What advantages are there to graphical determinations of density over calculated density

Chemistry
1 answer:
salantis [7]4 years ago
6 0
When we make a graph for the determination of density, we place the mass on the y-axis and the volume on the x-axis, then plot each point. The greater accuracy achieved in the graphical method lies in the fact that a line of best fit is drawn to accommodate every point that is present on the graph. This means that all of the readings are being used to calculate the density; whereas, if you were to calculate density using only one reading of mass and volume, it would be far less accurate because it uses less data.

Explain, in terms of particles, why hc2h3o2(aq) can conduct an electric current.
Elena L [17]
Answer is: because this compound in water dissociates on cations and anions and ions in solution conduct electricity.

Chemical dissociation of acetic acid in water:
CH₃COOH(aq) ⇄ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
When we put electrodes (cathode and anode) in acetic acid solution, positeve and negative ions migrate to electrodes.
Negative acetate ions go to positive electrode and gives electrons to electrode.
Positive hydrogen ions go to negative electrode and gain electrons.

A sample of oxygen gas at a pressure of 1.19 atm and a temperature of 24.4 °C, occupies a volume of 18.7 liters. If the gas is a
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.757 \ atm}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the pressure of a gas given a change in volume. Since the temperature remains constant, we are only concerned with volume and pressure. We will use Boyle's Law, which states the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure. The formula for this law is:

P_1V_1= P_2V_2

Initially, the oxygen gas occupies a volume of 18.7 liters at a pressure of 1.19 atmospheres.

1.19 \ atm * 18.7 \ L = P_2V_2

The gas expands to a volume of 29.4 liters, but the pressure is unknown.

1.19 \ atm * 18.7 \ L = P_2 * 29.4 \ L

We are solving for the new pressure, so we must isolate the variable P_2. It is being multiplied by 29.4 liters. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 29.4 L.

\frac {1.19 \ atm * 18.7 \ L}{29.4 \ L} =\frac{ P_2 * 29.4 \ L}{29.4 \ L}

\frac {1.19 \ atm * 18.7 \ L}{29.4 \ L} =P_2

The units of liters cancel.

\frac {1.19 \ atm * 18.7 }{29.4 } =P_2

\frac {22.253}{29.4 } \ atm = P_2

0.7569047619 \ atm =P_2

The original measurements all have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place. The 9 in the ten-thousandth place to the right of this place tells us to round the 6 up to a 7.

0.757 \ atm \approx P_2

The pressure of the gas sample is approximately <u>0.757 atmospheres.</u>

A solution of water (kb=0.512 ?c/m) and glucose boils at 103.06 ?c. what is the molal concentration of glucose in this solution?
nirvana33 [79]
<span>When a solute is added to a solvent, some properties are affected and these set of properties are called colligative properties. The properties depend on the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. For this we use the boiling point elevation of the solution. We do as follows:

</span>ΔT(boiling point) = 103.06 °C - 100.0 °C= 3.06 °C<span>
ΔT(boiling point)  = (Kb)m
m = </span>ΔT(boiling point) / Kb<span>
m =  3.06 °C / 0.512 °C kg / mol
m = 5.98 mol / kg
