explain, in therms of intermolecular forces, why greasy engine parts are better cleaned using petrol or kerosene as the solvent

than water.

Answer:

Grease is insoluble in water but soluble in kerosene

Explanation:

The molecules in grease are non polar molecules and so can not react with water which is polar to generate enough solvation energy. On the other hand kerosine is non polar so reacts with grease to generate enough solvation energy to dissolve it.

At 35 C, a sample of gas has a volume of 256 ml and a pressure of 720.torr. What would the volume
Natalija [7]

Answer: Volume would be 196.15 mL if the temperature were changed to 22^{o}C and the pressure to 1.25 atmospheres.

Explanation:

Given: T_{1} = 35^{o}C = (35 + 273) K = 308 K,     V_{1} = 256 mL,    

P_{1} = 720 torr (1 torr = 0.00131579 atm) = 0.947368 atm

T_{1} = 22^{o}C = (22 + 273) K = 295 K,       P_{2} = 1.25 atm  

Formula used to calculate volume is as follows.

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{1 atm \times 256 mL}{308 K} = \frac{1.25 atm \times V_{2}}{295 K}\\V_{2} = 196.15 mL

Thus, we can conclude that the volume would be 196.15 mL if the temperature were changed to 22^{o}C and the pressure to 1.25 atmospheres.

How many grams of aluminum are required to react with 35 mL of 2.0 M hydrochloric acid, HCl?__ HCl + __ Al --> __ AlCl3 + __
kiruha [24]

Answer:

0.6258 g

Explanation:

To determine the number grams of aluminum in the above reaction;

  • determine the number of moles of HCl
  • determine the mole ratio,
  • use the mole ratio to calculate the number of moles of aluminum.
  • use RFM of Aluminum to determine the grams required.

<u>Moles </u><u>of </u><u>HCl</u>

35 mL of 2.0 M HCl

2 moles of HCl is contained in 1000 mL

x moles of HCl is contained in 35 mL

x \: mol \:  =  \:  \frac{2 \:  \times  \: 35}{1000}  \\  = 0.07 \: moles \:

We have 0.07 moles of HCl.

<u>Mole </u><u>ratio</u>

  • Balanced equation

6HCl(aq) + 2Al(s) --> 2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2(g)

Hence mole ratio = 6 : 2 (HCl : Al

  • but moles of HCl is 0.07, therefore the moles of Al;

=  \frac{2}{6}  \times 0.07 \\  \:  = 0.0233333 \: moles

Therefore we have 0.0233333 moles of aluminum.

<u>Grams of </u><u>Aluminum</u>

We use the formula;

grams \:  = moles \:  \times  \: rfm

The RFM (Relative formula mass) of aluminum is 26.982g/mol.

Substitute values into the formula;

= 0.0233333 \: moles  \:  \times  \: 26.982 \:  \frac{g}{mol}  \\  = 0.625799 \: grams

The number of grams of aluminum required to react with HCl is 0.6258 g.
