How can we predict melting points?

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

Many of the properties of organic molecules can be predicted based on the strength of their cohesive molecule-molecule interactions (i.e. how much the molecules want to stick together).  The boiling point (BP) and melting point (MP) of an organic molecule is related to: 1) the molecular weight of the molecule and 2) the "stickiness" of individual molecules for their neighbors.  

   For example, molecules in a liquid are held together by attractive interactions between molecules.  These interactions must be broken (by adding heat) in order to transition into the gas.  The stronger the cohesive interactions, the more heat that is necessary for the liquid-to-gas phase transition.  These same attractive molecule-molecule interactions have to be broken for a solid to liquid phase change.

Examples: (Rank the following molecules in terms of MP and BP.)

 

Introduction to intermolecular forces:

All of the attractive intermolecular forces are based on the electrostatic attraction of positive charges on one molecule with negative changes.  The stronger the charges, the stronger the attraction between molecules.

How to:

In general, comparisons can only be made between molecules with similar formulas or molecular weights.*  First, identify the functional groups in the molecules being compared.  Each functional group can form different types of intermolecular interactions (see the chart above).  Interactions higher up on the chart form stronger cohesive interactions and will have higher boiling points and melting points.

* Note that larger molecules usually have higher boiling points and melting points.  This is not because of their higher molecular weights but because they usually have greater surface areas with which to form more intermolecular interactions.  This is also why linear molecules tend to have higher MPs and BPs than branched (or more spherically shaped) molecules.  Linear molecules will have more surface area than a more spherically shaped molecule.

All three molecules have approximately the same molecular formula and molecular weights.  Only molecule A contains a strongly polarized or ionic functional group: an aldehyde.  The C=O group in aldehydes generate a strong molecular dipole (partial + and - charges).  Thus, it can form weak attractive dipole-dipole interactions, and A will have the highest boiling point and highest melting point in this series of compounds.

Molecules B and C are alkanes.  They can only form the weakest attractive dispersion interactions between their molecular surfaces.  Due to its long-thin shape, B will have a greater surface area and can form more dispersion interactions than the rounder C.  Therefore, B will have a higher boiling point and melting point than C.

Molecule A is ionic (it has charges).  Therefore, it can form the strongest ion-ion interactions and will have the highest boiling point and melting point.

Molecule B is a carboxylic acid with an acidic proton and basic lone pairs.  Therefore, it can form medium strength hydrogen bonding interactions, and it will have the next highest boiling point and melting point.

Molecule C is a carboxylic ester, which is a polar functional group.  However, it does not have an acidic proton.  Therefore, esters cannot form hydrogen bonds with themselves.  Instead, they can only form weak dipole-dipole interactions and will have the lowest boiling point and melting point in this series of compounds.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

By thinking about non covalent intermolecular interactions, we can also predict relative melting points. All of the same principles apply: stronger intermolecular interactions result in a higher melting point.

Mrs. Moran and Mr. Moran decided to move the cabinet in their dining room. Mrs.
Moran stood on one side, and Mr. Moran stood on the other. They each pushed
with 30 N of force. What was the net force on the cabinet?

Answers

Answer:

60N

Explanation:

The net force on the cabinet is 60N.

 Net force is that single force that will act like all other forces on a body. The direction of the force and magnitude is very important when resolving forces.

  Force applied by Mrs. Moran  = 30N

  Force applied by Mr. Moran = 30N

                Since they each stood on both sides and pushed, the net force will be 30N + 30N  = 60N

Answer: 0

Explanation: If they both pushed a force of 30N then it doesn’t add up but instead you subtract. so it’s 0. ur yw ;)

Answers

Answer is b, trust. :)

The elements that have least protons to those having the most protons in the atoms are:

B. C, Al, P, Cl

Protons in an atom:

There is an equal number of protons and electrons in an atom. So when moving across a period in a periodic table the number of electrons increases which also shows the increases in a number of protons. So as the atomic number increases, the number of protons and electrons also increases.

Thus, the order of elements having least to greatest protons are:

C, Al, P, Cl

C has 6 atomic number, Aluminium has 13 atomic number , Phosphorus has 14 atomic number and atomic number of chlorine is 17.

Thus, option B is correct.

Ayala is making salad dressing. She mixes oil and
vinegar in a blender until a smooth consistency is
formed. Explain whether this is a heterogeneous or a
homogeneous mixture and why.

Answers

Answer:

A heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that is not uniform in composition. This means that we can tell that there is more than one component in the mixture. An example of a heterogeneous mixture would be milk and cereal.

The opposite is a homogeneous mixture, which is uniform in composition. An example of a homogeneous mixture is air. There are many different particles surrounding us, but we can't tell.

A salad dressing that consists of oil and vinegar is another example of a heterogeneous mixture. Its consistency is smooth, but oil and vinegar can't dissolve each other, which means that we will see droplets of oil and vinegar. Since we can tell that it contains these components, this is a heterogeneous mixture.

Answer:

Sample Response: A homogeneous mixture can only form when one of the substances can dissolve the other one. Oil and water cannot dissolve each other, so they must form a heterogeneous mixture with small particles of vinegar dispersed throughout the oil, yet not dissolved.

Pottasium permanganate (KMnO4) is an ionic compound that contains a combination of pottasium cations (K+) and permanganate anion (MnO4-). The pair of ions that make up the ionic compound cancel out each other to make it neutral.

K+ (aq) + MnO4- (aq) → KMnO4 (aq)

MnO4- contains 1 atom of manganese with a (+7) charge and four atoms of oxygen with a (-2) charge each. This forms a +7 for Mn and -8 for O4, hence, a net total of -1.

The chemical equation represents a reaction between ammonia and oxygen to form nitrogen monoxide and water. 4 N H 3 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) → 4 NO ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( g ) What is the limiting reagent when a 4.50 g sample of ammonia is mixed with 15.80 g of oxygen?

Answers

The limiting reagent : NH₃

Further explanation

A method that can be used to find limiting reactants is to divide the number of moles of known substances by their respective coefficients, and small or exhausted reactants become a limiting reactant

Reaction

4NH₃(g)+5O₂(g)⇒4NO(g)+6H₂O(g)

mol NH₃ :

[tex]\tt \dfrac{4.5}{17}=0.265[/tex]

mol O₂ :

[tex]\tt \dfrac{15.8}{32}=0.494[/tex]

mol ratio

NH₃ :

[tex]\tt \dfrac{0.265}{4}=0.06625[/tex]

O₂ :

[tex]\tt \dfrac{0.494}{5}=0.0988[/tex]

Limiting reactants : NH₃ (smaller ratio)

The limiting reagent when a 4.50 g sample of ammonia is mixed with 15.80 g of oxygen is NH₃

Calculation of limiting reagent:

The limiting reactant refers to the reactant that gets consumed first in a chemical reaction and thus it limits how much product can be created or developed. A method that can be used to determine limiting reactants that to divide the number of moles by their respective coefficients.

So,

For mol NH₃ :

[tex]= 4.5\div 17[/tex]

= 0.494

For mol O₂ :

[tex]= 15.8 \div 32[/tex]

= 0.494

For mol ratio

NH₃ :

[tex]= 0.265 \div 4[/tex]

= 0.06625

O₂ :

[tex]= 0.494 \div 5[/tex]

= 0.0988

Based on the above calculations we can say that it is NH₃

The smallest unit that combines chemically or physically to form molecules and compounds is called an atom. They are composed of electrons and protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

The correct answer is:

Option d. To achieve a more stable electron configuration for both atoms.

This can be explained as:

Atoms do not always bond to complete eight electrons in their shells.

Atoms do not react to follow the octet rule.

Electrons don't need to be filled in the shells of atoms of both the shells as some atoms lose electrons too.

Therefore to achieve stable configuration atoms bond with other atoms.

Unknown:

The force applied when the acceleration is 0.4m/s²

Solution:

From newton's second law of motion;

 Force = mass x acceleration

 Since we are using the same box, let us find the mass of the box;

      Force  = mass x acceleration

         10 = mass x 0.2
