Answer:

The molar mass of lauryl alcohol is approximately 180 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of lauryl alcohol = 8.80 grams

Mass of benzene = 0.100 kg = 100 grams

Freezing point of Benzene is 5.5 °C

Kf value for benzene = 5.12 °C/molal

Step 2: Calculate the freezing point depression

ΔTf = 5.5 - 3.0 °C = 2.5 °C

Step 3: Calculate molality

⇒ with ΔTf = the freezing point depression = 2.5 °C

⇒ with i = the van't Hoff factor = 1

⇒ with kf = the free point depression constat pf benzene = 5.12°C/m

⇒ with m =the molality = TO BE DETERMINED

molality = ΔTf / kf

molality = 2.5 °C / 5.12 °C /m

molality =  0.488 molal

Step 4: Calculate moles lauryl alcohol

Molality = moles lauryl alcohol / mass benzene

Moles lauryl alcohol = molality * mass benzene

Moles lauryl alcohol = 0.488 m * 0.100 kg

Moles lauryl alcohol = 0.0488 moles

Step 5: Calculate molar mass of lauryl alcohol

Molar mass lauryl alcohol = mass lauryl alcohol/ moles lauryl alcohol

Molar mass lauryl alcohol = 8.80 grams / 0.0488 moles

Molar mass lauryl alcohol = 180 g/mol

The molar mass of lauryl alcohol is approximately 180 g/mol

How does the tilt of earth <br>affect the climate?
masha68 [24]
The tilt of the earth provides the earth with seasons. As the earth revolved around the sun different portions (northern or Southern Hemisphere) is exposed more directly to the suns radiation, thus it is hotter in those regions. (Why the United States experiences winter in December but Australia experience summer in December.)

Rank the following in terms of decreasing miscibility in C₈H₁₈ (octane), a major component of gasoline:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

In order of decreasing miscibility

C₉H₂₀ (nonane)→C₂H₅F (fluoroethane)→C₂H₅Cl (chloroethane)→H₂O (water)

Explanation:

The solubility of a solid is a measure of its ability to dissolve in a liquid while for liquids,  the miscibility is a measure of thhe liquid to mix with anoyjer liquid resulting in a soltion which can hold any amount of either liquids. Immiscible liquids are those that are not soluble or have very limited solibility with each other.

C₉H₂₀ (nonane)→C₂H₅F (fluoroethane)→C₂H₅Cl (chloroethane)→H₂O (water)

In the order of decreasing miscibility as like dissolve like, ability to dissociate and polar and organic characteristics are considered
