Is ethanol more polar than ethylene glycol?
Ethylene glycol is more polar than ethanol - a rough measure of polarity is given by the dielectric constant. For example, water is 80, ethylene glycol 37, and ethanol 24.3. Water is the most polar, followed by ethylene glycol and ethanol. Another way to think about it is that ethanol has one alcohol group, and ethylene glycol has two, so it is more polar.
What is the molecular formula of ethylene glycol if mass is 62amu?
The molecular formula of ethylene glycol is C2H6O2. Given that the molar mass of ethylene glycol is 62 amu, it confirms that the molecular formula is correct, as the sum of the atomic masses of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) in one molecule of ethylene glycol equals 62 amu.
How can you tell if glycol is ethylene or propylene?
One way to differentiate between ethylene glycol and propylene glycol is by conducting a simple solubility test. Ethylene glycol is completely soluble in water, while propylene glycol is only partially soluble. Additionally, you can use techniques like gas chromatography or mass spectrometry for a more accurate identification.
Will ethanol have a greater viscosity than ethylene glycol at the same temperature?
Ethanol is less viscous than ethylene glycol at the same temperature. This is because ethanol only has one -OH group, which is responsible for viscosity.
Which one of the following aqueous solutions would have the highest freezing point: a solution of sodium chloride, a solution of glucose, or a solution of ethylene glycol?
A solution of ethylene glycol would have the highest freezing point among the three options.
How much antifreeze can kill you?
Antifreeze contains ethylene glycol which has a sweet taste. Upon ingestion, ethylene glycol is oxidized to glycol acid which is, in turn, oxidized to oxalic acid, which is toxic. It and its toxic byproducts first affect the central nervous system, then the heart, and finally the kidneys. Ingestion of sufficient amounts can be fatal. Only a total moron would drink even one teaspoon of antifreeze.
What one what alcohols could be the alcohol portion of a wax ethylene glycol glycerol 1-triacontanol or none?
Ethylene glycol and glycerol are commonly used as alcohols in waxes. Triacontanol is not typically used in waxes but is used as a plant growth stimulant.
Is ethylene petroleum?
No. It is produced from either ethylene oxide (an epoxide) or ethylene glycol (an alchohol). Petroleum is composed of tens, often hundreds, of hydrocarbons and is not used to make polyethylene glycol.
Who invented the antifreeze?
There are more than one kind of antifreeze used at different times and for different purposes, which do you want?Alcohol based antifreeze (obsolete)Ethylene Glycol antifreezePropylene Glycol antifreeze (used in potable water systems)etc.
Anhydride with ethylene glycol versus phthalic anhydride with glycerol?
You get a polymer! When you have ethylene glycol react with phtalic anhydride in a basic sollution such as NaOH(aq) you'll get a linear polymer. When you have glycerol react with phtalic anhydride in the same way you'll get a crosslinked polymer. The important difference between glycerol and ethylene glycol is the amount of OH groups, and as we all know, the OH groups usually the group that reacts - particularly in the creation of polymers. So in this case your crosslinked polymer will be the glycerol as it has 3 OH groups. One in each end, allowing the molycule to connect with other molecules and create polymers, and one in the middle (connected to the 2nd Carbon Atom) allowing it to react with other polymers. I hope that sort of answers your question
Is the white smoke from burned automotive coolant toxic?
Yes, very toxic. Antifreeze products usually contain one of three active ingredients: Ethylene glycol Propylene glycol Methanol All three ingredients are toxic to humans in liquid or vapor form.
How many atom in one molecule of antifreeze?
One molecule of antifreeze typically contains multiple atoms. The chemical formula for ethylene glycol, a common compound in antifreeze, is C2H6O2, which consists of two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms.
