Answer: vapor pressure of solution will be less than that of the pure solvent

Explanation:

Vapor pressure of a liquid is defined as the pressure exerted by the vapors in equilibrium with the liquid/solution at a particular temperature.

So, when a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent then its molecules align at the surface of liquid. As a result, less number of solvent molecules will escape from the solution. Thus, there will be decrease in vapors and thus the vapor pressure decrease.

As the relative lowering of vapor pressure is directly proportional to the amount of dissolved solute.

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be,

$\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=\frac{w_2M_1}{w_1M_2}$

where,

$p^o$ = vapor pressure of pure solvent

$p_s$ = vapor pressure of solution

$w_2$ = mass of solute

$w_1$ = mass of solvent

$M_1$ = molar mass of solvent

$M_2$ = molar mass of solute

Plz help ASAP. thx for you answers ALGEBRA 2 sorry

So, the answer to 27.) would be <em>2x.</em> Both 6x and 2x can be divided by 2x, but they can't go any higher without the end-answer becoming a fraction. As such, 2x is the greatest common factor.

For 28.), x and x^2 can't be like terms, since like terms have the same variable and exponent :)

Hope I could help!

The answer is A

According to research I have done, pure solids and liquids are not included in the equilibrium constant expression. If the concentration of a reactant in aqueous solution is increased, the position of equilibrium will move in the direction which minimises the effect of this increase in concentration, by using the added component up, to decrese it's concentration again.

What we call "tin cans" are really iron cans coated with a thin layer of tin. The anode is a bar of tin and the cathode is the i

Answer:

$Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + Sn (s)$

Explanation:

Although the context is not clear, let's look at the oxidation and reduction processes that will take place in a Fe/Sn system.

The problem states that anode is a bar of thin. Anode is where the process of oxidation takes place. According to the abbreviation 'OILRIG', oxidation is loss, reduction is gain. Since oxidation occurs at anode, this is where loss of electrons takes place. That said, tin loses electrons to become tin cation:

$Sn (s)\rightarrow Sn^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-$

Similarly, iron is cathode. Cathode is where reduction takes place. Reduction is gain of electrons, this means iron cations gain electrons and produce iron metal:

$Fe^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Fe (s)$

The net equation is then:

$Sn (s) + Fe^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)$

However, this is not the case, as this is not a spontaneous reaction, as iron metal is more reactive than tin metal, and this is how the coating takes place. This implies that actually anode is iron and cathode is tin:

Actual anode half-equation:

$Fe (s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-$

Actual cathode half-equation:

$Sn^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Sn (s)$

Actual net reaction:

$Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + Sn (s)$
