States of Matter

The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for a…

Chemical Reactions and Equations

When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained …

A dry-cleaning plant used carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) as a cleaning solvent until it was shut down because CCl4 was found to cause cancer and had been leaking into the groundwater. The plant owner offered to switch to liquified carbon dioxide instead and was allowed to reopen. Within 6 months cancer cases returned to normal. Explain whether the use of liquified carbon dioxide is a long term, safer environmental alternative to CCl4.

The molecular mass of butanol, C4H,OH, is 74.14; that of ethylene glycol, CH2(OH)CH,OH, is 62.08, yet their boiling points are 117.2 °C and 174 °C, respectively. Explain the reason for the difference. The two hydroxyl groups in ethylene glycol provide more locations for the formation of hydrogen bonds. The existence of more hydrogen bonds considerably decreases the boiling point O The two hydroxyl groups in ethylene glycol provide less locations for the formation of hydrogen bonds. The existence of less hydrogen bonds considerably increases the boiling point The two hydroxyl groups in ethylene glycol provide more locations for the formation of hydrogen bonds. The existence of more hydrogen bonds considerably increases the boiling point
