Answer:

Option d. increasing the amount of water has no effect of the boiling point of water.

Explanation:

The boiling point is defined as the tempearature at which the vapor pressure of a substance equals the atmospheric pressure.

The vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by the vapor particles above the liquid in a sealed container.

In order to a liquid boil, the particles must have enough kinetic energy to escape from the tliquid to the gas (vapor) phase. With that we can approach the choices:

a. Increasing the air pressure above the lquid.

Incorrect choice.

If the air pressure above the liquids is increased, then the liquid particles will need more energy to escape, which means that this change has a considerable effect on increasing the boiling point.

b. Adding alcohol to the water.

Incorrect choice.

The alcohol added to the water is a solute. Some of the particles of the alcohol added will ocuppy part of the surface of liquid, reducing the number of particles of water that can escape from the liquid phase to the gas state. This reduces the vapor pressure and cause that the boiling point increase. Then, adding alcohol to the water does has an effect on the boiling point (the boiling point will increase).

c. Adding sodium chloride to the water.

Incorrect choice.

As in the case of adding alcohol, sodium chloride is a solute. Thus, the same analysis drives the condlusion that adding sodium chloride to the water does has an effect on the boiling point (the boiling point will increase).

d. Increasing the amount of water.

Correct choice.

The boiling point is a specific property of the substance: it does not depend on the amount of substance. Then, increasing the amount of water will not affect the boiling point.

3.68 liters First, determine the number of moles of butane you have. Start with the atomic weights of the involved elements: Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass butane = 4*12.0107 + 10*1.00794 = 58.1222 g/mol Moles butane = 2.20 g / 58.1222 g/mol = 0.037851286 Looking at the balanced equation for the reaction which is 2 C4H10(g)+13 O2(g)â†’8 CO2(g)+10 H2O(l) It indicates that for every 2 moles of butane used, 8 moles of carbon dioxide is produced. Simplified, for each mole of butane, 4 moles of CO2 are produced. So let's calculate how many moles of CO2 we have: 0.037851286 mol * 4 = 0.151405143 mol The ideal gas law is PV = nRT where P = Pressure V = Volume n = number of moles R = Ideal gas constant ( 0.082057338 L*atm/(K*mol) ) T = absolute temperature (23C + 273.15K = 296.15K) So let's solve the formula for V and the calculate using known values: PV = nRT V = nRT/P V = (0.151405143 mol) (0.082057338 L*atm/(K*mol))(296.15K)/(1 atm) V = (3.679338871 L*atm)/(1 atm) V = 3.679338871 L So the volume of CO2 produced will occupy 3.68 liters.
