Why is sucrose insoluble in dichloromethane?

1 answer:

5 0

Sucrose is insoluble in dichloromethane because dichloromethane is not a polar solvent.
Sucrose is soluble in water because the molecules of sucrose has the ability to react with the molecules of water and thereby forming hydrogen bond which enhance the dispersion of sucrose in the water.
Sugar can not react in a similar way with dichloromethane because they do not possess chemical species that can react together to form bonds. Thus, sugar is a polar substance which can not dissolve in a non-polar solvent.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction is 1.1 x 106 M. HONO(aq) + CN-(aq) ⇋ HCN(aq) + ONO-(aq) This value indicates that

kakasveta [241]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is given here :

The equilibrium constant for the reaction is $1.1\times 10^6$ M.

$HONO(aq)+CN^- (aq)\rightleftharpoons HCN(aq)+ONO^-(aq)$

This value indicates that

A. $CN^-$ is a stronger base than $ONO^-$

B. HCN is a stronger acid than HONO

C. The conjugate base of HONO is $ONO^-$

D. The conjugate acid of CN- is HCN

Answer: A. $CN^-$ is a stronger base than $ONO^-$

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is the ratio of product of the concentration of products to the product of concentration of reactants.

When $K_{p}>1$ ; the reaction is product favoured.

When $K_{p};$ ; the reaction is reactant favored.

$When K_{p}=1$ ; the reaction is in equilibrium.

As, $K_p>>1$ , the reaction will be product favoured and as it is a acid base reaction where $HONO$ acts as acid by donating $H^+$ ions and $CN^-$ acts as base by accepting $H^+$

Thus $HONO$ is a strong acid thus $ONO^-$ will be a weak conjugate base and $CN^-$ is a strong base which has weak $HCN$ conjugate acid.

Thus the high value of K indicates that $CN^-$ is a stronger base than $ONO^-$

Butane (c4h10) undergoes combustion in excess oxygen to generate gaseous carbon dioxide and water. given δh°f[c4h10(g)] = –124.7

vagabundo [1.1K]

The value of Δ H butane (g) = -124.7 kJ/mol

The value of Δ H CO2 (g) = -393.5 kJ/mol

The value of Δ H H2O (g) = -241.8 kJ/mol

Mass of butane, m = 8.30 gm

Molar mass of butane is 58 gm/mol

Consider the reaction,

C₄H₁₀ + 6.5 O₂ = 4CO₂ + 5H₂O

Calculating the value of Δ H° rxn:

ΔH°rxn = ∑nH° f (products) - ∑nH° f (reactants)

Substituting the values we get,

Δ H° rxn = 4 (-393.5) + 5 (-241.8) - (-124.7)

= -1574 -1209 + 124.7

= -2783 - 124.7

= -2658.3 kJ/mol

Now, calculate the number of moles of butane in 8.30 gm.

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

= 8.30 / 58

= 0.143 moles

Thus, the total energy released in the reaction is,

Q = number of moles × ΔH° rxn

= 0.143 × (2658.3)

= 380.14 kJ

Hence, the total heat released in the reaction is 380.14 kJ.

Suppose you are titrating vinegar, which is an acetic acid solution of unknown strength, with a sodium hydroxide solution accord

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

$M_{acid}=0.563M$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, given the neutralization of the acetic acid as a weak one with sodium hydroxide as a strong base, we can see how the moles of the both of them are the same at the equivalence point; thus, it is possible to write:

$M_{acid}V_{acid}=M_{base}V_{base}$

Thus, we solve for the molarity of the acid to obtain:

$M_{acid}=\frac{M_{base}V_{base}}{V_{acid}} \\\\ M_{acid}=\frac{33.98mL*0.1656M}{10.0mL}\\\\ M_{acid}=0.563M$

Regards!

What effect do tube dwelling worms have on mudflat ecosystems?

pentagon [3]

Earthworms influence (and benefit) the soil ecosystem in a number of ways: Recycling organic material: Earthworms, along with bacteria and fungi, decompose organic material. ... Improving soil structure: Earthworm burrows alter the physical structure of the soil. They open up small spaces, known as pores, within the soil.
