Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A qualitative observation is defined as the observation which can only be expressed in word and not in numbers.

For example, Garlic has strong pungent odor.

This basically describes the quality of garlic that we can never express through numbers.

Whereas a quantitative observation is defined as the observation that can be expressed by number only.

For example, Garlic contains 84% water and 13% organic matter.

This shows that amount of water and organic matter present in a garlic. Hence, it is a quantitative observation.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options garlic contains 84% water and 13% organic matter, is NOT a qualitative observation.

I believe it is D because it is giving data about the garlic while the other answers are observations of the garlic

Be sure to answer all parts. Consider the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)ΔH o rxn = −92.6 kJ/mol If 4.0 moles of N2 react with

Sphinxa [80]

Answer : The work done is, $1.98\times 10^4J$

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is:

$N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)$

When 4 moles of $N_2$ react with 12 moles of $H_2$ then it gives 8 moles of $NH_3$

First we have to calculate the change in moles of gas.

Moles on reactant side = Moles of $N_2$ + Moles of $H_2$

Moles on reactant side = 4 + 12 = 16 moles

Moles on product side = Moles of $NH_3$

Moles on reactant side = 8 moles

Change in moles of gas = 16 - 8 = 8 moles

Now we have to calculate the change in volume of gas.

Using ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 1.0 atm

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles of gas = 8 mole

R = Gas constant = $0.0821L.atm/mol.K$

T = Temperature of gas = $25^oC=273+25=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.0atm\times V=8mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 298K$

$V=195.7L$

As the number of moles of gas decreased. So, the volume also deceased. Thus, the volume of gas will be, -195.7 L

Now we have to calculate the work done.

Formula used :

$w=-p\Delta V$

where,

w = work done

p = pressure of the gas = 1.0 atm

$\Delta V$ = change in volume = -195.7 L

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$w=-p\Delta V$

$w=-(1.0atm)\times (-195.7L)$

$w=195.7L.artm=195.7\times 101.3J=19824.41J=1.98\times 10^4J$

conversion used : (1 L.atm = 101.3 J)

Thus, the work done is, $1.98\times 10^4J$

Which of the following will decrease the percentage ionization of 1.0 M acetic acid, CH3CO2H(aq)?

arlik [135]

Answer: C. Adding concentrated HCL(aq)

Explanation:

HCl is an efficient acid that will increase the quantity of H+ in the solution and thus reduce the ionizing percentage of Ch3CO2H. The amount of ionization of the latter would be reduced by the addition of strong acid to a solution of weak acid.
