Why are thermometers filled with alcohol instead for water?

Hello. Most thermometers would use mercury, but some use alcohol thanks to its freezing points. Alcohol freezes at -114 Celsius, while water freezes at 0 Celsius. If it was freezing outside, the water would freeze too, making the thermometer useless.

Most thermometers are filled with mercury, but some are filled with alcohol. The reason we use alcohol instead of water is that alcohol has a lower freezing point (-114°C) than water (0°C). 

Also, alcohol doesn't condensate on the top unlike water, which makes the reading of the thermometer easier to read.

Given the model from the question,

  • The products are: N₂, H₂O and H₂
  • The reactants are: H₂ and NO
  • The limiting reactant is H₂
  • The balanced equation is: 3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

From the model given, we obtained the ffolowing

  • Red => Oxygen
  • Blue => Nitrogen
  • White => Hydrogen

Thus, we can write the balanced equation as follow:

3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

  • Reactants: H₂ and NO
  • Product: N₂, H₂O and H₂

<h3>How to determine the limiting reactant</h3>

3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of H₂ reacted with 2 moles of NO.

Therefore,

5 moles of H₂ will react with = (5 × 2) / 3 = 3.33 moles of NO

From the calculation made above, we can see that only 3.33 moles of NO out of 4 moles given are required to react completely with 5 moles of H₂.

Thus, H₂ is the limiting reactant

2.00 L of 0.800 M NaNO3 must be prepared from a solution known to be 2.50 M in concentration.How many mL are required? Plus don'
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

1.36 × 10³ mL of water.

Explanation:

We can utilize the dilution equation. Recall that:

\displaystyle M_1V_1= M_2V_2

Where <em>M</em> represents molarity and <em>V</em> represents volume.

Let the initial concentration and unknown volume be <em>M</em>₁ and <em>V</em>₁, respectively. Let the final concentration and required volume be <em>M</em>₂ and <em>V</em>₂, respectively. Solve for <em>V</em>₁:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (2.50\text{ M})V_1 &= (0.800\text{ M})(2.00\text{ L}) \\ \\ V_1 & = 0.640\text{ L} \end{aligned}

Therefore, we can begin with 0.640 L of the 2.50 M solution and add enough distilled water to dilute the solution to 2.00 L. The required amount of water is thus:
\displaystyle 2.00\text{ L} - 0.640\text{ L} = 1.36\text{ L}

Convert this value to mL:
\displaystyle 1.36\text{ L} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} = 1.36\times 10^3\text{ mL}

Therefore, about 1.36 × 10³ mL of water need to be added to the 2.50 M solution.
