Answer:

B. Does the substance corrode when left in water?

Explanation:

The scientist in this question is concerned about a chemical property of the substance in question. Changing the shape of the substance or determining the color of the substance or finding the melting point of the substance although all useful in learning more about the substance, are all physical properties of the substance. Corrosion on the other hand is chemical reaction. That is the one test that tells the scientist more about chemical properties of the substance.

If we increase pressure on the gas what happens to the temperature?
irinina [24]

Answer: Temperature will Increase

PV=nRT. Ideal Gas Law

We see by inspection of the ideal gas law, there is a liner relationship between Pressure and Temperature of an ideal gas. So if the pressure is increased on the gas, then the Temperature will increase also.

Any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks and have a great day!

Would aluminum be as useful as food wrapping if it had a much lower melting point? Explain your answer.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The correct answers are as follows:

1. Aluminium will not be useful as food wrapping if it has a much lower melting point.

Aluminum is a metallic element that is malleable and soft, thus, it is easy to beat it into thin sheet, which are used to package food. The thin sheet is called aluminium foil. Aluminum is useful as a food wrapping because it has high temperature and thus, it does not react with food (the hotness of the packaged food is not capable of melting the metal). If the melting point of aluminium is lower, this implies that little temperature, such as the one from hot food will be able to melt aluminum foil, thus allowing the food to be contaminated with the metal.

2. When bleach react with fabric dye chemical change occur in the fabric.

The major element in bleach is chlorine. When laundry bleach is added to a fabric, the chlorine component of the bleach will react with the fabric dye and cause a colour change in the fabric. This type of change is called chemical change, because the original colour of the fabric can not be recovered.

3. Every substance has specific properties, which can be used to identify it. Two of such specific properties are melting point and boiling point. Melting point refers to a specific temperature at which a solid substance will melt while boiling point refers to a specific temperature at which a liquid substance will boil and turn to steam.

Water for instance has a boiling point of 100 degree Celsius. To find out if an unknown substance is water, one can determine the boiling point of such liquid. A boiling point of 100 degree Celsius will strongly signify that the substance is probably water. The same thing applies to melting point. If the specific boiling and melting point of substances are known, then they can be used to identify them.

What mass of methanol (CH3OH) is produced when 140.1 g of carbon
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

B. 96.12 g

Explanation:

To solve this question we must convert each reactant to moles. Using the balanced equation we can find limiting reactant. With moles of limiting reactant we can find the moles of methanol and its mass:

<em>Moles CO -Molar mass: 28.01g/mol-</em>

140.1g CO * (1mol / 28.01g) = 5.0 moles CO

<em>Moles H2 -Molar mass: 2.01g/mol- </em>

12.12g * (1mol / 2.01g) = 6.03 moles H2

For a complete reaction of 5.0 moles of CO are required:

5.0moles CO * (2mol H2 / 1mol CO) = 10.0 moles of H2 are required

As there are just 6.03 moles, <em>H2 is limiting reactant.</em>

The moles of methanol produced are:

6.03 moles H2 * (1mol CH3OH / 2mol H2) = 3.015 moles CH2OH

<em>Mass CH3OH -Molar mass32.04g/mol-:</em>

3.015 moles CH2OH * (32.04g/mol) =

96.6g CH3OH ≈ B. 96.12 g

Answer: mole fraction of SO_3 = 0.135

partial pressure of SO_3 = 0.128 atm

Explanation:

The partial pressure of a gas is given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_A=p_T\times \chi_A ......(1)

where,

p_A = partial pressure of substance A

p_T = total pressure

\chi_A = mole fraction of substance A

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

\chi_{SO_3}=\frac{17.0}{26.0+83.0+17.0}=0.135

Putting the values in equation (1):

p_{SO_3}=p_T\times \chi_{SO_3}

p_{SO_3}=0.950atm\times 0.135=0.128atm

Thus the mole fraction of SO_3 and its partial pressure are 0.135 and 0.128 atm.
