When 12 g of methanol (CH3OH) was treated with excess oxidizing agent (MnO4-), 14 g of formic acid (HCOOH) was obtained. Using the following chemical equation, calculate the percent yield.
3CH3OH + 4MnO4- 3HCOOH + 4MnO2

they are both synthetic elements

explanation:

d

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
