Chapter 14, Problem 14.58P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for more solubility of 1,6-hexanediol than 1-hexanol needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Alcohols are soluble in water due to the presence of hydroxyl group in them. The hydroxyl groups result in the formation of hydrogen bonding which makes alcohol soluble in water.

As the number of carbon atoms increases in alcohol, its solubility decreases. If the number of carbon atoms is less, the hydroxyl group is more available to form hydrogen bonding with water molecules.

The data for the potential difference of a battery and its temperature are given in the table. Calculate the entropy change in J mol-1 K-1 (indicate the formulas used).Data: F = 96485 C mol-1
In a cell, the change in entropy (AS) can be calculated from the slope of the E° vs 1/T graph. The slope is equal to -AS/R, where R is the gas constant. Is this correct?
Using the Arrhenius equation, it is possible to establish the relationship between the rate constant (k) of a chemical reaction and the temperature (T), in Kelvin (K), the universal gas constant (R), the pre-exponential factor (A) and the activation energy (Ea). This equation is widely applied in studies of chemical kinetics, and is also widely used to determine the activation energy of reactions. In this context, the following graph shows the variation of the rate constant with the inverse of the absolute temperature, for a given chemical reaction that obeys the Arrhenius equation. Based on the analysis of this graph and the concepts acquired about the kinetics of chemical reactions, analyze the following statements:              I. The activation energy (Ea) varies with the temperature of the system.   II. The activation energy (Ea) varies with the concentration of the reactants.        III. The rate constant (K) varies proportionally with temperature.    IV. The value of the…
