Interpretation:
The reason for the ammonia to possess high specific heat has to be proposed.
Concept Introduction:
Hydrogen bonding: The attractive interactions between hydrogen atom bonded to an atom of high electronegativity (most commonly O or N) and a lone pair of electrons on another atom of electrons on another atom of high electronegativity (again, most commonly O or N).
Solubility: Interaction of polar compound with water occurs by hydrogen bonding formation between compounds and water.
Hydrogen-bond donors: The hydrogen atom that is attached to the high electronegative atom participates in hydrogen bond. Thus, that Hydrogen atom is known as hydrogen-bond donors.
Hydrogen-bond acceptor: The atom (high electronegative atom with lone pairs) to which the hydrogen atom is participated in hydrogen bond.

Chemistry In Context
- One of the best-selling light, or low-calorie, beers is 4.2% alcohol by volume and a 12-oz serving contains 110 Calories; remember: 1 Calorie = 1000 cal = 1 kcal. To estimate the percentage of Calories that comes from the alcohol, consider the following questions. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol, C2H5OH, with oxygen to make carbon dioxide and water.arrow_forwardA 10.0-g sample of C2H5OH is burned completely in air. How many moles of H2O are formed?arrow_forward6. Heat of Formation. Give the balanced chemical equation used to find the heat of formation of the following a) CH3COOH (1) b) Na2SO4(s)arrow_forward
- Both LIAIH4 and NABH4 are reducing agents. Which of the following statement is NOT true? O Both LIAIH4 and NaBH4 can reduce ketones and aldehydes to alcohols. O The polarity of the B-H bond is greater than the polarity of the Al-H bond. LIAIH4 will react with water vigorously, while NaBH4 can use in water as a reducing agent. LIAIH4 is the stronger reducing agent than NaBH4 Both LIAIH4 and NABH4 work as nucleophiles.arrow_forwardWrite a balanced chemical reaction for the incomplete combustion of propane, C3H8C3H8 in oxygen gas to form carbon monoxide gas as one of the products.arrow_forwardNO, 3 NaOH 100°C NO2arrow_forward
- To a test tube containing 5.0 ml of 1.00 M NaOH at 27°C in a calorimeter, 5.0 ml of 2.00 M HNO3 at the same temperature was added, the heat generated by the reaction was monitored. Which of the following is TRUE? a.Reaction is exothermic; solution will turn pink upon addition of phenolphthalein. b.Heat is absorbed by the system; no color change will be observed upon addition of phenolphthalein. c.Heat is released by the system; no color change will be observed upon addition of phenolphthalein. d.Reaction is endothermic; solution will turn pink upon addition of phenolphthalein.arrow_forward2. Calculate the minimum amount of air required for the complete combustion of 150 kgs of fuel containing 70 % Carbon, 15 % hydrogen, 5 % sulfur and the rest nitrogen by weight.arrow_forwardWhat is H₂O, [H]arrow_forward
- A student adds 190.0 g of C7H6O3 to an excess of C4H6O3 producing C9H8O4 and C2H4O2. Write and balance the equation. Then, calculate the percent yield if 241 g of aspirin (C9H8O4) is produced. Show all work.arrow_forwardWhen the reaction for making biodiesel occurs, two layers are formed: biodiesel and glycerol. In which layer will most of each of the following substances be found? If a substance will be found to a large extent in both layers, you should indicate this. CH3OH OCH3– H2O Na+ OH–arrow_forwardCalculate the heat of burning ethane (C2H6) in oxygen to give CO₂ and water vapor. What is the minimum energy required to synthesize sulfur dioxide from sulfuric acid?arrow_forward
