Two cups of the same size are filled to the brim with clear liquids. Cup A holds water. Cup B contains alcohol. Your teacher cha

llenges you to figure out which cup holds water. Because of your great science knowledge, you know that all substances have their own special properties. You and your lab partner add an ice cube to each cup. The ice floats in one liquid. You predict it is water. And the ice sinks in the other liquid. You predict that liquid is alcohol. What type of property of matter did you use to identify the liquids?

They used density, density is the degree of compactness of a substance.

Density because ice is less dense than water, therefore it floats
However, ice is more dense than alcohol, so it sinks

Answer:

Explanation:

The changes in temperature caused by a reaction, combined with the values of the specific heat and the mass of the reacting system, makes it possible to determine the heat of reaction.

Heat energy can be measured by observing how the temperature of a known mass of water (or other substance) changes when heat is added or removed. This is basically how most heats of reaction are determined. The reaction is carried out in some insulated container, where the heat absorbed or evolved by the reaction causes the temperature of the contents to change. This temperature change is measured and the amount of heat that caused the change is calculated by multiplying the temperature change by the heat capacity of the system.

The apparatus used to measure the temperature change for a reacting system is called a calorimeter (that is, a calorie meter). The science of using such a device and the data obtained with it is called calorimetry. The design of a calorimeter is not standard and different calorimeters are used for the amount of precision required. One very simple design used in many general chemistry labs is the styrofoam "coffee cup" calorimeter, which usually consists of two nested styrofoam cups.

When a reaction occurs at constant pressure inside a Styrofoam coffee-cup calorimeter, the enthalpy change involves heat, and little heat is lost to the lab (or gained from it). If the reaction evolves heat, for example, very nearly all of it stays inside the calorimeter, the amount of heat absorbed or evolved by the reaction is calculated.

4. a compound called pyrene has the empirical formula c8h5. when 4.04 g of pyrene is dissolved in 10.00 g of benzene, the boilin
e-lub [12.9K]

The molecular mass of pyrene is 204.4 g/mol.

From;

ΔT = Kb m i

Where;

  • ΔT = boiling point elevation
  • Kb = boiling point constant
  • m = molality
  • i = Van't Hoff factor

Since the compound is molecular; i = 1

The number of moles of pyrene = 4.04 g/MM

Where; MM = molar mass of pyrene

molality = number of moles of pyrene/mass of solvent in Kg

The mass of solvent = 10 g or 0.01 Kg

molality =  4.04 g/MM/0.01

ΔT = Boiling point of solution - Boiling point of pure solvent

ΔT = 85.1°C - 80.1°C

ΔT = 5°C

5 = 2.53 × 4.04 g/MM/0.01 × 1

5 = 10.22 × 1/0.01 MM

0.05MM = 10.22

MM= 10.22/0.05

MM= 204.4 g/mol

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Molarity = 0.010M

Volume = 2.5L

Applying mole-concept,

0.010mole = 1L

X mole = 2.5L

X = (0.010 × 2.5) / 1

X = 0.025moles

0.025moles is present in 2.5L of NaOH solution.

Molar mass of NaOH = (23 + 16 + 1) = 40g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.025 × 40

Mass = 1g

1g is present in 2.5L of NaOH solution

G. whose vapour
german

Answer:

8.33 hours

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must apply Graham's law of diffusion in gases. Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its vapour density. For two gases we can write;

R1/R2=√d2/d1

Where;

R1= rate of diffusion of hydrogen

R2= rate diffusion of unknown gas

d1= vapour density of hydrogen

d2= vapour density of the unknown gas

Volume of hydrogen gas = 360cm^3

Time taken for hydrogen gas to diffuse= 1 hour =3600 secs

R1 = 360 cm^3/3600 secs = 0.1 cm^3 s-1

Vapour density of unknown gas = 25

Vapour density of hydrogen = 1

Substituting values,

0.1/R2 = √25/1

0.1/R2 = 5/1

5R2 = 0.1 × 1

R2 = 0.1/5

R2= 0.02 cm^3s-1

Volume of unknown gas = 600cm^3

Time taken for unknown gas to diffuse= volume of unknown gas/ rate of diffusion of unknown gas

Time taken for unknown gas to diffuse= 600/0.02

Time= 30,000 seconds or 8.33 hours

In the first 22.0 s of this reaction, the concentration of HBr dropped from 0.590 M to 0.465 M . Calculate the average rate of t
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The average rate is 2.84 X 10⁻³ Ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Average rate = -0.5*Δ[HBr]/Δt

given;

[HBr]₁ = 0.590 M

[HBr]₂ = 0.465 M

Δ[HBr] = [HBr]₂  - [HBr]₁ = 0.465 M - 0.590 M = -0.125 M

Δt Change in time = 22.0 s

Average rate = -0.5*Δ[HBr]/Δt

Average rate = - 0.5(-0.125)/22

Average rate = 0.00284 Ms⁻¹ = 2.84 X 10⁻³ Ms⁻¹

Therefore, the average rate is 2.84 X 10⁻³ Ms⁻¹
