The student is now told that the four solids, in no particular order, are magnesium bromide (MgBr2), sugar (C6H12O6), butanoic a

cid (C3H7COOH), and potassium bromide (KBr). Assuming that conductivity is correlated to the number of ions in solution, rank the four substances based on how well a 0.20 M solution in water will conduct electricity.

Answer:

Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) > Potassium bromide (KBr) > Butanoic acid (C₃H₇COOH) > Sugar (C₆H₁₂O₆)  (Conductivity)

Explanation:

The given samples:

<u>Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂):</u>

It is a strong salt which dissociates 100% into 3 ions, 1 Mg²⁺ and 2 Cl⁻

<u>Sugar (C₆H₁₂O₆):</u>

It is a carbohydrate and will have 0% dissociation and thus, no ions.

<u>Butanoic acid (C₃H₇COOH):</u>

It is a carboxylic acid (weak acids) which partially dissociates.

<u>Potassium bromide (KBr):</u>

It is a strong salt which dissociates 100% into 2 ions, K⁺ and Br⁻.

Thus, Conductivity is directly proportional to the numbers of ions dissociated in the solution and hence will conduct more electricity.

So,

<u>Magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) > Potassium bromide (KBr) > Butanoic acid (C₃H₇COOH) > Sugar (C₆H₁₂O₆)  (Conductivity)</u>

a flask contains 2 gases. the first gas has a pressure of 0.76 atm and the second gas gas a pressure of 4,500 Pa. what is the to
Liula [17]

Answer:

The total pressure is 0,804 atm

Explanation:

We use Dalton's law according to which the sum of the partial pressures is equal to the total pressure of a gas mixture. We convert the pressure in Pascals to atmosphere (it can also be done in reverse):

101300Pa ----1 atm

4500Pa----x= (4500Pa x 1atm)/101300Pa= 0,044 atm

P total= p1 + p2= 0,76 atm + 0,044 atm=0,804 atm

Calculate the percentage of each element in acetic acid, hc2h3o2, and glucose, c6h12o6.
My name is Ann [436]
<em>Acetic acid, HC2H3O2</em>

First, calculate for the molar mass of acetic acid as shown below.
    M = 1 + 2(12) + 3(1) + 2(16) = 60 g

Then, calculating for the percentages of each element.
<em> Hydrogen:</em>
    P1 = ((4)(1)/60)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>

<em> Carbon:</em>
   P2 = ((2)(12)/60)(100%) = <em>40%</em>

<em>Oxygen</em>
  P3 =((2)(16) / 60)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>

<em>Glucose, C6H12O6</em>

The molar mass of glucose is as calculated below,
   6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16) = 180

The percentages of the elements are as follow,
 <em> Hydrogen:</em>
   P1 = (12/180)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>

<em>Carbon:</em>
  P2 = ((6)(12) / 180)(100%) = <em>40%</em>

<em>Oxygen:</em>
  P3 = ((6)(16) / 180)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>

b. Since the empirical formula of the given substances are just the same and can be written as CH2O then, the percentages of each element composing them will just be equal.
