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

Explain how the hydrogen ion concentration gradient is generated
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Once three protons have entered the matrix space, there is enough energy in the ATP synthase complex to synthesize one ATP. In this way, the energy in the hydrogen ion gradient is used to make ATP. ... The mitochondrial hydrogen ion gradient is generated as electrons pass through three membrane complexes.

How many liters is 1.9 mol of Cl2 at STP?
Lena [83]

Answer:

V = 42.6 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Cl₂ = 1.9 mol

Temperature and pressure = standard

Volume occupy = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

By putting values,

1 atm ×  V = 1.9 mol ×0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 273.15 k

V = 42.6  atm.L / 1 atm

V = 42.6 L

The term "conservation of energy" means that the total amount of energy in a system isolated from the rest of the universe remai
il63 [147K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

<u>The first law of thermodynamics</u> establishes a relationship between the internal energy of the system and the energy that it exchanges with the environment in the form of heat or work.

The first law of thermodynamics determines that the internal energy of a system increases when heat is transferred or work is done on it.

Like all the principles of thermodynamics, the first principle is based on systems in equilibrium.

On the other hand, it is likely that you have heard more than once that energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed. It is the general principle of energy conservation. Well, the first law of thermodynamics is the application to thermal processes of this principle.

The universe as a whole could be considered an isolated system, and therefore its total energy remains constant.
