.0 °C =  4.48

 

[H+] = 10^-4.48 = 3.31 x 10^-5 M = [BrO-] <span>

Ka = (3.31 x 10^-5)^2 / 0.55 = 2 x 10^-9</span>

 

To add, Hypobromous Acid does not require acid adjustment, which is necessary for chlorine-based product and is stable and effective in pH ranges of 5-9.<span>

</span>Hypobromous Acid combines with organic compounds to form a bromamine. Chlorine also combines with the same organic compounds to form a chloramine. <span>It is also one of the least expensive intervention antimicrobial compounds available.</span>
