A student is investigating the affect of different salts on melting points. Four patches of ice of equal size are roped off and

a different type of salt is poured on each, one receives table salt (NaCl), one receives Calcium Chloride (CaCl2), one receives Potassium Carbonate (KCO3) and the fourth receives inert sand instead. Each patch receives an equal amount of salt or sand. The student measures the volume of ice remaining and subtracts it from the original volume of ice to see how much melted away. What is a control variable in this experiment?

Answer: Fourth one which received inert sand.

Explanation:

A control variable is the one which remains unchanged in an experiment. It does not receive any treatment. It is considered as a benchmark or standard for comparison of changes occurring in the dependent or experimental variable.

According to the given situation, the fourth one is the correct option as the inert sand will not have any effect over the melting of ice. This can be useful for comparison of the effect of salts on the ice.

Answer:

The inert sand

Explanation:

A control variable is the variable in which the experiment does not depend on. The outcome of the control variable does not in any way validate or invalidate an experimental procedure.

The student seeks to investigate the effect of different salts on melting point. He used NaCl, CaCl₂, K₂CO₃ and inert sand. The first three are salts. Sand is made up of silica, SiO₂ and it is not a salt. Therefore, the control variable here is the inert sand. Sand is highly unreactive and would not in any significant way help the investigation.

Find the fugacity coefficient of a gaseous species of mole fraction 0.4 and fugacity 25 psia in a mixture at a total pressure of
Oksana_A [137]

<u>Answer:</u> The fugacity coefficient of a gaseous species is 1.25

<u>Explanation:</u>

Fugacity coefficient is defined as the ratio of fugacity and the partial pressure of the gas. It is expressed as \bar{\phi}

Mathematically,

\bar{\phi}_i=\frac{\bar{f_i}}{p_i}

Partial pressure of the gas is expressed as:

p_i=\chi_iP

Putting this expression is above equation, we get:

\bar{\phi}_i=\frac{\bar{f_i}}{\chi_iP}

where,

\bar{\phi}_i = fugacity coefficient of the gas

\bar{f_i} = fugacity of the gas = 25 psia

\chi_i = mole fraction of the gas = 0.4

P = total pressure = 50 psia

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\bar{\phi}_i=\frac{25}{0.4\times 50}\\\\\bar{\phi}_i=1.25

Hence, the fugacity coefficient of a gaseous species is 1.25

At a given temperature, the elementary reaction A − ⇀ ↽ − B , A↽−−⇀B, in the forward direction, is first order in A A with a rat
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The equilibrium constant for the reversible reaction = 0.0164

Explanation:

At equilibrium the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backwards reaction.

The reaction is given as

A ⇌ B

Rate of forward reaction is first order in [A] and the rate of backward reaction is also first order in [B]

The rate of forward reaction = |r₁| = k₁ [A]

The rate of backward reaction = |r₂| = k₂ [B]

(Taking only the magnitudes)

where k₁ and k₂ are the forward and backward rate constants respectively.

k₁ = 0.010 s⁻¹

k₂ = 0.0610 s⁻¹

|r₁| = 0.010 [A]

|r₂| = 0.016 [B]

At equilibrium, the rate of forward and backward reactions are equal

|r₁| = |r₂|

k₁ [A] = k₂ [B] (eqn 1)

Note that equilibrium constant, K, is given as

K = [B]/[A]

So, from eqn 1

k₁ [A] = k₂ [B]

[B]/[A] = (k₁/k₂) = (0.01/0.0610) = 0.0163934426 = 0.0164

K = [B]/[A] = (k₁/k₂) = 0.0164

Hope this Helps!!!

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Gold

Explanation:

Cranberry glass or 'Gold Ruby' glass is a red glass made by adding gold salts or colloidal gold to molten glass. Tin, in the form of stannous chloride, is sometimes added in tiny amounts as a reducing agent.
