Answer:

The study of the inorganic world

Explanation:

That is, it does not study living things. (Those are studied in biological, or life, science.) The four main branches of physical science are astronomy, physics, chemistry, and the Earth sciences, which include meteorology and geology.

Assuming equal concentrations and complete dissociation, rank these aqueous solutions by their freezing points. nh4cl cobr3 k2so

Illusion [34]

Answer: CoBr3 < K2SO4 < NH4 Cl

Justification:

1) The depression of the freezing point of a solution is a colligative property, which means that it depends on the number of particles of solute dissolved.

2) The formula for the depression of freezing point is:

ΔTf = i * Kf * m

Where i is the van't Hoof factor which accounts for the dissociation of the solute.

Kf is the freezing molal constant and only depends on the solvent

m is the molality (molal concentration).

3) Since, you are assuming equal concentrations and complete dissociation of the given solutes, the solute with more ions in the molecular formula will result in the solution with higher depression of the freezing point (lower freezing point).

4) These are the dissociations of the given solutes:

a) NH4 Cl (s) --> NH4(+)(aq) + Cl(-) (aq) => 1 mol --> 2 moles

b) Co Br3 (s) --> Co(3+) (aq) + 3Br(-)(aq) => 1 mol --> 4 moles

c) K2SO4 (s) --> 2K(+) (aq) + SO4 (2-) (aq) => 1 mol --> 3 moles

5) So, the rank of solutions by their freezing points is:

CoBr3 < K2SO4 < NH4 Cl

Predict how the addition of a catalyst would affect the rate of the reaction below, and explain your prediction H2 (g) + I2 (g)

Fynjy0 [20]

A catalyst is a chemical substance that hastens the chemical reaction. This does not participates in the creating the product(s) but allows it to be formed easily. With this, it is now known that the rate of the reaction becomes relatively higher compared to the uncatalyzed reactions.

Therefore, the answer to this item is the rate of the reaction becomes faster.

A 0.0000792 M sample of Compound X in a solvent has an absorbance of 0.341 at 528 nm in a 1.000-cm cuvet. The solvent alone has

natima [27]

Answer:

a) a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹

b) C = 0,000127 M

Explanation:

Lambert-Beer law says that there is a linear relationship between absorbance and concentration of a chemical substance. The formula is:

A = a×b×C

Where A is absorbance, a is molar absorptivity, b is path length and C is concentration.

a) In the problem Concentration is 0.0000792 M, b is 1,000cm and Absorbance is absorbance of sample-absorbance of blank: 0,341-0,065 = 0,276

Replacing:

0,276 = a×1,000cm×0,0000792M

a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹

b) As the experiment consist in the same compound in the same solvent, the molar absorptivity will be the same, a = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹, path length will be 1,000cm and absorbance: 0,508-0,065 = 0,443

Replacing:

0,443 = 3485 M⁻¹cm⁻¹×1,000cm×C

C = 0,000127 M

I hope it helps!

Which molecules are pure elements?

Elenna [48]

Well none since molecules are a group of two or more atoms electrically bonded with one another. However, there are gases that does not naturally bond due to their stability and can be found in nature as pure elements. But these are not considered as molecules.

(By the way, these gases are the noble gases that can be found on the last column of the periodic table)
