A 100 kg tree gets struck by lightning and is burned completely to ash. A scientist gathers up all the ash and weighs it to find

only 90kg there. Where did the other 10kg go?

Answer:

Evaporated via combustion.

Explanation:

The loss on ignition (LOI) and Ash content are inorganic analytical techniques used to determine the percentage by mass of hydrocarbon in compounds. This process allows volatile matter and possibly impurities found in a material to evaporate, leaving behind the true chemical constituents of the material.

The 10kg lost could be moisture content of the tree, or other volatile matter which has escaped on combustion of the tree.

The second-order rate constant for the following gas-phase reaction is 0.041 1/MLaTeX: \cdotâs. We start with 0.438 mol C2F4 in
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

134.8 seconds is the half-life (in seconds) of the reaction for the initial C_2F_4 concentration

Explanation:

Half life for second order kinetics is given by:

t_{\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{k\times a_0}

Integrated rate law for second order kinetics is given by:

\frac{1}{a}=kt+\frac{1}{a_0}

t_{\frac{1}{2} = half life

k = rate constant

a_0 = initial concentration

a = Final concentration of reactant after time t

We have :

C_2F_4 \longrightarrow \frac{1}{2} C_4F_8

Initial concentration of C_2F_4=[a_o]=\frac{0.438 mol}{2.42 L}=0.1810 mol/L

Rate constant = k = 0.041 M^{-1} s^{-1}

t_{\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{k\times a_0}

=\frac{1}{0.041 M^{-1} s^{-1}\times 0.1810 mol/L}

t_{1/2}=134.8 s

134.8 seconds is the half-life (in seconds) of the reaction for the initial C_2F_4 concentration

Assuming 100% dissociation, calculate the freezing point and boiling point of 1.22 m SnCl₄(aq). Constants may be found here.
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

T° freezing solution → -11.3°C

T° boiling solution → 103.1 °C

Explanation:

Assuming 100 % dissociation, we must find the i, Van't Hoff factor which means "the ions that are dissolved in solution"

This salt dissociates as this:

SnCl₄ (aq)  →   1Sn⁴⁺ (aq)  +   4Cl⁻  (aq)   (so i =5)

The formula for the colligative property of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation are:

ΔT = Kf . m . i

where ΔT = T° freezing pure solvent - T° freezing solution

ΔT = Kb . m . i

where ΔT = T° boiling solution - T° boiling pure solvent

Freezing point depression:

0° - T° freezing solution = 1.86°C/m . 1.22 m . 5

T° freezing solution = - (1.86°C/m . 1.22 m . 5) → -11.3°C

Boiling point elevation:

T° boiling solution - 100°C = 0.512 °C/m . 1.22 m . 5

T° boiling solution = (0.512 °C/m . 1.22 m . 5) + 100°C → 103.1 °C
