How would the freezing point of seawater compare with that of pure water?

2 answers:

6 0

Freezing Point of Sea water would be lower than that of Pure Water. It is because of salinity of the water

Hope this helps!

The freezing point of pure water is 32° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius). Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than pure water (about 28.4° F and -1.9 C) for the same reason we sprinkle salt on ice in the winter, it lowers the freezing point.

When 0.42 g of a compound containing C, H, and O is burned completely, the products are 1.03 g CO2 and 0.14 g H2O. The molecular

Luda [366]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_2O_4$ and $C_6H_4O_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon 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 $CO_2=1.03g$

Mass of $H_2O=0.14g$

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

So, in 1.03 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 1.03=0.28g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

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

So, in 0.14 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.14=0.016g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.42) - (0.28 + 0.016) = 0.124 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.28g}{12g/mole}=0.023moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.016g}{1g/mole}=0.016moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.124g}{16g/mole}=0.00775moles$

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 0.00775 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.023}{0.00775}=2.96\approx 3$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.016}{0.00775}=2.06\approx 2$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.00775}{0.00775}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_{2}O_1=C_3H_2O$

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 = 108.10 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 54 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{108.10g/mol}{54g/mol}=2$

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

$C_{(3\times 2)}H_{(2\times 2)}O_{(1\times 2)}=C_6H_4O_2$

Thus, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_3H_2O$ and $C_6H_4O_2$

The ____ connects the left and right sides of the cerebrum

Fofino [41]

Answer:

The left and right hemispheres of the cerebrum are connected by the Corpus Collosum.

Explanation:

The corpus collosum is a thick band of neurons that divides the cerebral cortex lobes into the left and right hemisphere. The corpus callosum allows for both hemispheres to communicate and transfer information! The primary function of the corpus callosum is to integrate sensory, motor, and cognitive performance between the cerebral cortex.

Ins severe cases of epileptic seizures, a corpus callosotomy is performed, which cuts the corpus callosum in half. This prevents the seizures from becoming more severe, and the brain can reprogram, through neuroplasticity.
