What defining feature makes a material an insulator?

Chemistry

kompoz [17]3 years ago

A defining feature of a material that is a good insulator would be its ability to stop or cancel an electric charge of another material. This happens because the molecules in the material are stable and there are no free electrons that would allow the charges to flow.

18 An important environmental consideration is the appropriate disposal of cleaning solvents. An environmental waste treatment c
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a) Percentage by mass of carbon: 18.3%

   Percentage by mass of hydrogen: 0.77%

b)  Percentage by mass of chlorine: 80.37%

c) Molecular formula: C_{2} H Cl_{3}

Explanation:

Firstly, the mass of carbon must be determined by using a conversion factor:

0.872g CO _{2} *\frac{12g C}{44g CO_{2} } = 0.238g CO_{2}

The same process is used to calculate the amount of hydrogen:

0.089g H_{2}O*\frac{2g H}{18g H_{2}O }  = 0.010g H

The percentage by mass of carbon and hydrogen are calculated as follows:

%C\frac{0.238g}{1.3g} *100%= 18.3%

%H\frac{0.010g}{1.3g} *100%=0.77%

From the precipation data it is possible obtain the amount of chlorine present in the compound:

1.75 AgCl*\frac{35.45g Cl}{143.45g AgCl}= 0.43g AgCl

Let's calculate the percentage by mass of chlorine:

%Cl=\frac{0.43g}{0.535g} * 100%= 80.37%

Assuming that we have 100g of the compound, it is possible to determine the number of moles of each element in the compound:

18.3g C*\frac{1mol C}{12g C} = 1.52mol C

0.77g H*\frac{1mol H}{1g H} = 0.77mol H

80.37gCl*\frac{1molCl}{35.45g Cl} = 2.27mol Cl

Dividing each of the quantities above by the smallest (0.77mol), the  subscripts in a tentative formula would be

C=\frac{1.52}{0.77} = 1.97 ≈ 2

H = \frac{0.77}{0.77} = 1

Cl =\frac{2.27}{0.77}=2.94≈3

The empirical formula for the compound is:

C_{2} H Cl_{3}

The mass of this empirical formula is:

mass of C + mass of H + mass of Cl= 24g +1+ 106.35 =131.35g

This mass matches with the molar mass, which means that the supscript in the molecular formula are the same of the empirical one.

What is the volume of 0.20 moles of helium at STP?
stealth61 [152]

The volume of 0.20 moles of helium at STP is 4.5 liters.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of moles  = 0.20 moles

To Find:

The volume of Helium at STP =?

Solution:

According to ideal gas law

PV = nRT

where

P is pressure,  

V  is volume,  

n  is the number of moles  

R  is the gas constant, and  

T  is temperature in Kelvin.

The question already gives us the values for  p  and  T ,because helium is at STP. This means that temperature is  273.15 K  and pressure is  1 atm .

We also already know the gas constant. In our case, we'll use the value of  

0.08206 L atm/K mol  since these units fit the units of our given values the best

On substituting these values we get

1 atm \times  V = 0.20 moles  \times  0.08206 L atm/K mol

V = \frac{0.20 moles  \times  0.08206 L atm/K mol }{ 1 atm}

V = \frac{4.482}{1}

V =  4.5 Liters
