Chemistry

Allushta [10]2 years ago

Cohesion – The attraction of water molecules to each other and creates high surface tension in water. An example of how it helps support life on Earth is that it allows insects to walk across the surface.

Adhesion – The attraction of water molecules to other substances and allows water to travel against gravity. An example of this is water moving up a tree even when there is gravity.

Specific heat capacity – the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount. An example of this is a swimming pool staying the same temperature no matter if it is hot or cold outside.

Expansion upon freezing – Water expands when its frozen which will keep it from sinking. Floating ice keeps the water underneath it warm. An example of this is an iceberg floating on top of a body of water.

Universal solvent – Can dissolve almost anything, usually water. An example is that water transports important chemicals or nutrients/minerals that is needed for all living organisms.

I just learned about this lol...

Hope this helps UwU

A. Describe the molecule chlorine dioxide, CIO in terms of three possible resonance structures.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The compound ClO2 has 19 valence electrons.  ClO2 is a bent molecule with tetrahedral electron pair geometry but has two  lone pairs of electrons. This is indicated by the presence of four electron pairs on the outermost shell of the central atom.

The molecule has an odd number of valence electrons, hence, it is generally regarded as a paramagnetic radical. None of the proposed Lewis structures for the molecule is satisfactory because none of them obeys the octet rule.

From the images attached, one can easily see that the electron dots around the oxygen and chlorine atoms does not satisfy the octet rule in all the resonance structures shown.

Calculate the mass of ethyl alcohol required to prepare 540 grams of C4H6, if the reaction follows the scheme:
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

2C₂H₅OH    =   C₄H₆  +  2H₂O  +  H₂

2 mole               1 mole

molecular weight of ethyl alcohol

mol weight of C₂H₅OH = 46 gm            

mol weight of C₄H₆  54 gm

540 gm of C₄H₆ = 10 mole

10 mole of C₄H₆ will require 20 mol of ethyl alcohol .

20 mole of ethyl alcohol = 20  x 46

= 920 gm

ethyl alcohol required = 920 gm .

(plz anwser all questions 15 points)
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

1. B, D,

2.A, F

Explanation:

1. According to the law of conservation of mass, In a course of chemical reaction, matter can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. This means the amount of matter at the begining and ending of a reaction must be thesame.

2. Chemical reaction is not easily reversible. when gas is produced, provided the reaction system is an open system, the gas cannot be recovered and the reactants cannot be recovered from the products. likewise color change are attributed to chemical reaction
