The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The common laboratory solvent chloroform is often used to purify substances dissolved in it. The vapor pressure of chloroform, CHCl₃, is 173.11 mm Hg at 25°C.

In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 7.229 grams of the compound were dissolved in 207.8 grams of chloroform, the vapor pressure of the solution was 170.51 mm Hg. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte. What is the molecular weight of this compound?

<u>Answer:</u> The molecular mass of the compound is 481.9 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate relative lowering of vapor pressure follows:

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times \chi_{solute}

where,

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o} = relative lowering in vapor pressure

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolytes)

\chi_{solute} = mole fraction of solute = ?

p^o = vapor pressure of pure chloroform = 173.11 mmHg

p_s = vapor pressure of solution = 170.51 mmHg

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{173.11-170.51}{173.11}=1\times \chi_A\\\\\chi_A=0.0150

This means that 0.0150 moles of compound is present in the solution

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of compound = 0.0150 moles

Given mass of compound = 7.229 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0150mol=\frac{7.229g}{\text{Molar mass of compound}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of compound}=\frac{7.229g}{0.0150mol}=481.9g/mol

Hence, the molecular mass of the compound is 481.9 g/mol

grin007 [14]

Answer:

amusement parks. Each day, we flock by the millions to the nearest park, paying a sizable hunk of money to wait in long lines for a short 60-second ride on our favorite roller coaster. The thought prompts one to consider what is it about a roller coaster ride that provides such widespread excitement among so many of us and such dreadful fear in the rest? Is our excitement about coasters due to their high speeds? Absolutely not! In fact, it would be foolish to spend so much time and money to ride a selection of roller coasters if it were for reasons of speed. It is more than likely that most of us sustain higher speeds on our ride along the interstate highway on the way to the amusement park than we do once we enter the park. The thrill of roller coasters is not due to their speed, but rather due to their accelerations and to the feelings of weightlessness and weightiness that they produce. Roller coasters thrill us because of their ability to accelerate us downward one moment and upwards the next; leftwards one moment and rightwards the next. Roller coasters are about acceleration; that's what makes them thrilling. And in this part of Lesson 2, we will focus on the centripetal acceleration experienced by riders within the circular-shaped sections of a roller coaster track. These sections include the clothoid loops (that we will approximate as a circle), the sharp 180-degree banked turns, and the small dips and hills found along otherwise straight sections of the track.

alexandr1967 [171]
The question here is solved using basic chemistry. CaCl2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Cl⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of CaCl2 that dissolves.
CaCl2(s) --> Ca+(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)
            [Cl⁻] = 0.65 mol CaCl2/1L × 2 mol Cl⁻ / 1 mol CaCl2 = 1.3 M
The answer to this question is [Cl⁻] = 1.3 M

Lewis structure for nitrogen triiodide, NI(3)
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Lewis structure for nitrogen triiodide,NI_3 is given in the attachment.

Explanation:

Given:

The given compound is Nitrogen triiodide. In which 1 atom of Nitrogen combines with 3 atoms of Iodine. Both Nitrogen and Iodine are non-metals,So they form covalent bond by sharing of electrons.

The electron configuration of Nitrogen and Iodine is given below;

N(7) = 1s^2,2s^22p^3\\I(53) = 1s^2,2s^22p^6,3s^23p^63d^{10},4s^24p^64d^{10},5s^25p^5

There are 5 electrons in valance shell of Nitrogen atom and 7 electrons in valance shell of Iodine atom.

So, 3 atom of Iodine shares 1 electron with 1 electrons of Nitrogen.

The Lewis dot Structure is in the attachment.

Transpiration meaning and examples
FinnZ [79.3K]

Explanation:

Transpiration is the movement of water through plants using the xylem and also their loss from plants surfaces.

Water is a lost from plants from the leaves and the stomata. This water is usually replaced by the absorption of water by the root.

  • Transpiration is an important part of the water cycle in the biosphere.
  • Significant amount of water is lost from plant in the process of transpiration.
  • Transpiration water condenses in the atmosphere to form rain clouds.

An example of transpiration when water loses water from their leaves.
