Consider the following molecules and the description of the bonding present in each: CH3CH2CH2CH3CH3CH2CH2CH3 (C−CC−C and C−HC−H

bonds only) CH3CH2CH2OH CH3CH2CH2OH (C−CC−C and C−HC−H bonds, and one C−OHC−OH bond) CH3CH2CHO CH3CH2CHO (C−CC−C and C−HC−H bonds, and one C=OC=O bond) Based on the general trends of intermolecular forces, rank these molecules in order of increasing boiling point.

CH3CH2CH2CH3 < CH3CH2CHO < CH3CHOHCH3

Explanation:

Boiling point trend of Butane, Propan-1-ol and Propanal.

Butane is a member of the CnH2n+2 homologous series is an alkane. Alkanes have C-H and C-C bonds which have Van der waals dispersion forces which are temporary dipole-dipole forces (forces caused by the electron movement in a corner of the atom). This bond is weak but increases as the carbon chain/molecule increases.

In Propan-1-ol(Primaryalcohol), there is a hydrogen bond present in the -OH group. Hydrogen bond is caused by the attraction of hydrogen to a highly electronegative element like Cl-, O- etc. This bond is stronger than dispersion forces because of the relative energy required to break the hydrogen bond. Alcohols (CnH2n+1OH) also experience van der waals dispersion forces on its C-C chain and C-H so as the Carbon chain increases the boiling point increases in the homologous series.

Propanal which is an Aldehyde (Alkanal) with the general formula CnH2n+1CHO. This molecule has a C-O, C-C and C-H bonds only. If you notice, the Oxygen is not bonded to the Hydrogen so there is no hydrogen bond but the C-O bond has a permanent dipole-dipole force caused by the electronegativity of oxygen which is bonded to carbon. It also has van der waals dispersion forces caused by the C-C and C-H as the carbon chain increases down the homologous series. The permanent dipole-dipole forces are not as easy to break as van der waals forces.

In conclusion, the hydrogen bonds present in alcohols are stronger than the permanent dipole-dipole bonds in the aldehyde and the van der waals forces in alkanes (irrespective of the carbon chain in Butane). So Butane < Propanal < Propan-1-ol

Write the lewis structure for ch2clcoo−. assign a formal charge for any atom with a non-zero formal charge.
Murljashka [212]
The Lewis structure of Chloroacetate (H₂CClCO₂) is given below. In structure it is shown that carbon has a double bond with one oxygen atom and two single bonds with CH₂Cl and O⁻.

Formal Charge;
                        Formal charge is caculated as,

Formal charge  =  # of valence e⁻ - [# of lone pair of e⁻ + 1/2 # of bonded e⁻]

Formal charge on Oxygen (Highlighted Red);

Formal charge  =  6 - [ 6 + 2/2]

Formal charge  =  6 - [6 + 1]

Formal charge  =  6 - [7]

Formal charge  =  -1

Partitioning of toxic chemicals in the environment refers to:
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is b movement between different compartments(Such as between water and air).

Explanation:

The partitioning of a particular substance refers to the distribution of that substance into different compartments.

   By the same way partitioning of toxic compounds in the environment refers to movement of toxic substances between different compartments of environment which includes air,water etc.

Verdich [7]
<span>NaCl First calculate the molar mass of NaCl and AgNO3 by looking up the atomic weights of each element used in either compound Sodium = 22.989769 Chlorine = 35.453 Silver = 107.8682 Nitrogen = 14.0067 Oxygen = 15.999 Now multiply the atomic weight of each element by the number of times that element is in each compound and sum the results For NaCl 22.989769 + 35.453 = 58.44277 For AgNO3 107.8682 + 14.0067 + 3 * 15.999 = 169.8719 Now calculate how many moles of each substance by dividing the total mass by the molar mass For NaCl 4.00 g / 58.44277 g/mol = 0.068443 mol For AgNO3 10.00 g / 169.8719 g/mol = 0.058868 Looking at the balanced equation for the reaction, there is a 1 to 1 ratio in molecules for the reaction. Since there is a smaller number of moles of AgNO3 than there is of NaCl, that means that there will be some NaCl unreacted, so the excess reactant is NaCl</span>

Which of the following is a correctly written chemical equation that demonstrates the conservation of mass?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

H₂O + CO₂      →    H₂CO₃

Explanation:

First of all we will get to know what law of conservation of mass states.

According to this law, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Example:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

Now we will apply this law to given chemical equations:

A) H₂ + O₂   →    H₂O

There are two hydrogen and two oxygen atoms present on left side while on right side only one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms are present so mass in not conserved. This equation not follow the law of conservation of mass.

B) Mg + HCl   →   H₂ + MgCl₂

In this equation one Mg, one H and one Cl atoms are present on left side while on right side two hydrogen, one Mg and two chlorine atoms are present. This equation also not follow the law of conservation of mass.

C) KClO₃      →     KCl + O₂

There are one K, one Cl and three O atoms are present on left side of chemical equation while on right side one K one Cl and two oxygen atoms are present. This equation also not following the law of conservation of mass.

D)  H₂O + CO₂      →    H₂CO₃

There are two hydrogen, one carbon and three oxygen atoms are present on both side of equation thus, mass remain conserved. Thus is correct option.
