Answer:

The correct answer is 16.61 grams methanol and 57.38 grams water.

Explanation:

The mole fraction (X) of methanol can be determined by using the formula,

X₁ = mole number of methanol (n₁) / Total mole number (n₁ + n₂)

X₁ = n₁/n₁ + n₂ = 0.14

n₁ / n₁ + n₂ = 0.14 ---------(i)

n₁ mole CH₃OH = n₁ mol × 32.042 gram/mol (The molecular mass of CH₃OH is 32.042 grams per mole)

n₁ mole CH₃OH = 32.042 n₁ g

n₂ mole H2O = n₂ mole × 18.015 g/mol

n₂ mole H2O = 18.015 n₂ g

Thus, total mole number is,

32.042 n₁ + 18.015 n₂ = 74 ------------(ii)

From equation (i)

n₁/n₁ + n₂ = 0.14

n₁ = 0.14 n₁ + 0.14 n₂

n₁ - 0.14 n₁ = 0.14 n₂

n₁ = 0.14 n₂ / 1-0.14

n₁ = 0.14 n₂/0.86 ----------(iii)

From eq (ii) and (iii) we get,

32.042 × 0.14/0.86 n₂ + 18.015 n₂ = 74

n₂ (32.042 × 0.14/0.86 + 18.015) = 74

n₂ = 74 / (32.042 × 0.14/0.86 + 18.0.15)

n₂ = 3.1854 mol

From equation (iii),

n₁ = 0.14/0.86 n₂

n₁ = 0.14/0.86 × 3.1854

n₁ = 0.5185 mol

Now, presence of water in the mixture is,

= 3.1854 mole × 18.015 gram per mole

= 57.38 grams

Methanol present in the mixture is,

= 0.5185 mol × 32.042 gram per mole

= 16.61 grams

Answer:

French physicist Jacques Charles (1746-1823) studied the effect of temperature on the volume of a gas at constant pressure. Charles's Law states that the volume of a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas when pressure is kept constant. The absolute temperature is temperature measured with the Kelvin scale. The Kelvin scale must be used because zero on the Kelvin scale corresponds to a complete stop of molecular motion.

Figure 11.5.1: As a container of confined gas is heated, its molecules increase in kinetic energy and push the movable piston outward, resulting in an increase in volume.

Mathematically, the direct relationship of Charles's Law can be represented by the following equation:

As with Boyle's Law, k is constant only for a given gas sample. The table below shows temperature and volume data for a set amount of gas at a constant pressure. The third column is the constant for this particular data set and is always equal to the volume divided by the Kelvin temperature.

Answer:

1461.7 g of AgI

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CaI₂ + 2AgNO₃ —> 2AgI + Ca(NO₃)₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaI₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of AgI.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole AgI produced by the reaction of 3.11 moles of CaI₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaI₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of AgI.

Therefore, 3.11 moles of CaI₂ will react to produce = 3.11 × 2 = 6.22 moles of AgI

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 6.22 moles of AgI. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of AgI = 6.22 moles

Molar mass of AgI = 108 + 127

= 235 g/mol

Mass of AgI =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of AgI = 6.22 × 235

Mass of AgI = 1461.7 g

Therefore, 1461.7 g of AgI were obtained from the reaction.

Which two substances are covalent compounds? * C6H12O6(s) and KI(s) C6H12O6(s) and HCl(g) KI(s) and NaCl(s) NaCl(s) and HCl(g)

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A covalent compound is defined as the compound in which sharing of electrons take place between the combining atoms. Generally, when two or more non-metals chemically combine together the it will lead to the formation of a covalent compound.

For example, $C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$ and HCl is also a covalent compound.

And, a compound in which transfer of electrons occur between the combining atoms is known as an ionic compound. Whenever, a metal chemically combines with a non-metal then it will always lead to the formation of an ionic compound.

For example, KI is an ionic compound.

Thus, we can conclude that $C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$ and HCl are the two substances which are covalent compounds.

Methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) has fewer chlorine atoms than chloroform (CHCl3). Nevertheless, methylene chloride has a larger mole

icang [17]

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

Chloroform has three polar C-Cl bonds. Methylene chloride has two polar C-Cl bonds. So it is expected that chloroform should be more polar and posses higher dipole moment than methylene chloride.
Two factors are liable for the opposite trend observed in dipole moments of methylene chloride and chloroform.
First one is the number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms present in a molecule. Hyperconjugation occurs with vacant d-orbital of Cl atom. Hyperconjugation amplifies charge separation in a molecule resulting higher dipole moment.
Methylene chloride has two hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms and chloroform has one hyperconjugative hydrogen atom.Therefore methylene chloride should have higher charge separation as compared to chloroform.
Second one is induction of opposite polarity in a C-Cl bond by another C-Cl bond in a molecule. Higher the opposite induction of polarity, lower the charge separation in a molecule and hence lower the dipole moment of a molecule.
Chloroform has three C-Cl bonds and methylene chloride has two C-Cl bonds. Therefore opposite induction is higher for chloroform resulting it's lower dipole moment.
