Give an example of a state function and explain why it is a state function

1 answer:

8 0

State functions include density, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy. Such a relation cannot be written for path functions, especially since these cannot be defined for the limiting states. Path functions depend on the route taken between two states. Two examples of path functions are heat and work.

Tris is a molecule that can be used to prepare buffers for biochemical experiments. It exists in two forms: Tris (a base) and Tr

ale4655 [162]

Solution :

For the reaction :

$\text{TrisH}^+ + H_2O \rightarrow \text{Trish}^- + H_3O^+$

we have

$Ka = \frac{[\text{Tris}^- \times H_3O]}{\text{Tris}^+}$

$=\frac{x^2}{0.02 -x}$

$=8.32 \times 10^{-9}$

Clearing $x$ , we have $x = 1.29 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles of acid}$

So to reach $\text{pH} = 7.8 (\text{pOH}= 14-7.8=6.2)$ , one must have the $\text{OH}^-$ concentration of the :

$\text{[OH}^-]=10^{-pOH} = 6.31 \times 10^{-7} \text{ moles of base}$

So we can add enough of 1 M NaOH in order to neutralize the acid that is calculated above and also adding the calculated base.

$\text {n NaOH}=1.29 \times 10^{-5}+6.31 \times 10^{-7}$

$= 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles}$

Volume NaOH $= 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles} \times \frac{1000 \text{ mL}}{1 \text{ mol}} = 0.0135 \text{ mL}$

Tris mass $H^+ = 0.02 \text{ mol} \times 157.6 \text{ g/mol}=3.152 \text{ g}$

Now to prepare the said solution we must mix:

$3.152 \text{ g Tris H} + 0.0135 \text{ mL NaOH} \ 1 M$ gauge to 1000 mL with water.

A metal stand specifies a maximum load of 450 lb. Will it support an aquarium that weighs 59.5 lb and is filled with 37.9 L of s

DedPeter [7]

First solve the mass of 37.9 L seawater

M = 37.9 L ( 1000 ml / 1L ) ( 1.03 g / ml)

M = 39037 g

Then convert it to lb

M = 39037 g ( 1 lb / 453.592 g)

M = 86.06 lb

<span>Total weight = 86.06 lb + 59.5 lb = 145.56 lb so it can support the aquarium</span>

How does the air on a hot day compare with the air on a cold day?

MrMuchimi

Air on a hot day translates to hot air and air on a cold day translates to cold air. The hot air usually have more energy due to particles being more excited by the heat.

A student observes two strips of magnesium, mg ribbon that are each 3cm long. One strip of magnesium

ankoles [38]

Therefore option c , i.e. The substances in both test tubes are reactive only at high temperatures. is the only statement which is NOT supported by the student's observations.

<h3>What is the reaction between Magnesium and Hydrogen ?</h3>

Magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas

Mg (s) + 2 HCl (aq) → MgCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

In this reaction, the magnesium and acid are gradually used up , which can be seen in the test tube 2 .

A chemical reaction is taking place in Test tube 2 ,

Hydrogen gas is released in test tube 2 ,

Energy is released in the reaction involving hydrochloric acid and we can see in test tube 2 the reaction is going on

therefore option C i.e. The substances in both test tubes are reactive only at high temperatures. is the only statement which is NOT supported by the student's observation.

To know more about the chemical reaction between Magnesium and Hydrogen and this test.
