Since a solution of KBr would probably cause significant damage to the car radiator and engine, you decide to use 125 g of the n

onelectrolyte octane (molar mass 114 g/mole). Will this have a greater or less effect on freezing point depression of the solution?

Answer:

When octane is used, the solution will have less effect on the freezing point depression of the solution

Explanation:

The complete question is:

Calculate the freezing point of a solution of 125 g KBr in 450 g water.

Since a solution of KBr would probably cause significant damage to the car radiator and engine, you decide to use 125 g of the nonelectrolyte octane (molar mass 114 g/mole). Will this have a greater or less effect on freezing point depression of the solution?

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass of KBr = 119.0 g/mol

Molar mass of octane = 114 g/mol

Mass of KBr = 125 grams

Mass of octane = 125 grams

Mass of water = 450 grams

Step 2: Calculate moles KBr

Moles KBr = mass KBr / molar mass KBr

Moles KBr = 125 grams / 119.0 g/mol

Moles KBr = 1.05 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles octane

Moles octane = 125 grams / 114 g/mol

Moles octane = 1.10 moles

Step 4: Calculate molality

Molality = moles compound / mass water

Molality KBr = 1.05 moles / 0.450 kg

Molality KBr = 2.33 molal

Molality octane = 1.10 moles / 0.450 kg

Molality octane = 2.44 molal

Step 5: Calculate the freezing point depression when KBr is used

ΔT = i*Kf * m

⇒with ΔT = the freezing point depression = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with i = the van't Hoff factor of KBr = 2

⇒with Kf = the freezing point depression constant of water = 1.86 °C/m

⇒with m= the molality = 2.33 molal

ΔT = 2*1.86 * 2.33

ΔT = 8.68 °C

This means the freezing point of this solution is -8.68 °C

Step 6: Calculate the freezing point depression when octane is used

ΔT = i*Kf * m

⇒with ΔT = the freezing point depression = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with i = the van't Hoff factor of the nonelectrolyte octane = 1

⇒with Kf = the freezing point depression constant of water = 1.86 °C/m

⇒with m= the molality = 2.44 molal

ΔT = 1* 1.86 * 2.44

ΔT = 4.54 °C

This means the freezing point of this solutions is -4.54 °C

When octane is used, the solution will have less effect on the freezing point depression of the solution

Nitrogen gas at 300 k and 200 kpa is throttled adiabatically to a pressure of 100 kpa if the change in kinetic energy is negligb

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The temperature of the Nitrogen after throttling is $T_2 = 300 \ K$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature is $T_1 = 300 \ K$

The pressure is $P = 200 \ kPa = 200 * 10^{3} \ Pa$

The pressure after being $P_1 = 100 \ kPa = 100 * 10^{3} \ Pa$

Generally from the first law of thermodynamics we have that

$Q - W = \Delta U + \Delta K$

Here $\Delta U$ is the change internal energy which is mathematically represented as

$\Delta U = C_p (T_2 - T_1)$

Here $C_p$ is the specific heat of the gas at constant pressure

$\Delta K$ is the change kinetic energy which is negligible

Q is the thermal energy which is Zero for an adiabatic process

W is the work done and the value is zero given that the gas was throttled adiabatically

So

$0= \Delta U +0$

=> $\Delta U = 0$

=> $(T_2 - 300) = 0$

=> $T_2 = 300 \ K$

What is the energy in joules of one photon of<br> microwaveradiation with a wavelength 0.122m?

pentagon [3]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy of photon is $162.93\times 10^{-26}J$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of the light = ?

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of photon = 0.122 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{0.122m}\\\\E=162.93\times 10^{-26}J$

Hence, the energy of photon is $162.93\times 10^{-26}J$
