i'd go for universal indicator, bromothymol blue and methyl red

i mean, they have the degrees of acidity (specific color changes)

they have wider ranges of color changes which will lead to the strength of acid

you will know the degree of acidity of the cosmetics

in fact, bromothymol blue is used to detect the slightest level of acid or base in a substance

universal indicator has the pH charts; the range is big so that you can measure the level of acidity effectively

methyl red is sensitive too as the other two mentioned earlier

the other way that's not included in your choices is the pH meter

unlike litmus papers which just have 2 results; either red or blue

phenolphthalein only colorless, pale pink

you won't know the degree of acidity

hope that helps

The osmotic pressure of a solution containing 2.04 g of an unknown compound dissolved in 175.0 mLof solution at 25 ∘C is 2.13 at

kherson [118]

Answer: The molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_{10}O_4$

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

Or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 2.13 atm

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Given mass of compound = 2.04 g

Volume of solution = 175.0 mL

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273+25]=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$2.13atm=1\times \frac{2.04\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of compound}\times 175.0}\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\\text{Molar mass of compound}=\frac{1\times 2.04\times 1000\times 0.0821\times 298}{2.13\times 175.0}=133.9g/mol$

Calculating the molecular formula:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=36.26g$

Mass of $H_2O=14.85g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 36.26 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 36.26=9.89g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 14.85 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 14.85=1.65g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (22.08) - (9.89 + 1.65) = 10.54 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{9.89g}{12g/mole}=0.824moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.65g}{1g/mole}=1.65moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{10.54g}{16g/mole}=0.659moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.659 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.824}{0.659}=1.25\approx 1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.65}{0.659}=2.5$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.659}{0.659}=1$

Converting the mole fraction into whole number by multiplying the mole fraction by '2'

Mole fraction of carbon = (1 × 2) = 2

Mole fraction of oxygen = (2.5 × 2) = 5

Mole fraction of hydrogen = (1 × 2) = 2

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 2 : 5 : 2

The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_2H_5O_2$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 133.9 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 61 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{133.9g/mol}{61g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(2\times 2)}H_{(5\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_4H_{10}O_4$

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_{10}O_4$

An isopropyl solution contains 70 ml of isopropyl alcohol in 1.8 L of water. What is the percent by volume of the alcohol

xenn [34]

Answer:

3.74%

Explanation:

We express a solution's volume by volume percent concentration, % v/v,

Take the ratio of the isopropyl alcohol (IPA) volume to the total volume of the solution, which is 1800 mL of water+ 70 mL of IPA,

and multiply by 100 to get the percentage: 70/(1800+70) *100 = 0.0374*100 = 3.74%

what is the differential rate expression of the change in B with time? Incorporate elements that describe both its formation and

Ivanshal [37]

The differential rate expression for the rate of change in the concentration of B with time is
-rB = dCB/dt = kCB^n
where k is the rate constant and
n is the order of the reaction
This is assuming that the rate is only affected by the concentration of B and the order of the reaction is in the nth order.
