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>

Trans fats: Think about how the prefix trans- is used in naming alkenes.
wel
In an alkene, cis and trans isomers are possible because the double band is rigid, cannot rotate, has groups attached to the carbons of the double bond that are fixed relative to each other, and only occurs with double bonds-possibility that molecule will have different geometries; two different molecules with slightly different properties. 
-Trans-2 ends of chain across the double bond.
While naming Cis-Trans isomers the prefix cis or trans are placed in front of the alkene name when there are cis-trans isomers.

How many grams of oxygen gas (02) are needed to completely react with 9.30 moles
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

223 g O₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of oxygen gas needed, you need to (1) convert moles Al to moles O₂ (via the mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients) and then (2) convert moles O₂ to grams O₂ (via the molar mass). When writing your ratios/conversions, the desired unit should be in the numerator in order to allow for the cancellation of the previous unit. The final answer should have 3 sig figs because the given value (9.30 moles) has 3 sig figs.

4 Al + 3 O₂ ----> 2 Al₂O₃
^         ^

Molar Mass (O₂): 32.0 g/mol

9.3 moles Al          3 moles O₂              32.0 g
-------------------  x  ---------------------  x  --------------------  =  223 g O₂
                              4 moles Al               1 mole

The PH of a solution of Hcl is 2.find out the amount of acid present in a litre of the solution ​
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The solution is 10^-2 or 0.01M in HCl.

Explanation:

meaning of pH is "power of hydrogen".

what is the molar concentration of a HCl solution with pH=2?

Let say pH=2

[H+]=10^-2M

HCL is a strong acid that dissociates completely:

[H+]=[HCL]

Therefore solution is 10^-2 or 0.01M in HCL.

Why is peer review an Important part of the scientific process
guajiro [1.7K]
Peer review involves subjecting the author's scholarly work and research to the scrutiny of other experts in the same field to check its validity and evaluate its suitability for publication. A peer review helps the publisher decide whether a work should be accepted.

You have 8 moles of a gas at 250 K in a 6 L container. What is the pressure of the gas? Show your work
Bogdan [553]

Hello:

In this case, we will use the Clapeyron equation:

P = ?

n = 8 moles

T = 250 K

R = 0.082 atm.L/mol.K

V = 6 L

Therefore:

P * V = n *  R * T

P * 6 = 8 * 0.082* 250

P* 6 = 164

P = 164 / 6

P = 27.33 atm


Hope that helps!
