When bringing water to a boil in the mountains, the time needed to reach the boiling point is?

1 answer:

8 0

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the surrounding pressure. At this temperature, liquid gets converted into vapour phase.

Now, if one goes to higher heights, i.e. mountains, pressure decreases. Since, pressure decreases the boiling point also decreases. Hence, if heating rate is same, the time needed to reach the boiling point will decrease.

Fill in the left side of this equilibrium constant equation for the reaction of benzoic acid (HC_6H_5CO_2) with water.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

[C₆H₅COO⁻][H₃O⁺]/[C₆H₅COOH] = Ka

Explanation:

The reaction of dissociation of the benzoic acid in water is given by the following equation:

C₆H₅-COOH + H₂O ⇄ C₆H₅-COO⁻ + H₃O⁺ (1)

The dissociation constant of an acid is the measure of the strength of an acid:

HA ⇄ A⁻ + H⁺ (2)

$K_{a} = \frac{[A^{-}][H^{+}]}{[HA]}$ (3)

Where the dissociation constant of the acid (Ka) is equal to the ratio of the concentration of the dissociated forms of the acid, [A⁻][H⁺], and the concentration of the acid, [HA].

So, starting from the equations (2) and (3), the constant equation for the dissociation reaction of benzoic acid in water, of the equation (1), is:

$K_{a} = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}COO^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}COOH]}$

A car traveling at a constant speed travels 175 miles in four hours. How many minutes will it take for the car to travel 1000 fe

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

It takes 0.26 minutes to travel 1000 feet

Solution:

Given that car traveling at a constant speed travels 175 miles in four hours

Distance = 175 miles

Time taken = 4 hours

Convert the units to feet and minute

Given that,

1 mile = 5280 feet

175 miles = 5280 x 175 feet = 918720 feet

Also we know that,

1 hour = 60 minutes

4 hours = 60 x 4 minutes = 240 minutes

Thus, we got,

Distance = 918720 feet

Time taken = 240 minutes

Find the speed of car

Speed is given by formula:

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$speed = \frac{918720}{240} = 3828$

Thus speed of car is 3828 feet per minute

How many minutes will it take for the car to travel 1000 feet?

Let "x" be the minutes needed for 1000 feet

speed of car is 3828 feet per minute

1 minute = 3828 feet

x minute = 1000 feet

This forms a proportion. We can solve by cross multiplying

$x \times 3828 = 1000 \times 1\\\\x = \frac{1000}{3828}\\\\x = 0.26$

Thus it takes 0.26 minutes to travel 1000 feet

A laboratory procedure calls for making 590.0 mL of a 1.1 M KNO3 solution. How much KNO3 in grams is needed?

AveGali [126]

590 mL = 590 cm³= 0,59 dm³

C = n/V
n = 1,1M × 0,59 dm³
n = 0,649 mol
_____________________________

M KNO₃ = 39g+14g+16g×3 = 101 g/mol

1 mole -------- 101g
0,649 --------- X
X = 101×0,649
X = 65,549g KNO₃

Decide which element probably forms a compound with chlorine that has a chemical formula most and least similar to the chemical

stepladder [879]

The compound formed by chlorine and barium is $BaCl_2$ as the number of valence electrons in barium is 2 and in chlorine is 1. In this compound, barium acts as a cation and chlorine acts as an anion. The formation of the compound is as shown in the image.

Since, barium is an element of Group-2 (alkaline earth metal) so the other element that has a chemical formula most and least similar to the chemical formula of the compound formed by chlorine and barium should be from Group-2 (alkaline earth metal) only which has properties somewhat like barium. So, the element is strontium.

Strontium forms a compound with formula $SrCl_2$ in which strontium acts as a cation and chlorine acts as an anion. The formation of the compound is as shown in the image.
