Suppose you have been given the task of distilling a mixture of hexane + toluene. Pure hexane has a refractive index of 1.375 an

d pure toluene has a refactive index of 1.497. You collect a distillate sample which has a refractive index of 1.406. Assuming that the refractive index of the hexane + toluene mixture varies linearly with mole fraction, what is the mole fraction of hexane in your sample

Answer:

Mole fraction of hexane in your sample is 0,746

Explanation:

Based on the information you can write the following equations:

X + Y = 1 <em>(1)</em>

Where X is mole fraction of hecane and Y is mole fraction of toluene

Also, based on the assumption that the refractive index of the hexane + toluene mixture varies linearly with mole fraction you can write:

1,375X + 1497Y = 1406 <em>(2)</em>

<em></em>

Replacing (1) in (2):

1,375X + 1,497(1-X) = 1,406

1,375X - 1,497X + 1,497 = 1,406

-0,122X = -0,091

X = -0,091/-0,122

X = 0,746

Thus, the <em>mole fraction of hexane in your sample is 0,746</em>

Also you can know the mole fraction of toluene replacing this value in (1):

0,746 - Y = 1

Y = 1-0,746

Y = 0,254

I hope it helps!

To identify a diatomic gas (X2), a researcher carried out the following experiment: She weighed an empty 4.1-L bulb, then filled
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Nitrogen, N_2\\

Explanation:

Hello,

This is a clear example of what the ideal gas equation is used for, thus, from its mathematical definition:

PV=nRT

One can spell it out in terms of mass and molar mass:

PV=\frac{m}{M}RT

Now, solving for the molecular mass, M:

M=\frac{mRT}{PV} =\frac{9.5g*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*297.15K}{2.00atm*4.1L}\\ M=28.23g/mol

Now, by taking into account that the gas is diatomic, the matching gas turns out to be nitrogen.

Best regards.

How the molecule’s properties affect the physical properties of a molecule
Lilit [14]

The intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonds or van der Waals attractions, which draw one molecule to its neighbors, govern a substance's physical properties. Due to the relatively weak intermolecular forces of attraction, molecular substances typically take the form of gases, liquids, or low melting point solids.

<h3>How do the intermolecular forces affect physical properties?</h3>

The forces that bind two molecules together are known as intermolecular forces. Intermolecular forces have an impact on physical properties. Strong and weak forces both exist; the stronger the force, the more energy is needed to separate the molecules from one another. As intermolecular forces increase melting, boiling, and freezing points rise.

The following intermolecular forces are listed in order of strength:

  • Van der Waals dispersion forces
  • Van der Waals dipole-dipole interactions
  • Hydrogen bonding
  • Ionic bonds

It would take very little energy to separate two molecules if they are connected by van der Waals dispersion forces. On the other hand, it requires a lot more energy to separate two molecules that are joined together by ionic bonds.
