Chemistry

The quantity of heat required to vapourize 1 mole of a substance depends on the kind of intermolecular forces between the molecules of the substance. Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces compared to the stronger hydrogen bonding in ethanol. Therefore,  1 mole of diethyl ether requires less heat to  vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of  ethanol.

Intermolecular forces hold the molecules a substance together in a given state of matter. The properties of a substance such as boiling point, melting point etc are dependent on the nature of intermolecular forces holding the molecules of the substance.

Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces while molecules of ethanol are held together by hydrogen bonds.

Since hydrogen bonds are much stronger than dispersion forces, a greater quantity of heat is required to break the intermolecular hydrogen bonds in ethanol in order to vapourize them than is required to vapourize diethyl ether.

Therefore, owing to stronger intermolecular forces between molecules of ethanol, less heat is required to vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of  ethanol.

The osmotic pressure of a solution formed by dissolving 35.0 mg of aspirin (c9h8o4) in 0.250 l of water at 25°c is __________ at
Lunna [17]
Mass of aspirin = 0.025 g
Molar mass of C9H8O4 is 180.1583 g/mol
moles of aspirin = .025g / 180.1583 g/mol = 0.000138767 moles
volume solution = .250 L
molarity of the solution = 0.000138767 moles / .250L =5.551 x 10 ^-04 Moles / liter
for aspirin i = Vant'Hoff factor = 1 particle in solution
T = 25 + 273 =298 K
osmotic pressure = M x R x T x i =
5.551 x 10 ^-04 mole L -1 x 0.08206 L atm K−1 mol−1 x 298 K x 1 = 0.0136 atmospheres

What is nuclear energy ​
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms in a reactor to heat water into steam, turn a turbine and generate electricity.

Explanation:

Ninety-five nuclear reactors in 29 states generate nearly 20 percent of the nation's electricity, all without carbon emissions because reactors use uranium, not fossil fuels.
