Answer:

C)We cannot be sure unless we find out its boiling point.

Explanation:

I will like to clearly state that simply comparing two compounds will not tell us exactly which one will be a liquid, solid or gas at room temperature.

If I want to determine whether an unknown substance will be a liquid at room temperature, I will have to measure its boiling point. If the boiling point is above room temperature, and the melting point is below room temperature, it’s a liquid. If the boiling point of the unknown substance is below room temperature, it is a gas.

This confirms that we cannot conclude on the state of matter in which a compound exists unless we know something about its boiling point, not by inspecting the properties of neighbouring compounds in the same homologous series

Which compound lauric acid or sucrose is more soluble in water?

Greeley [361]

Sucrose is more soluble in water. The reason can be attributed to hydrogen bonding between water molecules and sucrose molecules.

You start with 1 L of CO2 at standard temperature and pressure in a closed container. If you raise the temperature of the gas, t

pychu [463]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

If the initial temperature and pressure is standard,

Pressure = 1 atm

Temperature = 273.15 K

then we increase the temperature to 400.0 K, The pressure will be,

1 atm / 273.15 K = P₂/400.0K

P₂ = 1 atm × 400.0 K / 273.15 K

P₂ = 400.0 atm. K /273.15 K

P₂ = 1.46 atm

Pressure is also increase from 1 atm to 1.46 atm.

For each set of values, calculate the missing variable using the ideal gas law.

allsm [11]

Answer:

1. n = 0.174mol

2. T= 26.8K

3. P = 1.02atm

4. V = 126.88L

Explanation:

1. P= 2.61atm

V = 1.69L

T = 36.1 °C = 36.1 + 273= 309.1K

R = 0.082atm.L/mol /K

n =?

n = PV / RT = (2.61x1.69)/(0.082x309.1)

n = 0.174mol

2. P = 302 kPa = 302000Pa

101325Pa = 1atm

302000Pa = 302000/101325 = 2.98atm

V = 2382 mL = 2.382L

T =?

n = 3.23 mol

R = 0.082atm.L/mol /K

T= PV /nR = (2.98x2.382)/(3.23x0.082) = 26.8K

3. P =?

V = 0.0250 m³ = 25L

T = 288K

n = 1.08mol

R = 0.082atm.L/mol /K

P = nRT/V = (1.08x0.082x288)/25 = 1.02atm

4. P = 782 torr

760Torr = 1 atm

782 torr = 782/760 = 1.03atm

V =?

T = 303K

n = 5.26 mol

R = 0.082atm.L/mol /K

V = nRT/P

V = (5.26x0.082x303)/1.03 = 126.88L

One mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters at

-Dominant- [34]

Answer : One mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters at STP.

Explanation :

As we know that 1 mole of substance occupies 22.4 liter volume of gas at STP conditions.

STP stands for standard temperature and pressure condition.

At STP, pressure is 1 atm and temperature is 273 K.

By using STP conditions, we get the volume of 22.47 liter.

Hnece, the one mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters at STP.

What can be said of a closed system when an exothermic reaction proceeds in an aqueous solution?

lyudmila [28]

An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction that dissipates heat as the reaction proceeds. This would mean that in a closed system, when a reaction proceeds and is endothermic, the temperature of the solution or the system would increase so as to maintain the equilibrium with the whole system.
