Answer:

The reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a lower temperature.

Explanation:

A liquid will change its form when its vapor pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, the air pressure will be lower since there will be less air above your head compared to the sea level. This means the atmospheric pressure will be lower, and the vapor pressure needed for the liquid will be reduced.

The pressure is directly proportional to temperature. Since the vapor pressure required is lower, the liquid can start to boil at a lower temperatures.

The _HIGHER__ vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a _LOWER___ temperature.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is the pressure applied by the molecule of a liquid at the surface of the liquid as it transitions into a gaseous phase. When the vapor pressure exceeds the atmospheric pressure, this is when the liquid begins to boil. Therefore when the atmospheric pressure is low, then the liquid will boil at lower temperatures, because the vapor pressure of the liquid will overcome the atmospheric pressure at lower temperatures.

Which of the following molecules has one lone pair of electrons?

BigorU [14]

You can automatically rule out CH₄ since it has no lone pairs at all around the central atom. Water has 2. Ammonia is the only Lewis structure that contains one lone pair.

A 52.0 g of Copper (specific heat=0.0923cal/gC) at 25.0C is warmed by the addition of 299 calories of energy. find the final tem

Leto [7]

Answer : The final temperature of the copper is, $87.29^oC$

Solution :

Formula used :

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

Q = heat gained = 299 cal

m = mass of copper = 52 g

c = specific heat of copper = $0.0923cal/g^oC$

$\Delta T=\text{Change in temperature}$

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = ?

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature = $25^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the final temperature of copper.

$299cal=52g\times 0.0923cal/g^oC\times (T_{final}-25^oC)$

$T_{final}=87.29^oC$

Therefore, the final temperature of the copper is, $87.29^oC$

Choose the aqueous solution that has the highest boiling point. These are all solutions of nonvolatile solutes and you should as

UNO [17]

Answer: 0.100 m $K_2SO_4$

Explanation:

Elevation in boiling point is given by:

$\Delta T_b=i\times K_b\times m$

$\Delta T_b=T_b-T_b^0$ = Elevation in boiling point

i= vant hoff factor

$K_b$ = boiling point constant

m= molality

1. For 0.100 m $K_2SO_{4}$

$K_2SO_4\rightarrow 2K^{+}+SO_4^{2-}$

, i= 3 as it is a electrolyte and dissociate to give 3 ions. and concentration of ions will be $3\times 0.100=0.300$

2. For 0.100 m $LiNO_3$

$LiNO_3\rightarrow Li^{+}+NO_3^{-}$

, i= 2 as it is a electrolyte and dissociate to give 2 ions, concentration of ions will be $2\times 0.100=0.200$

3. For 0.200 m $C_2H_8O_3$

, i= 1 as it is a non electrolyte and does not dissociate, concentration of ions will be $1\times 0.200=0.200$

4. For 0.060 m $Na_3PO_4$

$Na_3PO_4\rightarrow 3Na^{+}+PO_4^{3-}$

, i= 4 as it is a electrolyte and dissociate to give 4 ions. and concentration of ions will be $4\times 0.060=0.24m$

Thus as concentration of solute is highest for $K_2SO_4$ , the elevation in boiling point is highest and thus has the highest boiling point.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Mg will be the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

Mg + 2 HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg: 1 mole
HCl: 2 moles
MgCl₂: 1 mole
H₂: 1 mole

Being the molar mass of each compound:

Mg: 24.3 g/mole
HCl: 36.45 g/mole
MgCl₂: 95.2 g/mole
H₂: 2 g/mole

By reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg: 1 mole* 24.3 g/mole= 24.3 g
HCl: 2 moles* 36.45 g/mole= 72.9 g
MgCl₂: 1 mole* 95.2 g/mole= 95.2 g
H₂: 1 mole* 2 g/mole= 2 g

0.0350 g of Mg is reacted with 10.00 mL (equal to 0.01 L) of 6 M HCl.

Molarity being the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a certain volume, expressed as:

$Molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}$

in units $\frac{moles}{liter}$

then, the number of moles of HCl that react is:

$6 M=\frac{number of moles of HCl}{0.01 L}$

number of moles of HCl= 6 M*0.01 L

number of moles of HCl= 0.06 moles

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 2 moles of HCl react with 24.3 grams of Mg, 0.06 moles of HCl react with how much mass of Mg?

$mass of Mg=\frac{0.06 moles of HCl* 24.3 grams of Mg}{2 moles of HCl}$

mass of Mg= 0.729 grams

But 0.729 grams of Mg are not available, 0.0350 grams are available. Since you have less mass than you need to react with 0.06 moles of HCl, <u><em>Mg will be the limiting reagent.</em></u>
