Determine which compound would raise the boiling point of water the most

1 answer:

8 0

All of the provided salts will increase the boiling point of water due to Boiling point elevation is considered as one of the colligative properties that only affected by the number of particles present in solution regardless their nature.

All of the choices are considered as electrolytes (ionizes in water) so the one which gives higher number of ions will raise the boiling point the most so the correct answer is A) AlCl₃ due to it ionizes to give 4 ions one Al and 3 Cl while NaCl gives only 2 ions, CaCl₂ gives 3 ions and KBr gives 2 ions

So the correct answer is A) 2.0 M AlCl₃

In the laboratory, hydrogen gas is usually made by the following reaction: Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) How many liters

IrinaK [193]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of hydrogen gas collected over water is 2.13 L

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of zinc = 5.566 g

Molar mass of zinc = 65.4 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of zinc}=\frac{5.566g}{65.4g/mol}=0.0851mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Zn(s)+2HCl(aq.)\rightarrow H_2(g)+ZnCl_2(aq.)$

As, HCl is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Zinc is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of zinc produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

So, 0.0851 moles of zinc will produce = $\frac{1}[1}\times 0.0851=0.0851mol$ of hydrogen gas

To calculate the volume of hydrogen gas, we use ideal gas equation, which is:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of hydrogen gas = Total atmospheric pressure - vapor pressure of water = (752 - 18.65) mmHg = 733.35 mmHg

V = Volume of the hydrogen gas

n = number of moles of gas = 0.0851 moles

R = Gas constant = $62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of hydrogen gas = $21^oC=[21+273]K=294K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$733.35mmHg\times V=0.0851mol\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 294K\\\\V=\frac{0.0851\times 62.3637\times 294}{733.35}=2.13L$

Hence, the volume of hydrogen gas collected over water is 2.13 L

Why is the law of conservation of mass law and not a theory?

Elodia [21]

Answer:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.

Which of the following naturally orccuing radioisotopes would be most useful in dating objects

Sergeu [11.5K]

Potassium -40half life = 1.28 ×10∧9.
Radioisotope can be used to determine the age of fossils, to treat skin disease, to sterilize foodstuffs, and also to sterilize surgical instruments.
Radioisotope dating is a way to estimate a fossil's age by a method of analyzing the elemental isotopes which are within the rocks which it is in.

How can nuclear energy be converted in electrical energy

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

A clean energy resource

Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms – a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions.
