If you lived in Flagstaff, Arizona, how much salt (NaCl) would you have to add to your spaghetti water to get it to boil at 100

oC. Assume you are using 2 quarts of water in your spaghetti pot. Report the amount of salt in units you might actually be able to measure in your kitchen. If you have a scale that shows grams that will be okay. (Hint: To get started find out the actual boiling point of water in Flagstaff.) It is at an elevation above 7000 ft.)

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is both theoretical and practical. While the theoretical aspect will be detailed fully here, the practical aspect will be provided as a form of guidance.

Water generally boils at 100°C when altitude (in feet) is 0. One of the colligative properties that occurs <u>when salt is added to water is that there is a boiling point elevation</u>(meaning an increase in boiling point). For instance, if 20g of salt is added to about 5.3 quarts of water, the boiling point of water will increase from 100°C to 100.04°C.

However, when the altitude/elevation of a place is about 7000 ft (like in Flagstaff, Arizona), water will boil at 95.3°C. In order to get 2 quarts of water to boil at 100°C in Flagstaff;

20g causes an increase in boiling point by 0.04°C (100°C to 100.04°C) in 5.3 quarts of water

What gram will increase the boiling point by same 0.04°C in 2 quarts

20g ⇒ 5.3

X ⇒ 2

5.3 X ⇒ 40g

X = 40 ÷ 5.3

X = 7.55g

Hence, 7.55g will cause an increase in boiling point by 0.04°C (from 100°C to 100.04°C) in 2 quarts of water

What mass of salt will increase the boiling point by 4.7°C (95.3°C to 100°C)

7.55g ⇒ 0.04

X ⇒ 4.7

X × 0.04 ⇒ 7.55 × 4.7

0.04X ⇒ 35.5

X = 887.5g

Hence, in order for the spaghetti water to boil at 100°C, 887.5g of salt needs to be added.

For the practical part of the question, some Kitchen scales have an accuracy of .25kg (250g) and some have an accuracy of .2 kg (200g) and some have an accuracy of .5kg (500g). The one your kitchen has will determine the amount of salt that you can measure. For example, if your kitchen scale/balance has an accuracy of 250g/0.25kg, then you can only measure 750g of the 887.5g (as the rest is 137.5g, which is not up to 250g of the scale's accuracy) of the required salt measurement. However, if you have a digital balance that can measure up to 2kg/2000g in one decimal place, that's the perfect balance to measure this salt.

The rate constant for the second-order reaction !s 0. 54 m-1 s-1 at 300°c. how long (in seconds) would 1t take for the concentra
Jlenok [28]

The answer is 3.63. seconds.

Second order reaction is the reaction in which the rate of reaction depends on either the concentration of two reactant species or on the two times the concentration of single reactant species.

What is the integrated rate law for the second-order reaction?

  • The integrated rate law that relates the concentration, time and rate constant for the second-order reaction is:

\frac{1}{[A]} =\frac{1}{[A]_{0} } +kt

Where

\[\begin{array}{l}{\rm{[A]  -  concentration\ of\ reactant\ A\ at\ time\ t}}\\{{\rm{[A]}}_0}{\rm{ -  initial\ concentration\ of\ reactant\ A}}\\{\rm{t - time}}\\{\rm{k  -  rate\ constant}}\end{array}\]

  • Now, in the given question,

k = 0.54 m^{-1}. s^{-1}

[NO_{2} ]= 0.62\ M

[NO_{2} ]_{0} = 0.28\ M

  • Thus, using the rate law, the time is calculated as-

\frac{1}{0.28\ M} =\frac{1}{0.62\ M } +(0.54 m^{-1}.s^{-1})  t\\\\(0.54 m^{-1}.s^{-1})  t= \frac{1}{0.28\ M} -\frac{1}{0.62\ M } = 1.959 \\\\

Therefore,

t =\frac{1.959}{0.54} = 3.63\ seconds

  • Hence, the it would take 3.63 seconds for the concentration of NO_{2} to decrease from 0.62 M to 0.28 M if the reaction is second order.

Which best protects animal species that are endangered due to overhunting?
jekas [21]

Answer:

Captive breeding

Explanation:

Endangered species, such as the Black Rhino, Saola, Cross River Gorrillas, the Blue Whale, and a host of others, are species that are critically under the verge of extinction either as a result of the destruction of their habitat or poaching/overhunting, which has really led to steep decline in their population.

Several attempts have been made and ate being made to ensure the preserve and protect these endangered species form going extinct.

However, the best of such measures or practices is arguably referred to as Captive Breeding.

Captive breeding involves the capturing of some of these endangered species and transporting them to enclosed and monitored facilities such as zoos in other to promote the increase preservation and survival of these species and ensuring they don't go extinct.

In most cases, when a considerable increase in population in these facilities is established through breeding, some of them are later on reintroduced to their natural habitat in the wild. This do not only ensure biodiversity, it also ensures the population of the endangered species to grow and avoid such species from going extinct.

What is the definition of bond length?
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

C: No correct response

Explanation:

Bond length is simply defined as the distance between two atoms that are participating in a bond.

Now, looking at the options, none of the options correctly defines it this way. The closest is option E which is "distance between two electrons" but it uses the word electrons instead of atoms. Thus none of the statements are correct
