Could volume by displacement be used to determine the volume of a lump of rock salt? Explain would be nice

Readme [11.4K]

Yes it could, but you'd have to set up the process very carefully.
I see two major challenges right away:

1). Displacement of water would not be a wise method, since rock salt
is soluble (dissolves) in water. So as soon as you start lowering it into
your graduated cylinder full of water, its volume would immediately start
to decrease. If you lowered it slowly enough, you might even measure
a volume close to zero, and when you pulled the string back out of the
water, there might be nothing left on the end of it.

So you would have to choose some other fluid besides water ... one in
which rock salt doesn't dissolve. I don't know right now what that could
be. You'd have to shop around and find one.

2). Whatever fluid you did choose, it would also have to be less dense
than rock salt. If it's more dense, then the rock salt just floats in it, and
never goes all the way under. If that happens, then you have a tough
time measuring the total volume of the lump.

So the displacement method could perhaps be used, in principle, but
it would not be easy.

determine the freezing point depression of a solution that contains 30.7 g glycerin (c3h8o3, molar mass

Blababa [14]

The freezing point depression of a solution containing 30.7 g of glycerin is calculated as -1.65°C

Equating :

It is given that,

Given mass of glycerin is = 30.7 grams (Solute)

Volume of water = 376 mL

$K_{f}$ or molar -freezing-depression point is = 1.86°C/m

Molar mass of glycerin = 92.09 g/mole

Now, to work out the value, the mass of water should be known. Thus, to calculate, the formula used will be:

Mass = Density X Volume

Mass = 1.0 g/mL X 376 mL

Mass = 376 g or 0.376 Kg

Using the formula of melting point depression, the equation becomes:

Δ $T_{f}$ = i × $K_{f}$ ×m

T⁰- $T_{s}$ = $i *K_{f} *\frac{mass of glycerin}{molar mass of glycerin * mass of water in kg}$

in which,

Δ $T_{f}$ = change in freezing point

Δ $T_{s}$ = freezing point of solution that has to be find

ΔT° = freezing point of water ()

Since, glycerin is a non-electrolyte, the Van't Hoff factor will be 1.

Substituting the values in the above equation:

0⁰C₋T $_{s}$ = 1 ×1.86°C/m × $\frac{30.7}{92.09g/mol * 0.376kg}$

$T_{s}$ = -1.65°C

Thus, the freezing point depression of a solution is -1.65°C

Freezing point depression

Freezing point depression is a colligative property observed in solutions that results from the introduction of solute molecules to a solvent. The freezing points of solutions are all less than that of the pure solvent and is directly proportional to the molality of the solute

Is melting point elevation or depression?

Boiling point elevation is that the raising of a solvent's boiling point due to the addition of a solute. Similarly, melting point depression is the lowering of a solvent's freezing point due to the addition of a solute. In fact, because the boiling point of a solvent increases, its melting point decreases

Oxygen.

Explanation:

Hello,

Yeast fermentation in the food industry must be carried out under anaerobic conditions as long as when oxygen is present respiration occurs rather than fermentation.
