Answer:
B. Poor conductor.
Explanation:
It cannot be A, as only 1 metal is not solid at room temp.
It cannot be C, as most metals are ductile.
It cannot be D, as most metals are malleable.
This leaves B, which is not true about metals, as a lot are very good conductors.
Answer:
Explanation:
The usefulness of a buffer is its ability to resist changes in pH when small quantities of base or acid are added to it. This ability is the consequence of having both the conjugate base and the weak acid present in solution which will consume the added base or acid.
This capacity is lost if the ratio of the concentration of conjugate base to the concentration of weak acid differ by an order of magnitude. Since buffers having ratios differing by more will have their pH driven by either the weak acid or its conjugate base .
From the Henderson-Hasselbach equation we have that
pH = pKa + log [A⁻]/[HA]
thus
0.1 ≤ [A⁻]/[HA] ≤ 10
Therefore the log of this range is -1 to 1, and the pH will have a useful range of within +/- 1 the pKa of the buffer.
Now we are equipped to answer our question:
pH range = 3.9 +/- 1 = 2.9 through 4.9
Answer:
Carbon tetrachloride would be 2.2 fold heavier than water
Explanation:
Carbon tetrachloride (2.20g/mL) is denser than water (1.00g/mL)
Answer:
molecular weight (Mb) = 0.42 g/mol
Explanation:
mass sample (solute) (wb) = 58.125 g
mass sln = 750.0 g = mass solute + mass solvent
∴ solute (b) unknown nonelectrolyte compound
∴ solvent (a): water
⇒ mb = mol solute/Kg solvent (nb/wa)
boiling point:
- ΔT = K*mb = 100.220°C ≅ 373.22 K
∴ K water = 1.86 K.Kg/mol
⇒ Mb = ? (molecular weight) (wb/nb)
⇒ mb = ΔT / K
⇒ mb = (373.22 K) / (1.86 K.Kg/mol)
⇒ mb = 200.656 mol/Kg
∴ mass solvent = 750.0 g - 58.125 g = 691.875 g = 0.692 Kg
moles solute:
⇒ nb = (200.656 mol/Kg)*(0.692 Kg) = 138.83 mol solute
molecular weight:
⇒ Mb = (58.125 g)/(138.83 mol) = 0.42 g/mol
