Calculate mole fraction of ethylene
Glycol in solution
containing 20% g C2H6O2 by mass.​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

20% of C2H6O2 

since its a solution, this means that it has 20g of ethylene glycol and the rest is water.

Molar mass of C2H6O2 = (12 x 2) + (1 x 6) + (2 x 16)

                                        = 62

mole = mass/molar mass

Moles of C2H6O2 = 20/62

                               = 0.322 mol

Moles of water = 80/18

                         = 4.444 mol

mole fraction = mol of solute / tatal mol of solution

Mole fraction of ethylene glycol = 0.322/(0.322 + 4.444)

                                                      = 0.068

Mole fraction of water = 1 - 0.068

                                     = 0.932

Define the term “Tyndall effect”. Which of the following would show Tyndall effect:- (Starch solution, sodium chloride solution, alcohol and water mixture)

Answers

Answer:

Tyndall Effect is the phenomenon of scattering of light by particles in a colloid or in a very fine suspension.

Starch solution would show Tyndall effect.

N/B: Heterogeneous mixtures show Tyndall effect.

Answer:The Tyndall effect is light scattering by particles in a colloid or in a very fine suspension. Also known as Willis–Tyndall scattering, it is similar to Rayleigh scattering, in that the intensity of the scattered light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength, so blue light is scattered much more strongly than red light. An example in everyday life is the blue colour sometimes seen in the smoke emitted by motorcycles, in particular two-stroke machines where the burnt engine oil provides these particles.

Under the Tyndall effect, the longer wavelengths are more transmitted while the shorter wavelengths are more diffusely reflected via scattering. The Tyndall effect is seen when light-scattering particulate matter is dispersed in an otherwise light-transmitting medium, when the diameter of an individual particle is the range of roughly between 40 and 900 nm, i.e. somewhat below or near the wavelengths of visible light (400–750 nm).

It is particularly applicable to colloidal mixtures and fine suspensions; for example, the Tyndall effect is used in nephelometers to determine the size and density of particles in aerosols and other colloidal matter (see ultramicroscope and turbidimeter).

It is named after the 19th-century physicist John Tyndall.

Explanation:

In an experiment, 125ml of H2 is collected over water at 27C and barometric pressure of 753 torr. the vapor pressure of water at 27C is 26.74 what is the partial pressure of H2?

Answers

Answer:

Partial pressure of H₂ = 0.9556 atm

Explanation:

Given:

Barometric pressure = 753 torr

Vapor pressure of water = 26.74 torr

FInd:

Partial pressure of H₂

Computation:

Partial pressure of H₂ = Barometric pressure - Vapor pressure of water

Partial pressure of H₂ = 733 - 26.74  

Partial pressure of H₂ = 726.26 torr

1 atm = 760 torr

So,

Partial pressure of H₂ = 726.26/760

Partial pressure of H₂ = 0.9556 atm

Molar mass of Al(OH)3 =

Answers

Answer:

78.01 g/mol

Explanation:

To find the molar mass of Al(OH)₃, we have to look at the mass of each individual element on the periodic table.

Al - 26.98

O - 3(16.00) = 48.00

H - 3(1.01) = 3.03

Now add it all together.

26.98 + 48.00 + 3.03 = 78.01 or 78 g/mol

If 50.0cm3of a saturated solution of KNO3at 40oC contained 5.05g of the salt. What is the solubility of the salt at 40oC? [KNO3=101].

Answers

Answer:

The solubility of KNO₃ at 40° C is 1 mol/dm³

Explanation:

The solubility of a substance is the number of moles of that substance (solute)  contained in a unit volume of solvent at that particular temperature.

Now, Solubility = n/V where n = number of moles of KNO₃ and V = volume of saturated solution = 50.0 cm³ = 0.05 dm³

n = m/M where m = mass of KNO₃ = 5.05 g and M = molar mass of KNO₃ = 101 g/mol

n = 5.05 g/101 g/mol = 0.05 mol

Solubility = n/V

= 0.05 mol/0.05 dm³

= 1 mol/dm³

So, the solubility of KNO₃ at 40° C is 1 mol/dm³

For reaction: 2 C + O2 --> 2 CO2 If 5.50 g C was reacted with enough O2, what would be the volume (in liter) of the CO2 generated at STP? (0 C and 1 atm)

Answers

Answer:

10.2 L of CO₂

Explanation:

Our reaction is:

2C + O₂  →  2CO₂

We convert the mass of C, to moles:

5.50 g / 12g/mol = 0.458 moles

Ratio is 2:2, so if 2 moles of C can produce 2 moles of CO₂ then 0.458 moles of C would produce 0.458 moles of gas.

By the Ideal Gases Law, we know that 1 mol of gas is contained in 22.4L, so:

0.458 mol . 22.4L / 1mol = 10.2 L

why the filament of bulb has high melting point​

Answers

Answer:

The filament of a bulb has a high melting point because of the heat generated inside the bulb.

Explanation:

When electricity is concentrating and run through a bulb, it starts to generate heat. Leave it on long enough and it will start to build up a lot of heat. Have you ever tried touching a light bulb when it has been all day? It's scorching to the skin.

Since electricity generates heat, the bulb's filament has to have a high melting point so it doesn't melt, destroy the bulb, and leave you light-less. If the filament has a high melting point, then it is able to withstand heat generated by electricity and provide you light.

Magnesium unites completely and vigorously with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, which contains 60% magnesium by weight. If 1.00 gram of magnesium is sealed in a glass tube with 1.00 gram of oxygen, what will be present in the tube after the reaction has taken place

Answers

Answer:

After the reaction, there will 0.60 g of magnesium oxide and 0.25 g of oxygen gas present in the tube

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction between magnesium and oxygen is given as follows:

2Mg(s) + O₂(g) ---> 2MgO(s)

From the equation of reaction, 2 moles of magnesium reacts with i mole of oxygen gas to produce 1 mole of magnesium oxide

molar mass of magnesium is 24.0 g; molar mass of oxygen gas = 32.0 g; molar mass of magnesium oxide = 40.0 g

Therefore 24 g of magnesium reacts with 32 g of oxygen gas

I.00 g of magnesium will react with (24.0 / 32.0) * 1.00 g of oxygen = 0.75 g of oxygen gas.

Therefore, magnesium is the limiting reagent. Once it is used up, the reaction will stop and the excess oxygen will be left in the tube together with the product, magnesium oxide.

mass of excess oxygen = 1.00 - 0.75 = 0.25 g

mass of magnesium oxide formed = (24.0 / 40.0 g) * 1 = 0.60 g

A platinum resistance thermometer has resistances of 160.0 when placed in a 0°C ice bath and 243.8 when immersed in a crucible containing a melting substance. What is the melting point of this substance? (Hint: First determine the resistance of the platinum resistance thermometer at room temperature, 20°C.)

Answers

Answer:

the melting point T = 125.36°C

Explanation:

Given that:

The resistance of a platinum thermometer at  0°C is  [tex]R_o[/tex] = 160.0 ohms

The resistance of a platinum thermometer when immersed in a crucible containing a melting substance [tex]R_t[/tex] = 243.8 ohms

The temperature coefficient at room temperature  20°C = ∝ = 0.00392

The objective is to determine the melting point of this substance

To do that ; at 20°C, the resistance of the platinum thermometer can be calculated as follows:

[tex]R_{20} = R_o(1 + \alpha \Delta T)[/tex]

[tex]R_{20} = 160(1 + (0.00392 \times (20-0)^0C))[/tex]

[tex]R_{20} = 160(1 + (0.00392 \times (20))[/tex]

[tex]R_{20} = 160(1 + (0.0784)[/tex]

[tex]R_{20} = 160(1.0784)[/tex]

[tex]R_{20} = 172.544 \ ohms[/tex]

The resistance of the platinum thermometer at t°C , [tex]R_t[/tex] = [tex]R_{20}(1 + \alpha \Delta T)[/tex]

[tex]243.8 = 172.544(1 + 0.00392 \times (T-20)^0C}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{243.8}{ 172.544 }= (1 + 0.00392 \times (T-20)^0C}[/tex]

[tex]1.413 = (1 + 0.00392 \times (T-20)^0C}[/tex]

[tex]1.413-1 = 0.00392 \times (T-20)^0C}[/tex]

[tex]0.413 = 0.00392 \times (T-20)^0C}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{0.413 }{0.00392} = (T-20)^0C}[/tex]

105.36°C = (T - 20) °C

T = 105.36°C + 20 °C

T = 125.36°C

2 IO3- + 12H+ + 10e- >> I2 + 6H2O ( reduction : I goes from +5 to 0 )

10 I- >> 5I2 + 10e-

2IO3- + 12H+ + 10e- >> I2 + 6H2O

-----------------------------------------------------

10 I- + 2IO3- + 12H+ >> 6I2 + 6H2O

a 2.000-g sample of a hydrated copper sulfate is heated and the waters of hydration are removed if that mass of the remaining salt is 1.278 g what was the percentage of water in the original hydrate

Answers

Answer:

36.1%

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of hydrated copper sulfate = 2 g

Mass of anhydrous copper sulfate = 1.278 g

Percentage of water =..?

Next, we shall determine the mass of water in the hydrated copper sulfate.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of hydrated copper sulfate = 2 g

Mass of anhydrous copper sulfate = 1.278 g

Mass of water =...?

Mass of water = Mass of hydrated copper sulfate – Mass of anhydrous copper sulfate

Mass of water = 2 – 1.278

Mass of water = 0.722 g

Finally, we can obtain the percentage of water in the hydrated copper sulfate as follow:

Mass of water = 0.722 g

Mass of hydrated copper sulfate = 2 g

Percentage of water =..?

Percentage of water = mass of water /mass of hydrate x 100

Percentage of water = 0.722/2 x 100

Percentage of water = 36.1%

Therefore, the percentage of water in the hydrated copper sulfate is 36.1%

Answer:

(b)

Explanation:

The 3s^2, 3p^6  orbitals form  -3 charge.

This is the element phosphorous and an example of a -3 ion is in aluminium phosphide, AlP3.

The electronic configuration which represents the element forming a simple ion having with a charge of -3 is; 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p³. Option B is correct.

In this electronic configuration, the element has a total of 16 electrons. To form a simple ion with a charge of -3, the element needs to gain three electrons. This is achieved by adding three extra electrons to the existing configuration.

When the element gains three electrons, the electron configuration becomes:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶

This configuration represents the stable octet configuration, where the element has a complete outer shell with eight electrons. Since the charge is -3, it means the element has gained three extra electrons to achieve a stable configuration.

Therefore, the correct electronic configuration representing the element that forms a simple ion with a charge of -3 is 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p³

Hence, B. is the correct option.
