Chemistry

The thermometer must be <u>in contact with the ice/water only</u>

Explanation:

In this experiment in the lab, the aim is to measure the specific latent heat of fusion of water.

The specific latent heat of fusion of a substance is the amount of heat energy required to completely melt a certain amount of the substance, mathematically:

\lambda = \frac{Q}{m}

where

Q is the heat supplied to the substance

m is the mass of the substance

In this experiment, the aim is to measure the specific latent heat of fusion of water. In order to do that, a mix of ice/water is heated with a certain amount of heat Q, and then it is evaluated the amount of mass m that undergoes melting.

An important precaution that must be taken in this experiment is that the temperature of the water/ice mixture remains constant and equal to the melting point of ice (otherwise, part of the heat supplied to the mixture is used to increase the temperature of the water, resulting in an inaccurate measure of Q). Therefore, a thermometer must be used to check constantly the temperature, and this thermometer must be placed inside the ice/water mixture only (It should not touch the saucepan, whose temperature can be higher).

So, the correct answer is

in contact with the ice/water only

A 0.8115 g sample of HCl was placed into a 50 mL volumetric flask and the sample was thoroughly dissolved in water to make 50 mL
inysia [295]

Answer:

Molarity of NaOH solution is 1.009 M

Explanation:

Molar mass of HCl is 36.46 g/mol

Number moles = (mass)/(molar mass)

So, 0.8115 g of HCl = \frac{0.8115}{36.46}moles HCl = 0.02226 moles HCl

1 mol of NaOH neutralizes 1 mol of HCl.

So, if molarity of NaOH solution is S(M) then moles of NaOH required to reach endpoint is \frac{S\times 22.07}{1000}moles

So, \frac{S\times 22.07}{1000}=0.02226

or, S = 1.009

So, molarity of NaOH solution is 1.009 M

The molar mass of Cr(OH)2 is:
son4ous [18]

The molar mass of Cr(OH)_2 is 86.02 g/mole .

<h3><u> Explanation:</u> </h3>

The molar mass of a chemical compound is represented as the mass of a unit of that compound separated by the number of substances in that unit, measured in moles. The molar mass is a volume, not molecular, the property of a substance.

The molar mass is a percentage of various examples of the compound, which usually change in mass due to the appearance of isotopes.

From the below attached table, the Molar mass of Cr(OH)_2 is 86.0108 g/mol.
