Why is the boiling point of 2 nitrophenol different from that of 4 nitrophenol

See explanation

Explanation:

The nature of hydrogen bonding in 2- nitrophenol and 4- nitrophenol is quite different.

In 2- nitrophenol, there is intramolecular hydrogen bonding.  As a result of this, the compound has a low boiling point.

Then in 4- nitrophenol, there is intermolecular hydrogen bonding. This accounts for molecular association and higher boiling point in 4- nitrophenol.

explanation:

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
