Answer:

Tyndall effect is the process of scattering of a beam of light by the dispersed phase of a colloidal solution.

Explanation:

This only takes place in such a solution where the particles have size b/w 1000nm to 1 nm. these particles keep floating because they have charge as well as they too light to sink, thus they are not affected even on the acting of gravitational force. this is therefore only possible in a colloidal solution and sometimes even in suspension as particles are first seen floating then on gravity they settle down. To show this we can perform a small activity,

We need to take two solutions- a true solution like salt water and a colloidal solution like milk solution.

using a torch pass a beam of light through the solutions. you will notice that in the case of a milk solution, you can see the path of light as the dispersed phase particles reflect it. but in the case of a true solution it is unable to see the path of light as the particles are too small. The path of light therefore cannot be seen.

Hence, this proves that true solution cannot show Tyndall effect whereas colloidal solutions show.

Answer:

The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light as a light beam passes through a colloid. The individual suspension particles scatter and reflect light, making the beam visible. The amount of scattering depends on the frequency of the light and density of the particles

Explanation:

And an activity to see if the solution doesn't show the tyndall effect is to try to shine a flaslight through it and see if you can see it coming out the other end

How many grams of ethylene glycol (c2h6o2 must be added to 1.25 kg of water to produce a solution that freezes at -5.88 ∘c?
e-lub [12.9K]
The freezing point depression is calculated through the equation,
                                    ΔT = (kf)  x m 
where ΔT is the difference in temperature, kf is the freezing point depression constant (1.86°C/m), and m is the molality. Substituting the known values,
                                   5.88 = (1.86)(m)
m is equal to 3.16m

Recall that molality is calculated through the equation,
                                  molality = number of mols / kg of solvent
                                       number of mols = (3.16)(1.25) = 3.95 moles
Then, we multiply the calculated amount in moles with the molar mass of ethylene glycol and the answer would be 244.9 g.

Why is the formation of water a synthesis reaction?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction: It is defined as a kind of reaction where one and more than one reactant attached and creates an individual product.

The formation of the water is an example of a synthesis reaction because here more than one reactants combine and create a single product (water). Water formation occurs when 2 hydrogens and an oxygen share electrons through covalent bonds.

2H + O ----> H2O.

An atom has the following electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 . How many valence electrons does this Atom have
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

This atom is sulfur (if the electrons are equal to the protons/not an ion). You can tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the individual shell. The first shell (1s) can only hold 2 electrons. The second shell (2s and 2p) can hold 8 electrons. The third shell (3s and 3p), which is the valence shell, only has 6 out of its possible 8 electrons, so this atom has 6 valence electrons.
