Answer:

A liquid with a sharp contact angle (e.g., water on glass) will form a concave meniscus, and the liquid pressure under the meniscus will be smaller than the atmospheric pressure

Explanation:

The phenomenon of capillarity is produced by the action of the surface tension of the fluids and is observed when a small diameter tube is immersed within the fluid. If we pay attention to the result, we can see that, depending on the fluid, two different things can happen, that the liquid rises through the tube and that the level inside the tube is greater than that of the liquid or that the opposite happens.

The case in which the liquid rises above the tube occurs when the liquid "wets". This occurs when the adhesion forces with the walls exceed those of cohesion between the fluid molecules. In this case, the concave side is out of the fluid.

The case where the level of the liquid inside the tube is lower than the level of the liquid occurs when the liquid does not get wet. We remember that the liquid does not get wet when the cohesion forces are greater than those of adhesion. This phenomenon is called capillary depression and the concave angle is for the liquid side and is said to be convex.

A student mixes 33.0 mL of 2.70 M Pb ( NO 3 ) 2 ( aq ) with 20.0 mL of 0.00157 M NaI ( aq ) . How many moles of PbI 2 ( s ) prec

GalinKa [24]

Answer: The moles of precipitate (lead (II) iodide) produced is $1.57\times 10^{-5}$ moles

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ .....(1)

For lead (II) nitrate:

Molarity of lead (II) nitrate solution = 2.70 M

Volume of solution = 33.0 mL = 0.033 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$2.70M=\frac{\text{Moles of lead (II) nitrate}}{0.033L}\\\\\text{Moles of lead (II) nitrate}=(2.70mol/L\times 0.0330L)=0.0891mol$

For NaI:

Molarity of NaI solution = 0.00157 M

Volume of solution = 20.0 mL = 0.020 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.00157M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaI}}{0.020L}\\\\\text{Moles of NaI}=(0.00157mol/L\times 0.0200L)=3.14\times 10^{-5}mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Pb(NO_3)_2(aq.)+2NaI(aq.)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaI reacts with 1 mole of lead (II) nitrate

So, $3.14\times 10^{-5}$ moles of NaI will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 3.14\times 10^{-5}=1.57\times 10^{-5}mol$ of lead (II) nitrate

As, given amount of lead (II) nitrate is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, NaI is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaI produces 1 mole of lead (II) iodide

So, $3.14\times 10^{-5}$ moles of NaI will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 3.14\times 10^{-5}=1.57\times 10^{-5}moles$ of lead (II) iodide

Hence, the moles of precipitate (lead (II) iodide) produced is $1.57\times 10^{-5}$ moles
