A solution is prepared by dissolving 16.90 g of ordinary sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11, 342.3 g/mol) in 40.90 g of water. Calculate the boiling point of the solution. Sucrose is a nonvolatile nonelectrolyte.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The boiling point will increase due to dissolution of sugar in water . Increase in boiling point ΔT

ΔT = Kb x m , where Kb is molal elevation constant water , m is molality of solution

Kb for water = .51°C /m

moles of sugar = 16.90 / 342.3

= .04937 moles

m = moles of sugar /  kg of water

= .04937 / .04090

= 1.207

ΔT = Kb x m

= .51 x 1.207

= .62°C .

So , boiling point of water = 100.62°C .

Methylcyclohexene 10.9 0.82
Toluene 13.4 1.06

Calculate:
a. an average number of plates from the data.
b. the standard deviation for the average in (a).
c. an average plate height for the column.

Answers

Answer:

a)

For Methylcyclohexane  N₁ = 2770

For Methylcyclohexene N₂ = 2827

For Toluene N₃ = 2557

b) the standard deviation for the average in (a) is 143.31

c)

For Methylcyclohexane; H₁ = 0.01444 cm

For Methylcyclohexene; H₂ = 0.01415 cm

For Toluene; H₃ = 0.01564 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Gas-liquid chromatography on a 40-cm packed column:

Compound                   tR, min                           W, min

Air                                   1.9                                    —

Methylcyclohexane      10.0                               0.76

Methylcyclohexene      10.9                               0.82

Toluene                        13.4                                1.06

a)

an average number of plates from the data;

To get the Number of plates N, we use the following expression;

N = 16( tR / W )², we use it for Methylcyclohexane, Methylcyclohexene and Toluene

-

For Methylcyclohexane  N₁ = 16( 10 / 0.76 )² = 16( 173.13 ) = 2770.08 ≈ 2770

-

For Methylcyclohexene N₂ = 16( 10.9 / 0.82 )² = 16( 176.7 ) = 2827.2 ≈ 2827

-

For Toluene N₃ = 16( 13.4 / 1.06 )² = 16( 159.8078 ) = 2556.9 ≈ 2557

b) standard deviation for the average in (a).

First we get the mean;

Mean N" = ( N₁ + N₂ + N₃ ) / 3 = ( 2770 + 2827 + 2557 ) / 3 = 8154 / 3 = 2718

Next we determine the deviation

d₁² = (N₁ - N")² = (2770 - 2718)² = (52)² = 2704

d₂² = (N₂ - N")² = (2827 - 2718)² = (109)² = 11881

d₃² = (N₃ - N")² = (2557 - 2718)² = (-161)² = 25,921

∴ ∑d²[tex]_i[/tex] = 40506

Standard Deviation S = √( ∑d²[tex]_i[/tex]  / ( n-1 ) )

Standard Deviation S = √( 40506 / ( 3-1 )

Standard Deviation S = √( 40506 / 2 )

Standard Deviation S = √( 20253 )

Standard Deviation S = 143.31

Therefore, the standard deviation for the average in (a) is 143.31

c)

an average plate height for the column

Given that; Gas-liquid chromatography on a 40-cm packed column, L = 40 cm

-

For Methylcyclohexane; H₁ = L/N₁ = 40 / 2770 = 0.01444 cm

-

For Methylcyclohexene; H₂ = L/N₂ = 40 / 2827  = 0.01415 cm

-

For Toluene; H₃ = L/N₃ = 40 / 2557 = 0.01564 cm

Using stoichiometry, you predict that you should be able to use 314.0 g of Al to produce 1551 g of AlCi3. In your lab
exercise you actually produced 1400.0 g of aluminum chloride. What is your % yield for this reaction?
CORRECT ANSWER IS: 90.26% but what are the steps on how to get this answer ?

Answers

Answer:

90.26%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Theoretical yield of AlCl₃ = 1551 g

Actual yield of AlCl₃ = 1400 g

Percentage yield =?

The percentage yield of the reaction can be obtained as follow:

Percentage yield = Actual yield / Theoretical yield × 100

Percentage yield = 1400 / 1551 × 100

Percentage yield = 140000 / 1551

Percentage yield = 90.26%

Thus, the percentage yield of the reaction is 90.26%

Sample A: 300 mL of 1M sodium chloride
Sample B: 145 mL of 1.5 M sodium chloride

Which sample contains the larger concentration of sodium chloride?

Answers

Answer:

Sample A

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution can be calculated using the formula:

Molarity = number of moles (mol) ÷ volume (vol)

For Sample A:

V = 300ml = 300/1000 = 0.3 L

Molarity = 1M

n = number of moles (mol)

1 = n/0.3

n = 0.3moles

For Sample B:

V = 145 mL = 145/1000 = 0.145L

Molarity = 1.5 M

n = number of moles

1.5 = n/0.145

n = 1.5 × 0.145

n = 0.22 moles

Based on the above results (moles), sample A with 0.3 moles contains the larger concentration of sodium chloride.

Answers

Answer: The new volume at different given temperatures are as follows.

(a) 109.81 mL

(b) 768.65 mL

(c) 18052.38 mL

Explanation:

Given: [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 571 mL,       [tex]T_{1} = 26^{o}C[/tex]

(a) [tex]T_{2} = 5^{o}C[/tex]

The new volume is calculated as follows.

[tex]\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{571 mL}{26^{o}C} = \frac{V_{2}}{5^{o}C}\\V_{2} = 109.81 mL[/tex]

(b) [tex]T_{2} = 95^{o}F[/tex]

Convert degree Fahrenheit into degree Cesius as follows.

[tex](1^{o}F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = ^{o}C\\(95^{o}F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = 35^{o}C[/tex]

The new volume is calculated as follows.

[tex]\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{571 mL}{26^{o}C} = \frac{V_{2}}{35^{o}C}\\V_{2} = 768.65 mL[/tex]

(c) [tex]T_{2} = 1095 K = (1095 - 273)^{o}C = 822^{o}C[/tex]

The new volume is calculated as follows.

[tex]\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{571 mL}{26^{o}C} = \frac{V_{2}}{822^{o}C}\\V_{2} = 18052.38 mL[/tex]

Calculate the mass of sucrose needed to prepare a 2000 grams of 2.5% sucrose solution.

Answers

Answer:

mass of sucrose = 17.115 grams

Explanation:

Given that:

mass = 2000 grams

molar mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol

2.5% of the sucrose soltion.

Let assume we are given 1 M of the sucrose solution;

2.5% of 1 M = 0.025 M

Molarity = ( mass/molar  mass )(1000/V)

mass = (0.025 * 342.3 * 2000)/(1000)

mass of sucrose = 17.115 grams

What is the mass of 1.2 x 1023 atoms of arsenic?

Answers

Answer:

14.93 g

Explanation:

First we convert 1.2 x 10²³ atoms of arsenic (As) into moles, using Avogadro's number:

1.2 x 10²³ atoms ÷ 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol = 0.199 mol As

Then we can calculate the mass of 0.199 moles of arsenic, using its molar mass:

0.199 mol * 74.92 g/mol = 14.93 g

Thus, 1.2x10²³ atoms of arsenic weigh 14.93 grams.

The chemical equation below is unbalanced.
NaOH + H3PO4 -> Na3PO4 + H2O
When the equation is correctly balanced, what will be the coefficient of H2O?

Answers

Answer:

3 NaOH (aq) + H3PO4 (aq) → Na3PO4 (aq) + 3 H2O (l)

Explanation:

This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): NaOH is a base, H3PO4 is an acid.

When the equation is balanced, and the coefficient of H₂O is 3.

To balance the chemical equation:

NaOH + H₃PO₄ ⇒ Na₃PO₄ + H₂O

The number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

Balance the hydrogen atoms. There are three hydrogen atoms on the left side and two hydrogen atoms on the right side. To balance the hydrogen atoms, multiply H₂O by a coefficient of 3:

NaOH + H₃PO₄ ⇒ Na₃PO₄ + 3H₂O

If the oxygen (O) atoms are balanced. There are four oxygen atoms on the right side, but only two oxygen atoms on the left side. To balance the oxygen atoms, we need to multiply NaOH by a coefficient of 2.

The masses of carbon and hydrogen in samples of four pure hydrocarbons are given above. The hydrocarbon in which sample has the same empirical formula as propene, C3H6

Sample Mass of carbon Mass of hydrogen
A 60g 12g
B 72g 12g
C 84g 10g
D 90g 10g

a. Sample A
b. Sample B
c. Sample C
d. Sample D

Answers

Answer:

Sample B

Explanation:

In this case, we need to determine the empirical formula for each sample. The one that match the formula of the propene would be the sample.

Let's do Sample A:

C: 60 g;       H: 12 g

1. Calculate moles:

We need the atomic weights of carbon (12 g/mol) and hydrogen (1 g/mol):

C: 60 / 12 = 5

H: 12 / 1 = 12

2. Determine number of atoms in the formula

In this case, we just divide the lowest moles obtained in the previous part, by all the moles:

C: 5 / 5 = 1

H: 12 / 5 = 2.4    or rounded to two

3. Write the empirical formula:

Now, the prior results, represent the number of atoms in the empirical formula for each element, so, we put them with the symbol and the atoms as subscripted:

C₁H₂ = CH₂

Therefore, sample A is not the same as propene.

Sample B:

C: 72 g    H: 12 g

Following the same steps, let's determine the empirical formula for this sample

C: 72 / 12 = 6 ---> 6 / 6 = 1

H: 12 / 1 = 12 ----> 12 / 6 = 2

EF: CH₂

Sample C:

C: 84 g    H: 10 g

C: 84 / 12 = 7 ----> 7 / 7 = 1

H: 10 / 1 = 10    ----> 10 / 7 = 1.4 or just 1

EF: CH

Sample D

C: 90 g      H: 10 g

C: 90 / 12 = 7.5     -----> 7.5 / 7.5 = 1

H: 10 / 1 = 10  -------> 10 / 7.5 = 1.33 or just 1

EF: CH

Neither compound has the same empirical formula as C3H6, but C3H6 is a molecular formula, so, if we just simplify the formula we have:

C3H6  -----> CH₂

Therefore, sample B is the one that match completely. Sample B would be the one.

what's the difference between ionic bond and molecular or covalent bond?
pls be serious and help me understand​

Answers

Answer:

It's all about understanding the concept, see my explanation.

Explanation:

A ionic bond is formed between a metal element and a non metal element always. On the other hand, a molecular bond or covalent bond is formed between 2 elements which are both non metals. A ionic bond is made when there is a electron transfer occurring meaning that one element is giving it's electron to another to ethier become a postive or negative ion. Whereas a molecular bond is made when two non metals elements share there electrons.

• An example of a ionic bond would be MgCl2 as we know magnesium is a metal and chlorine is a non metal.

• An example of a molecular bond would be NF

which we know are both non metals.

(D is the correct answer!)

Answers

Answer: When exhaust from car engines spreads throughout our atmosphere and adds to pollution then it is an example of increase in entropy.

Explanation:

A degree of randomness in the molecules of a substance is called entropy.

When exhaust from car engines spreads throughout our atmosphere then it means the molecules are moving at a faster speed due to which they spread into the atmosphere rapidly.

This means that the entropy of exhaust is increasing.

Thus, we can conclude that when exhaust from car engines spreads throughout our atmosphere and adds to pollution then it is an example of increase in entropy.
