Menthol is a crystalline substance with a peppermint taste and odor. When 1.48 g of menthol is dissolved in 25.0 g of cyclohexan

e, the freezing point of the solution is lowered by 7.90 °C. The freezing point and Kf constant for cyclohexane can be found here. Calculate the molar mass of menthol.

Answer:

Molar mass of menthol is 155.86 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's apply the colligative property of freezing point depression:

ΔT = Kf . m . i

As menthol is an organic compound we assume the i (Van't Hoff factor as non electrolytic, so i = 1)

m = mol /kg (molality)

Kf = Cryoscopic constant, in this case, for cyclohexane

ΔT = T° freezing of pure solvent - T° freezing solution

7.90°C = 20.8°C / m . m . 1

7.90°C / 20.8 m/°C = m

0.380 m = molality

0.380 moles are the moles of solute (menthol) dissolved in 1kg of solvent, but our mass of solvent is 25 g.

Let's convert the g of solvent to kg to work with molality

25 g = 0.025 kg

molal . solvent mass = moles of solute

0.380 mol /kg . 0.025kg = 9.49×10⁻³ moles

Now, we have the moles and the mass of solute. Let's determine the molar mass of menthol (grams / moles)

1.48 g / 9.49×10⁻³ m = 155.86 g/m

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does the following isotope contain?<br> 27 A13+
Lapatulllka [165]

Hey there!

27 tells us the sum of protons and neutrons is 27.

Al tells us we have 13 protons.

3+ tells us that there are 3 less electrons than protons.

13 + n = 27

neutrons = 14

13 - 3 = 10 electrons

27Al3+ has 13 protons, 14 neutrons, and 10 electrons.

Hope this helps!

What refers to the attractive forces that exist between molecules?​
CaHeK987 [17]
Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions ). These forces are weak compared to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.

Neap tides, relatively weak tides, occur when the Moon is in position(s)
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

D) B and D.  Weak tides, called neap tides, are experienced in the Earth's oceans when the sun is in positions B or D. In this case, the sun and moon interfere with each other in producing tidal bulges on Earth.  It is definitely not the other answer since I got it right on USATESTPREP.
