Describe the cause of attraction between molecules of water

1 answer:

5 0

In a water molecule, the oxygen atom and hydrogen atoms share electrons in covalent bonds, but the sharing is not equal. In the covalent bond between oxygen and hydrogen, the oxygen atom attracts electrons a bit more strongly than the hydrogen atoms.

Calculate the activity coefficients for the following conditions:

uysha [10]

Answer:

For a: The activity coefficient of copper ions is 0.676

For b: The activity coefficient of potassium ions is 0.851

For c: The activity coefficient of potassium ions is 0.794

Explanation:

To calculate the activity coefficient of an ion, we use the equation given by Debye and Huckel, which is:

$-\log\gamma_i=\frac{0.51\times Z_i^2\times \sqrt{\mu}}{1+(3.3\times \alpha _i\times \sqrt{\mu})}$ ........(1)

where,

$\gamma_i$ = activity coefficient of ion

$Z_i$ = charge of the ion

$\mu$ = ionic strength of solution

$\alpha _i$ = diameter of the ion in nm

To calculate the ionic strength, we use the equation:

$\mu=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^n(C_iZ_i^2)$ ......(2)

where,

$C_i$ = concentration of i-th ions

$Z_i$ = charge of i-th ions

For a:

We are given:

0.01 M NaCl solution:

Calculating the ionic strength by using equation 2:

$C_{Na^+}=0.01M\\Z_{Na^+}=+1\\C_{Cl^-}=0.01M\\Z_{Cl^-}=-1$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\mu=\frac{1}{2}[(0.01\times (+1)^2)+(0.01\times (-1)^2)]\\\\\mu=0.01M$

Now, calculating the activity coefficient of $Cu^{2+}$ ion in the solution by using equation 1:

$Z_{Cu^{2+}}=2+\\\alpha_{Cu^{2+}}=0.6\text{ (known)}\\\mu=0.01M$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$-\log\gamma_{Cu^{2+}}=\frac{0.51\times (+2)^2\times \sqrt{0.01}}{1+(3.3\times 0.6\times \sqrt{0.01})}\\\\-\log\gamma_{Cu^{2+}}=0.17\\\\\gamma_{Cu^{2+}}=10^{-0.17}\\\\\gamma_{Cu^{2+}}=0.676$

Hence, the activity coefficient of copper ions is 0.676

For b:

We are given:

0.025 M HCl solution:

Calculating the ionic strength by using equation 2:

$C_{H^+}=0.025M\\Z_{H^+}=+1\\C_{Cl^-}=0.025M\\Z_{Cl^-}=-1$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\mu=\frac{1}{2}[(0.025\times (+1)^2)+(0.025\times (-1)^2)]\\\\\mu=0.025M$

Now, calculating the activity coefficient of $K^{+}$ ion in the solution by using equation 1:

$Z_{K^{+}}=+1\\\alpha_{K^{+}}=0.3\text{ (known)}\\\mu=0.025M$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$-\log\gamma_{K^{+}}=\frac{0.51\times (+1)^2\times \sqrt{0.025}}{1+(3.3\times 0.3\times \sqrt{0.025})}\\\\-\log\gamma_{K^{+}}=0.070\\\\\gamma_{K^{+}}=10^{-0.070}\\\\\gamma_{K^{+}}=0.851$

Hence, the activity coefficient of potassium ions is 0.851

For c:

We are given:

0.02 M $K_2SO_4$ solution:

Calculating the ionic strength by using equation 2:

$C_{K^+}=(2\times 0.02)=0.04M\\Z_{K^+}=+1\\C_{SO_4^{2-}}=0.02M\\Z_{SO_4^{2-}}=-2$

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\mu=\frac{1}{2}[(0.04\times (+1)^2)+(0.02\times (-2)^2)]\\\\\mu=0.06M$

Now, calculating the activity coefficient of $K^{+}$ ion in the solution by using equation 1:

$Z_{K^{+}}=+1\\\alpha_{K^{+}}=0.3\text{ (known)}\\\mu=0.06M$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$-\log\gamma_{K^{+}}=\frac{0.51\times (+1)^2\times \sqrt{0.06}}{1+(3.3\times 0.3\times \sqrt{0.06})}\\\\-\log\gamma_{K^{+}}=0.1\\\\\gamma_{K^{+}}=10^{-0.1}\\\\\gamma_{K^{+}}=0.794$

Hence, the activity coefficient of potassium ions is 0.794

Which statement best describes a typical difference that could be found between the "Analysis" and "Conclusion" sections of a

IgorC [24]

The statement “Only the “Conclusion” section discusses whether the original hypothesis was supported, and both sections suggest further research”, best describes the difference between analysis and conclusion.

Answer: Option 4

Explanation:

In research, we do experiments and derive the results. Then, those results were analyzed by us. In this analysis part, we compare our results with the related results published elsewhere. Also, we correlate the similarities and point out the differences between our analysis and other reported results.

In conclusion part, we have to check hypothesis or it supported. And, we summarise our analysis and figure out the further research need to be done on that to improvise our research. So, the final statement is the correct option which best describes the difference between analysis and conclusion.

What would happen to a glass of water placed in a closet for a few days? Why do you think this would happen?

Deffense [45]

Answer: It would evaporate. Random higher energy molecules in the surface and in the air will add energy by collision to the water molecules leading some of them to escape the liquid which is evaporation.

The empirical formula : C₁₂H₄F₇

The molecular formula : C₂₄H₈F₁₄

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

mol C (MW=12 g/mol)

$\tt \dfrac{18.24}{12}=1.52$

mol H(MW=1 g/mol) :

$\tt \dfrac{0.51}{1}=0.51$

mol F(MW=19 g/mol)

$\tt \dfrac{16.91}{19}=0.89$

mol ratio of C : H : O =1.52 : 0.51 : 0.89=3 : 1 : 1.75=12 : 4 : 7

Give an explanation of how mass determines (or affects) the force of gravity.

Alexxandr [17]

Mass determines the force of gravity like this:

If an object weight a lot it will affect the mass and gravity pulls on the object lots more when an object has lots of weight/mass.

Example: An airplane. An airplane probably weighs a ton. That is why gravity pushes it down in order for the plane to go down when it is landing or else it would be flying but never coming down. But the gravity pulling down the airplane is still there so the airplane has to be pulling the steer up in order for it to be heading straight.

Glad to help! :)
