Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Isopropyl methyl ether is slightly soluble in water because the oxygen atom of ethers with 3 or lesser carbon atoms can form hydrogen bonds with water. Therefore, the given statement is true.

What is hydrogen bonding?

Hydrogen bonding is a special class of attractive intermolecular forces that arise because of the dipole-dipole interaction between hydrogen that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom and another highly electronegative atom that lies in the neighborhood of the hydrogen atom.

For example, in water, hydrogen is covalently bonded to the oxygen atom. Therefore, hydrogen bonding arises because of the dipole-dipole interactions between the hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the oxygen atom of another water molecule.

The solubility of ether in water depends upon the extent of the formation of hydrogen bonds with water. Ether which contains three carbon atoms is soluble in water due to these lower hydrocarbon atoms can form hydrogen bonding with water.  

But the solubility of hydrocarbons or ethers decreases as increase the number of carbon atoms. This is because higher ethers or ethers with more carbons have more hydrophobic parts. Therefore they cannot be soluble in water as they cannot form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

True

Hydrogen bond is a partial intermolecular bonding interaction between a lone pair on an electron rich donor atom, particularly the second-row elements nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F), and the antibonding orbital of a bond between hydrogen (H) and a more

electronegative atom or group. Such an interacting system is generally denoted Dn–H···Ac, where the solid line denotes a polar covalent bond, and the dotted or dashed line indicates the hydrogen bond. The use of three centered dots for the hydrogen bond is specifically recommended by the IUPAC. While hydrogen bonding has both covalence and electrostatic contributions, and the degrees to which they contribute are currently debated, the present evidence strongly implies that the primary contribution is covelant.

Hydrogen bonds can be intermolecular (occurring between separate molecules) or

intramolecular (occurring among parts of the same molecule)

How many sodium ions are in 1.4 kg of sodium chloride, NaCl?

Answers

Answer:

1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NaCl  = 1.4kg  = 1400g

Unknown:

Number of ions of sodium  = ?

Solution:

The compound NaCl in ionic form can be written as;

      NaCl →  Na⁺ + Cl⁻

In 1 mole of NaCl we have 1 mole of sodium ions

 Now, let us find the number of moles in NaCl;

  Number of moles  = (mass)/(molar mass)  

    Molar mass of NaCl  = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Number of moles  =  (1400)/(58.5)     = 23.93mol

 So;

   Since 1 mole of NaCl gives 1 mole of Na⁺  

    In 23.93 mole of NaCl will give 23.93 mole of Na⁺

1 mole of a substance  = 6.02 x 10²³ ions of a substance

  23.93 mole of a substance  =  6.02 x 10²³ x  23.93

                                                   = 1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺

Draw the Lewis structure for XeCl2 and answer the following questions.How many valence electrons are present in this compound?
How many bonding electrons are present in this compound?
How many lone pair (non-bonding) electrons are present in this compound?

Answers

Answer:

Valence electrons in XeCl2 = 8 + 7 + 7 = 22.

Bonding electrons = 4.

Nonbonding electrons = 18.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, you can see the Lewis structure on the attached picture, in which you can see that there are since xenon has 8 valance electrons and each chlorine has 7 valence electrons, the total amount of valence electrons is:

Valence electrons in XeCl2 = 8 + 7 + 7 = 22.

Moreover, since each chlorine atom is bonding with one of the eight electrons of xenon (Lewis structure), we can see there are 4 bonding electrons.

Finally, since there are six nonbonding electrons per chlorine atom and six nonbonding electrons in xenon, the overall nonbonding electrons are:

Nonbonding electrons in XeCl2 = 6 + 6 + 6 = 18.

The vapor pressure of liquid octane, C8H18, is 100 mm Hg at 339 K. A sample of C8H18 is placed in a closed, evacuated 537 mL container at a temperature of 339 K. It is found that all of the C8H18 is in the vapor phase and that the pressure is 68.0 mm Hg. If the volume of the container is reduced to 338 mL at constant temperature, which of the following statements are correct?a. No condensation will occur.
b. Some of the vapor initially present will condense.
c. The pressure in the container will be 100. mm Hg.
d. Only octane vapor will be present.
e. Liquid octane will be present.

Answers

Answer:

the final pressure (108.03 mmHg ) inside the container at 339 K is more than the vapor pressure of liquid octane (100 mmHg) at 339 K.

Hence,

b. Some of the vapor initially present will condense.

e. Liquid octane will be present.

Explanation:

Given that;

The vapor pressure of liquid octane, C8H18, is 100 mm Hg at 339 K

Initial volume of the container, V1 = 537 mL

Initial vapor pressure, P1 = 68.0 mmHg

Final volume of the container, V2 = 338 mL

Let us say that the final vapor pressure = P2  

From Boyle's law,

P2V2 = P1V1

P2 * 338 = 68.0  * 537

338P2 = 36516

P2 = 36516 / 338

P2 = 108.03 mmHg

 

Thus, the final pressure (108.03 mmHg ) inside the container at 339 K is more than the vapor pressure of liquid octane (100 mmHg) at 339 K.

Hence,

b. Some of the vapor initially present will condense.

e. Liquid octane will be present.

The distance from Earth to the Moon is approximately 240.000 mi Part C The speed of light is 3.00 x 10 m/s How long does it take for light to travel from Earth to the Moon and back again? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

2.6 sec

Explanation:

The distance between the Earth and the moon = 240,000 miles

Also,

1 mile = 1609.34 m

So,

Distance between the Earth and the moon = 240,000 ×  1609.34 m = 386241600 m

Speed of the light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Distance = Speed × Time.

So,

Time = Distance / Speed = 386241600 m / 3 × 10⁸ m/s = 1.3 sec

For back journey = 1.3 sec

So, total time = 2.6 sec
