Answer: Non polar solvents

Explanation:

Since with increasing the size of alkyl group hydrophobic nature increases and solubility in polar solvents decreases .

Hence Carboxylic acids with more than 10 carbon atoms, solubility is more in non polar solvents.

Write a net ionic equation to show how piperidine, c5h11n, behaves as a base in water.

lidiya [134]

$C_5H_{11}N + H2O ---\ \textgreater \ C_5H_{11}NH^{+} + OH^{-}$

Nitrogen lone pair will act as a base,removing H+ from water leaving behind OH- ion.
Why ?
Because N is a better donor than O.

If 25 g of NH3, and 96 g of H2S react according to the following reaction, what is the

jeyben [28]

25 g of NH₃ will produce 47.8 g of (NH₄)₂S

<u>Explanation:</u>

2 NH₃ + H₂S ----> (NH₄)₂S

Molecular weight of NH₃ = 17 g/mol

Molecular weight of (NH₄)₂S = 68 g/mol

According to the balanced reaction:

2 X 17 g of NH₃ produces 68 g of (NH₄)₂S

1 g of NH₃ will produce $\frac{68}{34}$ g of (NH₄)₂S

25g of NH₃ will produce $\frac{65}{34} X 25 g$ of (NH₄)₂S

= 47.8 g of (NH₄)₂S

Therefore, 25 g of NH₃ will produce 47.8 g of (NH₄)₂S

How many grams of chromium metal are plated out when a constant current of 8.00 a is passed through an aqueous solution containi

Oliga [24]

We can solve this without a concrete formula through dimensional analysis. This works by manipulating the units such that you end up with the unit of the final answer. Manipulate them by cancelling units that appear both in the numerator and denominator side. As a result, we must be left with the units of g. The current in A or amperes is equivalent to amount of Coulombs per second. Since this involves Coulombs, we will use the Faraday's constant which is 96,500 C/mol electron. The reaction is:

Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ --> Cr(s)

This means that for every 3 moles of electron transferred, 1 mole of Chromium metal is plated. The molar mass of Cr: 52 g/mol. The solution is as follows:

Mass of Chromium metal = (8 C/s)(60 s/1 min)(160 min)(1 mol e⁻/96,500 C)(1 mol Cr/3 mol e)(52 g/mol)
<em>Mass of Chromium metal = 13.79 g</em>

If 15.6 g of hydrate are heated and only 11.7 g of anhydrous salt remain, calculate the % of water lost.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Percent loss of water = 25%

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrated salt = 15.6 g

Mass of anhydrous salt = 11.7 g

Percentage of water lost = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the mass of water in hydrated salt.

Mass of water = Mass of hydrated salt - Mass of anhydrous salt

Mass of water = 15.6 g - 11.7 g

Mass of water = 3.9 g

Now we will calculate the percentage.

Percent loss of water = mass of water / total mass × 100

Percent loss of water = 3.9 g/ 15.6 g × 100

Percent loss of water = 25%

Which graphic below shows the correct orientation of each water molecule when it is near the cl- ion in the aqueous solution?

andrew-mc [135]

The question is missing the graphics required to answer which I have attached as an image.

There are four different representations of the orientation of water molecules around chloride anion. Let's first analyze the water molecule.

We have H-O-H as the structure of water. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, which results in a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

The chloride anion is a negative charge. Therefore, the water molecules should orient themselves with the hydrogen atoms facing the chlorine atom as the partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms will be attracted to the negative charge of the chlorine atom.

The correct representation is shown in graph 3 which shows all hydrogen atoms facing the chlorine anion.
