If the solute fails to dissolve in the lauric acid, the molar mass that can be calculated based on the concentration of the solute dissolved in the lauric acid would be too low. This is because there are unaccounted masses that cannot be included in the calculation. This is a case of underestimation of the molar mass.
To avoid that this happens, ensure that all of the solute dissolves well in solvent by mechanical means (stirring, shaking, etc) or introducing heat.
Answer:
A) The reverse of the reaction is spontaneous
Explanation:
Spontaneous means those reaction which occur own their own or just need an initiation. As we know that,
∆G = ∆H-T∆S,
A reaction is spontaneous if ∆G Comes out to be negative . Because only those reactions occur in which either ∆H ( enthalpy change) is negative or ∆S (entropy change) is positive or both condition satisfied , as if in a reaction, let
A + B ------> B + C
If ∆G is positive when reaction proceed in forward direction, i.e. , it means it will be negative if proceed in backwards direction i.e on reactants side . Which means for such reaction backwards reaction is spontaneous.
Pure substances can or can not be chemically combined.
Pure substances can be either elements or compounds, but not mixture. Mixture are different substances mixing together without being chemically combined, such as air, which is a mixture of oxygen, carbon dioxide, water etc. Mixture can be separated by physical methods, like filtration or decantation.
Meanwhile, elements are the substances that cannot be further separated by any means. No matter physical or chemical methods. Examples of elements are oxygen, hydrogen, neon and all the other ones from the periodic table. Compounds are basically elements joining together, but they’re chemically combined which means their electrons (kind of subatomic particle) are either shared or given away. These elements can only be separated by chemical methods like electrolysis or heating.
Therefore, as long as the substance cannot be separated by physical methods, it can be considered as a pure substance. We can now conclude that pure substance can be (element) or can not be (compound) chemically combined.
Explanation:
A dependent variable depends on the independent variable. The independent variable is what you usually control in a experiment.
