It's a 50\50% but I am going to say true because of hydroelectric power

This is true because the water would have gravitational potential energy that is caused by the water being held back by the dam and the water wanting to flow down.

This can be converted into kinetic energy when given the chance to, such as having a turbine on the dam.

Hope this helps! :)

At 55.0 ∘C, what is the vapor pressure of a solution prepared by dissolving 78.4 g of LiF in 253 g of water? The vapor pressure

ddd [48]

Answer:

82.5 mmHg

Explanation:

The vapor pressure of a solution that contains a non-volatile solute will depend on the mole fraction of the solvent and on the vapor pressure of the pure solvent at the same temperature.

P sol= χsolvent ⋅ P∘solvent, where

Psol - the vapor pressure of the solution

χ solvent - the mole fraction of the solvent

P ∘solvent - the vapor pressure of the pure solvent

Now, the most important thing to realize here is that lithium fluoride,

LiF , a soluble ionic compound, will dissociate completely in aqueous solution to form lithium cations and fluoride anions.

LiF (aq] → Li+(aq] + F − (aq]

Notice that every mole of lithium fluoride produces one mole of lithium cations and one mole of fluoride anions.

This means that you get a total of two moles of ions for every one mole of lithium fluoride in the solution.

Use lithium fluoride's molar mass to determine how many moles would be found in the given sample

78.4g⋅ (1 mole LiF /25.94 g) = 3.022 moles LiF

This means that the solution will contain

3.022 moles LiF ⋅ (2 moles ions /1 mole LiF) = 6.044 moles ions

Now, water's mole fraction in this solution will be equal to the number of moles of water divided by the total number of moles present in the solution.

To get the number of moles of water, use its molar mass

253 g ⋅ (1 mole H 2O / 18.015 g) = 14.044 moles H 2O

This means that water's mole fraction will be

χwater = 14.044 moles / (14.044 +6.044 )moles = 0.6991

The vapor pressure of the solution will thus be

Psol= 0.6991 ⋅ 118 mmHg = 82.5 mmHg

16. Explain why antifreeze is used in vehicle radiators. Use your knowledge of the properties of

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Antifreeze is whats used to keep your engine cool without freezing.

Explanation:

it keeps the engine from overheating.

It also prevents corrosion.

Here is a quote from google "Antifreeze works because the freezing and boiling points of liquids are “colligative” properties. This means they depend on the concentrations of “solutes,” or dissolved substances, in the solution. A pure solution freezes because the lower temperatures cause the molecules to slow down"

That quote is from "The Science Behind Antifreeze"
