An ideal gas in a cylindrical container of radius r and height h is kept at constant pressure p. The bottom of the container is

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

$m =\frac{p*(pi)*r^{2}*h*mw}{R*\frac{T_{1} + T_{O}}{2}}$

Explanation:

The gas ideal law is

PV= nRT (equation 1)

Where:

P = pressure

R = gas constant

T = temperature

n= moles of substance

V = volume

Working with equation 1 we can get

$n =\frac{PV}{RT}$

The number of moles is mass (m) / molecular weight (mw). Replacing this value in the equation we get.

$\frac{m}{mw} =\frac{PV}{RT}$ or

$m =\frac{P*V*mw}{R*T}$ (equation 2)

The cylindrical container has a constant pressure p

The volume is the volume of a cylinder this is

$V =(pi)*r^{2}*h$

Where:

r = radius

h = height

(pi) = number pi (3.1415)

This cylinder has a radius, r and height, h so the volume is $V =(pi)*r^{2}*h$

Since the temperatures has linear distribution, we can say that the temperature in the cylinder is the average between the temperature in the top and in the bottom of the cylinder. This is:

$T =\frac{T_{1} + T_{O}}{2}$

Replacing these values in the equation 2 we get:

$m =\frac{P*V*mw}{R*T}$ (equation 2)

$m =\frac{p*(pi)*r^{2}*h*mw}{R*\frac{T_{1} + T_{O}}{2}}$

Buffer preparation. You wish to prepare a buffer consisting of acetic acid and sodium acetate with a total acetic acid plus acet

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

0.182 moles of acetic acid are needed, this means 10.93 g.

0.318 moles of sodium acetate are needed, this means 26.08 g.

Explanation:

The Henderson–Hasselbalch (<em>H-H</em>) equation tells us the relationship between the concentration of an acid, its conjugate base, and the pH of a buffer:

pH = pka + $log\frac{[A^{-} ]}{[HA]}$

In this case, [A⁻] is the concentration of sodium acetate, and [HA] is the concentration of acetic acid. The pka is a value that can be looked up in literature: 4.76.

From the problem we know that

[A⁻] + [HA] = 250 mM = 0.250 M eq. 1

We use the <em>H-H</em> equation, using the data we know, to describe [A⁻] in terms of [HA]:

5.0 = 4.76 + $log\frac{[A^{-} ]}{[HA]}$

$0.24=log\frac{[A^{-} ]}{[HA]}\\\\10^{0.24}=\frac{[A^{-} ]}{[HA]}\\ 1.74 [HA] = [A^{-}]$ eq.2

Now we replace the value of [A⁻] in eq. 1, to calculate [HA]:

1.74 [HA] + [HA] = 0.250 M

[HA] = 0.091 M

Then we calculate [A⁻]:

[A⁻] + 0.091 M = 0.250 M

[A⁻] = 0.159 M

Using the volume, we can calculate the moles of each substance:

moles of acetic acid = 0.091 M * 2 L = 0.182 moles
moles of sodium acetate = 0.159 M * 2 L = 0.318 moles

Using the molecular weight, we can calculate the grams of each substance:

grams of acetic acid = 0.182 mol * 60.05 g/mol = 10.93 g
grams of sodium acetate = 0.318 mol * 82.03 g/mol = 26.08 g

Rank the following substances in order from most soluble in water to least soluble in water: methane, CH4; 2-butanol, C4H9OH; ma

Taya2010 [7]

Answer: The given substances are placed in order from most soluble in water to least soluble in water as follows.

$MgCl_{2}$ > $C_{4}H_{9}OH$ > $C_{3}H_{8}$ > $CH_{4}$

Explanation:

It is known that like dissolves like which means a polar compound will be soluble in a polar solvent. And, a non-polar compound will be soluble in non-polar solvent.

Ionic compounds are soluble in polar solvent like water. For example, $MgCl_{2}$ is an ionic compound and it is readily soluble in water.

2-butanol ( $C_{4}H_{9}OH$ ) is also a polar compound and it will also dissolve in water but to a lesser extent as compared to magnesium chloride.

Whereas both methane and propane are non-polar in nature. But as propane is larger in size as compared to methane so, it will be slightly more soluble in water as compared to methane.

Thus, we can conclude that the given substances are placed in order from most soluble in water to least soluble in water as follows.

$MgCl_{2}$ > $C_{4}H_{9}OH$ > $C_{3}H_{8}$ > $CH_{4}$

Which is an example of Temporal Isolation?

kati45 [8]

Answer:

A. Flowers that bloom in different months

Explanation:

Nature has a way of preventive the interbreeding of closely related species and temporal isolation is one of them. When species reproduce at a different time there is little chance of hybridization (intermixing) between two related species. Since this process occurs before the mating it is also termed as pre-mating isolation.
