The answer is a. to increase surface area of a solute. The mortar and pestle can make the solute from bulk to powder. So the surface area will increase and the reaction rate or dissolving rate will also increase.

Answer : The correct option is, (a) to increase surface area of a solute

Explanation :

A mortar and pestle is a type tool that is used in the chemical laboratory for grinding and mixing the substances.

In the mortar and pestle, the pestle is a heavy or small substance that is made from porcelain material that has the rounded end. The mortar is a bowl type that is also made from porcelain material.

In the chemical laboratory, the scientists use a mortar and pestle due to increase the surface area of a solute. That means by the girding of the solute, the surface area will increases.

Hence, the correct option is, (a) to increase surface area of a solute

A 2.600×10−2 M solution of glycerol (C3H8O3) in water is at 20.0∘C. The sample was created by dissolving a sample of C3H8O3 in w
sesenic [268]

Answer:

A. 0.2395 w/w %

B. 2394ppm

Explanation:

A. To find concentrationin percent by mass of the solution we need to calculate mass of glycerol and mass of water. The formula is:

Mass glycerol / Total mass * 100

<em>Mass glycerol:</em>

The solution is 2.6x10⁻²moles / L. As there is 1L of solution there are 2.6x10⁻² moles of glycerol. In mass (Using molar mass glycerol: 92.09g/mol):

2.6x10⁻² moles of glycerol * (92.09g / mol) = 2.394g glycerol

<em>Mass of water:</em>

998.9mL and density = 0.9982g/mL:

998.9mL * (0.9982g/mL) = 997.1g of water.

That means percent by mass is:

% by mass: 2.394g / (997.1g + 2.394g) * 100 = 0.2395 w/w %

B. Parts per million are mg of glycerol per L of solution. As in 1L there are 2.394g. In mg:

2.394g * (1000mg / 1g) = 2394mg:

Parts per million: 2394mg / L = 2394ppm

Non electrolytes are Pentacarbon decahydride, Phosphorus pentachloride, Glucose.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Non electrolytes do not exist as ions in aqueous solution. Since it does not get dissociated into ions, these non electrolytes do not conduct electricity when it is dissolved or it is heated or melted.

Pentacarbon decahydride is a non electrolyte.

Magnesium chloride is an electrolyte.

Copper phosphate is an electrolyte

Sulfur trioxide is an electrolyte.

Aluminum oxide is an electrolyte

Phosphorus pentachloride do not get dissociated into its ions so it is a non-electrolyte.

Glucose gets dissolved in water but do not dissociate into ions, so it is a non electrolyte.

amounts of 15 other elements.

the ingredients of the average adult,right down to the last specks of protein in your eyelashes. And even though science has given us the entire physical breakdown, there's never been a successful attempt at bringing a human to life. There's still something missing. Something scientists haven't been able to find in centuries of research. ...and in case you're wondering, all those ingredients can be bought on a child's allowance. humans can be made rather cheap. There's no magic to it.
