Explanation:
As it is known that there are two types of properties. These are extensive and intensive.
Extensive properties : Properties that depend on the size or amount of system. For example, mass, volume etc.
Intensive properties : Properties that do not depend on the size or amount of system. For example, density, melting point, specific heat capacity etc.
On the basis of these properties water and ethanol are distinguished as follows.
- Density of water is 997 kg/
whereas density of ethanol is 789 kg/
- Melting point of water is zero degree celsius whereas melting point of ethanol is -114.1 degree celsius.
- Specific heat capacity of water is 4.184
whereas specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.46
- Mass of the given liquids cannot be differentiated because they will keep on changing depending on the quantity required. As mass is an extensive property, therefore, it is difficult to differentiate between the two liquids.
Thus, we can conclude that properties like density, melting point, specific heat capacity can help a chemist distinguish between ethanol and water.
The correct question is as follows: 0.500 moles of potassium oxide is dissolved in enough water to make 2.00 L of solution. Calculate the molarity of this solution (plz help!)
Answer: The molarity of this solution is 0.25 M.
Explanation:
Molarity is the number of moles of a substance divided by volume in liter.
As it is given that there are 0.5 moles of potassium oxide in 2.00 L of water so, the molarity of this solution is calculated as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that molarity of this solution is 0.25 M.
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A limiting reagent is defined as a reagent that completely gets consumed in a chemical reaction. A limiting reagent limits the formation of products.
For example, we have given 5 mol of A and the reaction is
Whereas when 4 mol B will react with 2 mol of A. Hence, 8 mol of B will react with 4 mol A as follows.
= 4 mol
As, the given moles of A is more than the required moles. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent.
Hence, B is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.
Thus, we can conclude that limiting reactant is the term used to describe the reactant that is used up completely and controls the amount of product that can be produced during a chemical reaction.
