Molecules containing a large number of hydroxyl groups are

1 answer:

6 0

Molecules containing a large number of hydroxyl groups are soluble in water. Molecules which contains the functional group hydroxyl or -OH are called alcohols. Water and alcohols share some similar properties. One would be its polar properties. Alcohols are polar molecules as they contain a partial positive and partial negative end. Making them to be miscible in water. The hydroxyl groups in alcohol are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with the water molecules and with other alcohols. As the number of the hydroxyl groups increases, the polarity of the molecule would also increase making it more soluble in water.

A gas is contained in a thick-walled balloon. When the pressure changes from 319 mm Hg to 215 mm Hg, th volume changes from 0.55

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

In this question we need to find the new volume of the gas. Since we have been given the pressure and temperature change, we can used to combined gas law equation.
$\frac{P1V1}{T1} = \frac{P2V2}{T2}$
the parameters for 1st instance are given on the left side and parameters for the second instance are given on the right side of the equation
(319 mmHg x 0.558 L)/ 115 K = (215 mmHg x V)/387 K
V = 2.79 L

A 2135 cm3 sample of dry air has a pressure of 98.4 kpa at 127 degrees Celsius. What is the volume of the sample if the Temperat

kykrilka [37]

the equation is p1 x v1 divided by T1 = p1 x v2 = T2 but since the pressure is kept constant you do not even need it so the equation would now be v1 divided by t1 = v2 divided by t2

2135 cm3 divided by 127 degrees celcius = x divided by 206

answer: 3460 cm3

Write the formulas for the following ionic compounds: (a) copper bromide (containing the Cu+ ion), (b) manganese oxide (containi

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:The formulas of ionic compounds are:

a) $CuBr$

b) $Mn_2O_3$

c) $Hg_2I_2$

d) $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$

Explanation:

Formulas for the an ionic compounds is determine by:

Criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

(a) Copper bromide :Given that it contains $Cu^+$ ion.

$Cu^++Br^-\rightarrow CuBr$

(b) Manganese oxide : Given that it contains $Mn^{3+}$ ion.

$Mn^{3+}+O^{2-}\rightarrow Mn_2O_3$

(c)Mercury iodide :Given that it contains $Hg_2^{2+}$

$Hg_2^{2+}+I^-\rightarrow Hg_2I_2$

(d) Magnesium phosphate :Given that it contains $PO_4^{3-}$

$Mg^{2+}+PO_4^{3-}\rightarrow Mg_3(PO_4)_2$

A 25.0-ml sample of hno3 solution requires 35.7 ml of 0.108 m na2co3 to completely react with all of the hno3 in the solution. w

Rasek [7]

If we write the equation of the reaction that will take place, it is:
2HNO₃ + Na₂CO₃ → 2NaNO₃ + H₂CO3

The molar ratio of 2HNO₃ : Na₂CO₃ = 1 : 2
Therefore, we can set up the equation:
M₁V₁ = 2M₂V₂
Where the left side of the equation has the molarity and volume of HNO₃ and the right side has the molarity and concentration of Na₂CO₃. Substituting:
M₁ = (2 x 0.108 x 35.7) / 25
M₁ = 0.308 M

Under which conditions will sugar most likely dissolve fastest in a cup of water? A. a sugar cube with stirring at 5oC B. a suga

OverLord2011 [107]

I believe the answer is sugar crystals with stirring at 15 degrees Celsius.
Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific temperature. There are two major factors that affect solubility are temperature and pressure. Temperature affects solubility of both solids and gases, but pressure only affects the solubility of gases. Increasing the surface area of solutes also increases the solubility.
