How will the vapor pressure of a solution compare to the pure solvent?

Chemistry

n200080 [17]3 years ago
4 0

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

What causes a water strider to be able to walk on water?
Lena [83]

Answer:

By repelling water, the tiny water striders stand on the water's surface and the captured airs allows them to float and move easily.  so number 2. Surface Tension.

Explanation:

The attraction between water molecules creates tension and a very delicate membrane. Water striders walk on this membrane. ... The legs have tiny hairs that repel water and capture air.

what are we/what has someone did to prevent/lessen the negative side effects of aluminium extraction?
kogti [31]

Aluminum is one of the main factors that reduce plant growth in acid soils. Although it is generally harmful to plants in soils with a neutral medium, the concentration of positive aluminum ions in acid soils increases and malfunctions in root and function growth.

Most acid soils are saturated with aluminum rather than hydrogen ions. Soil acidity is the result of hydrolysis of aluminum compounds. This principle (lime correction) to determine the degree of base saturation in the soil has become the basis of the methods used in soil testing laboratories to determine the lime requirements for soil. Application of lime to soil reduces the toxicity of aluminum to plants. Note This connector loads slowly.

Adaptation of wheat to allow aluminum to be carried out is due to the fact that aluminum releases organic compounds that in turn combine with harmful aluminum cations. It is believed that sorghum has the same endurance. The first genes found to withstand aluminum were found in wheat. Aluminum sulphide bearing has been found to be governed by an individual gene, such as in wheat. This is not the case in all plants.

Virty [35]
Explain whether this is a chemical or physical change, and why. does it involve elements, compounds, mixtures, or pure substances?

If the process involves a chemical reaction then surely it is a chemical change where new bonds are being formed from the collision of the reactants.

Describe how many atoms are involved before and after. what do you notice about the number of atoms?

From the balanced chemical reaction, we see that we need 1 mol of N2 gas and 3 mol of H2 in order to form 2 mol of NH3.
