Fractional distillation

Explanation:

The best way to separate the mixtures out is through the process of fractional distillation.

In fractional distillation, liquid - liquid mixtures are separated based on the differences in boiling point of their components. Let us examine the boiling points of the component of the mixtures:  

     Ethanol                  78⁰C

     Glycerol                290⁰C

     Ethylene glycol     197.6⁰C

     Methanol               64.7⁰C

     Water                     100⁰C

We see that the liquids in the mixture have different boiling points. In this process, the mixture is heated in a distillation column. When the boiling point of any component is reached, it will rise up in the column and can be channeled to a condenser where it is cooled and collected.

The liquid with the least boiling point is first separated with the one with the highest boiling is recovered last:

   Order of recovery;

               Methanol               64.7⁰C

               Ethanol                  78⁰C

                Water                    100⁰C

               Ethylene glycol     197.6⁰C

                Glycerol                290⁰C

Question
madam [21]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 2.09899 J/g℃.

Explanation:

Given,

For Metal sample,

mass = 13 grams

T = 73°C

For Water sample,

mass = 60 grams

T = 22°C.

When the metal sample and water sample are mixed,

The addition of metal increases the temperature of the water, as the metal is at higher temperature, and the  addition of water decreases the temperature of metal. Therefore, heat lost by metal is equal to the heat gained by water.

Since, heat lost by metal is equal to the heat gained by water,

Qlost = Qgain

However,

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

(mass) (ΔT) (Cp) = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

After mixing both samples, their temperature changes to 27°C.

It implies that , water sample temperature changed from  22°C to 27°C and metal sample temperature changed from 73°C to 27°C.

Since, Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Let Cp be the specific heat of the metal.

Substituting values,

(13)(73°C - 27°C)(Cp) = (60)(27°C - 22℃)(4.184)

By solving, we get Cp =

Therefore, specific heat of the metal sample is 2.09899 J/g℃.

A mixture of three gases has a total pressure of 365 mmHg. Gas A contributes a pressure of 53 mmHg and gas B contributes a press
adoni [48]
This one is the easiest law, but you would take 53 and 185 and add them together to get 235 and then you will minus 235 and 365 and the answer you are looking for is 130 mmHg! Hopefully this helped you!!

Explain where the water that collects on the outside of a cold drink on a hot day comes from.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

It is because water molecules in the air condensed on to the container of the drink.

Explanation:

The way this works is the water molecules outside are hot and in the gas state, so when they come into contact with the cold side of the container they lose energy due to heat transfer between the molecules and the container, becoming a liquid on the side of the drink.

The rate constant k for a certain reaction is measured at two different temperatures:
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Ea=5.5 Kcal/mole

Explanation:

Let rate constant are K_1  and K_2  at temperature T_1  and T_2

By using Arrhenius equation at two different two different temperature,

Log K_1/K_2 =E_a/2.303R*(1/T_2 -1/T_2 );T_1=273+376=649K  ;K_1=4.8*10^8;T_2=273+280=553K  ;K_2=2.3*10^8;R=2 cal/(mole.K);Log (4.8*10^8)/(2.3*10^8 )=E_a/2.303R*(1/553K-1/649); Log 4.8/2.3=E_a/2.303R*96/358897 ;0.32=E_a/2.303R*96/358897;E_a=(0.32*2.303R*358897)/96;  

By putting value of R=2 cal/mole.K

E_a=5510.265cal/mole;

By rounding off upto 2 significant figure;

E_a=5.5Kcal/mole;
