In order to determine the increase in boiling point of a solvent due to the presence of a solute, we use the formula:
ΔT = Kb * m * i
Here, Kb is a property of the solvent, so remains constant regardless of the solute. Moreover, because the concentration m has been fixed, this will also not be considered. In order to determine which solute will have the greatest effect, we must check i, the van't Hoff factor.
Simply stated, i is the number of ions that a substance produces when dissolved. Therefore, the solute producing the most ions will be the one causing the greatest change in boiling point temperature.
Answer:
His map of the ocean floor did not support his theory
Explanation:
- Alfred Wegner was a great scientist
- He observed the plate tectonics of earth and described it in a theory.
- It was dismissed after viewing his ocean floor
Answer:
0.4 M
Explanation:
Equilibrium occurs when the velocity of the formation of the products is equal to the velocity of the formation of the reactants. It can be described by the equilibrium constant, which is the multiplication of the concentration of the products elevated by their coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentration of the reactants elevated by their coefficients. So, let's do an equilibrium chart for the reaction.
Because there's no O₂ in the beginning, the NO will decompose:
N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO(g)
0.30 0 0.70 Initial
+x +x -2x Reacts (the stoichiometry is 1:1:2)
0.30+x x 0.70-2x Equilibrium
The equilibrium concentrations are the number of moles divided by the volume (0.250 L):
[N₂] = (0.30 + x)/0.250
[O₂] = x/0.25
[NO] = (0.70 - 2x)/0.250
K = [NO]²/([N₂]*[O₂])
K = 
7.70 = (0.70-2x)²/[(0.30+x)*x]
7.70 = (0.49 - 2.80x + 4x²)/(0.30x + x²)
4x² - 2.80x + 0.49 = 2.31x + 7.70x²
3.7x² + 5.11x - 0.49 = 0
Solving in a graphical calculator (or by Bhaskara's equation), x>0 and x<0.70
x = 0.09 mol
Thus,
[O₂] = 0.09/0.250 = 0.36 M ≅ 0.4 M

Explanation:
(a) The handspan is the distance between the tip of the thumb and tip of the little finger when the hand is fully stretched.
b) It is impossible for them to obtain an accurate result by the use of a handspan because it doesn't use any standard unit for measurement. It is entirely subjective and highly prone to human errors.
c) Anupam is quite intelligent and active
