Answer:

a) if the solid floats

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the determination of the volume of a solid when submerged in water requires to use an analytical balance to measure the mass, but also it is necessary that the solid sinks in order to completely displace the what in the graduated cylinder which accurately provides the volume of the solid via its scale. Therefore, a draw back is a) if the solid floats since the water is not completely displaced.

Best regards.

Imagine two solutions with the same concentration and the same boiling point, but one has benzene as the solvent and the other h

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Complete question:

Imagine two solutions with the same concentration and the same boiling point, but one has benzene as the solvent and the other has carbon tetrachloride as the solvent. Determine that molal concentration, m (or b), and boiling point, Tb.

benzene boiling point=80.1 Kb=2.53

carbon tetrachloride boiling point=76.8 Kb=5.03

Answer:

m = 1.32 mol/kg

Boiling point: 83.4°C

Explanation:

When a nonvolatile solute is added to a pure solvent, the boiling point of the solvent increases, a phenomenon called ebullioscopy. This happens because of the interactions between the solute and the solvent. The temperature variation (new boiling point - normal boiling point) can be calculated by:

ΔT = m*Kb*i

Where m is the molal concentration (moles o solute/mass of solvent in kg), Kb is the ebullioscopy constant of the solvent, and i is the van't Hoff factor, which indicates how much of the solute dissociates. Let's assume that i is equal in both solvents and equal to 1 (the solvent dissociates completely)

Calling the new boiling point as Tb, for benzene:

Tb - 80.1 = m*2.53*1

Tb = 2.53m + 80.1

For carbon tetrachloride:

Tb - 76.8 = m*5.03*1

Tb = 5.03m + 76.8

Because Tb and m are equal for both:

5.03m + 76.8 = 2.53m + 80.1

2.5m = 3.3

m = 1.32 mol/kg

So, substituting m in any of the equations (choosing the first):

Tb = 2.53 * 1.32 + 80.1

Tb = 83.4°C

What is the reaction which a metal element displaces the metal atom of a compound?

Marina86 [1]

A single replacement reaction, sometimes called a single displacement reaction, is a reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound.

Consider the given acid ionization constants. identify the strongest conjugate base.

WARRIOR [948]

The question is incomplete. Complete question is:
<span>Consider the given acid ionization constants. identify the strongest conjugate base.
</span>HNO2(aq) 4.6×10−4
HCHO2(aq) 1.8×10−4
HClO(aq) 2.9×10−8
HCN(aq) 4.9×10−10
.........................................................................................................................
Correct Answer: option 4: HCN(aq) 4.9×10−10

Reason:
According to Lowry and Bronsted theory of acid and base. Stronger the acid, weaker will be the conjugate base.

In present case, ionization constant is highest of HCN i.e. 4.9× $10^{-10}$ . This signifies that, it is the strongest acid. Hence, conjugate base associated with this acid (i.e. $CN^{-}$ ) is the weakest.
