The common laboratory solvent ethanol is often used to purify substances dissolved in it. The vapor pressure of ethanol , CH3CH2

OH, is 54.68 mm Hg at 25 °C. In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 32.83 grams of the compound were dissolved in 286.8 grams of ethanol, the vapor pressure of the solution was 53.15 mm Hg. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte. What is the molecular weight of this compound? ethanol = CH3CH2OH = 46.07 g/mol.

Answer:

Molar mass of solute is 183.4g/mol

Explanation:

Using Raoult's law it is possible to find moles of solute, thus:

P_{solution} = X_{solvent}P_{solvent}^0

Where pressure of solution is 53.15 mmHg, pressure of pure solvent is 54.68 mmHg and mole fraction is:

53.15 mmHg = X 54.68 mmHg

<em>0.9720 = X</em>

<em />

Mole fraction of solvent is defined as moles of solvent / total moles.

Moles of solvent are:

286.8g × (1mol / 46.07g) = 6.225 moles of ethanol.

That is:

0.9720 = \frac{6.225mol}{Y+6.225mol}

<em>Where Y are moles of solute.</em>

6.051 + 0.9720Y = 6.225

0.9720Y = 0.174

Y = 0.179 moles of solute

As mass of solute dissolved was 32.83g. Molar mass of solute is:

32.83g / 0.179mol = <em>183.4g/mol</em>

Allushta [10]

Answer: Yes, HCl is a strong acid.

acid = HCl , conjugate base = Cl^- , base = H_2O, conjugate acid = H_3O^+

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

Yes HCl is a strong acid as it completely dissociates in water to give H^+ ions.

HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^-

For the given chemical equation:

HCl+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^-+Cl^-

Here, HCl is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms Cl^- which is a conjugate base.

And, H_2O is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms H_3O^+ which is a conjugate acid.

Thus acid =  HCl

conjugate base = Cl^-

base = H_2O

conjugate acid = H_3O^+.

What is a substance consisting of two or more elements?
bixtya [17]
When two distinct elements are chemically combined—i.e., chemical bonds form between their atoms—the result is called a chemical compound<span>. Most elements on Earth bond with other elements to form chemical compounds, such as sodium (Na) and Chloride (Cl), which combine to form table salt (NaCl).

Hope this helps.</span>

Which description best characterizes the motion of particles in a solid
bixtya [17]
<span>The movement of particles within a solid is extremely slow when compared to that of a gas. It is also significantly slower in movement than that of the movement found within the particles of liquid. The more movement present and the faster the movement of the particles the more space will be present between each particle. This causes the material to spread out as they become less densely packed within a solid material.</span>

What was the significance of Thompson’s Plum Pudding model of the atom?
Pani-rosa [81]

The Plum Pudding Model is a model of atomic structure proposed by J.J. Thomson in the late 19th century. Thomson had discovered that atoms are composite objects, made of pieces with positive and negative charge, and that the negatively charged electrons within the atom were very small compared to the entire atom.
