(a)
Interpretation: Comprehend the orientation of methanol molecule towards a negatively charged wand.
Concept Introduction: The polarity of molecule depends on the presence of electropositive and electronegative atoms present in the molecule.
Due to electronegativity difference between bonded atoms, partial charges induce on the bonded atoms. The partial charges effect the physical properties of the polar molecules.
(a)

Answer to Problem 4E
Explanation of Solution
Methanol is a polar molecule as it contains one −OH group. Here O is more electronegative than H atom. Therefore the −OH group is polar with partial negative charge on O and partial positive charge on H atom.
The molecule of methanol will orient towards a negative charge wand in such a way that the electropositive H atom will orient toward wand and the O atom will orient away from wand as it carries partial negative charge as given below:
(b)
Interpretation: Comprehend the position of methanol molecules on waxed paper; either bead up or spread out.
Concept Introduction: The polarity of molecule depends on the presence of electropositive and electronegative atoms present in the molecule.
Due to electronegativity difference between bonded atoms, partial charges induce on the bonded atoms. The partial charges effect the physical properties of the polar molecules.
(b)

Answer to Problem 4E
Methanol molecules bead up over waxed paper.
Explanation of Solution
Methanol is a polar molecule as it contains one −OH group. Here O is more electronegative than H atom. Therefore the −OH group is polar with partial negative charge on O and partial positive charge on H atom. A polar molecule is always soluble in polar solvent. Wax is a non-polar compound as it is composed of long fatty acid chain.
Therefore methanol is not soluble in wax and methanol molecules will bead up over waxed paper.
(c)
Interpretation: Comprehend the solubility of methanol in water.
Concept Introduction: The polarity of molecule depends on the presence of electropositive and electronegative atoms present in the molecule.
Due to electronegativity difference between bonded atoms, partial charges induce on the bonded atoms. The partial charges effect the physical properties of the polar molecules.
(c)

Answer to Problem 4E
Methanol is soluble in water.
Explanation of Solution
Methanol is a polar molecule as it contains one −OH group. Here O is more electronegative than H atom. Therefore the −OH group is polar with partial negative charge on O and partial positive charge on H atom. A polar molecule is always soluble in polar solvent. Water is a polar molecule as it has partially negative O atom that is bonded with partially positive H atom.
Therefore methanol will be soluble in polar water as solvent.

- 20. The Brusselator. This hypothetical system was first proposed by a group work- ing in Brussels [see Prigogine and Lefever (1968)] in connection with spatially nonuniform chemical patterns. Because certain steps involve trimolecular reac tions, it is not a model of any real chemical system but rather a prototype that has been studied extensively. The reaction steps are A-X. B+X-Y+D. 2X+ Y-3X, X-E. 305 It is assumed that concentrations of A, B, D, and E are kept artificially con stant so that only X and Y vary with time. (a) Show that if all rate constants are chosen appropriately, the equations de scribing a Brusselator are: dt A-(B+ 1)x + x²y, dy =Bx-x²y. diarrow_forwardProblem 3.
