You have collected a tissue specimen that you would like to preserve by freeze drying. To ensure the integrity of the specimen,

the temperature should not exceed - 5.00 o C. The vapor pressure of ice at 273.16K is 624 Pa. What is the maximum pressure at which the freeze drying can be carried out?

Answer:

The maximum pressure is 612.2 Pa

Explanation:

The pressure of the ice (P1) = 624 Pa

The temperature of the ice = 273.16 K

The maximum temperature the specimen = - 5 oC

                                                                     = -5 + 273 = 268K

The maximum Pressure the freeze drying can be will be (P2) = ?

Using Pressure law, which shows the relationship between pressure and temperature.

                        P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

                       P2 T1 = P1 T2

                       P2 = P1 T2 / T1

                       P2 = 624 × 268 / 273.16

                       P2 = 612.2 Pa

The maximum pressure at which drying can be carried out is 612.2 Pa

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Benzene: 37.5 Torr

Methylbenzene: 12.5 Torr

Explanation:

By Raoult's Law, each substance in a gas mixture contributes to the total pressure of the mixture proportionally to their respective mole fraction. So,

Ppartial = x*P°

Where x is the mole fraction (0.5 for each one because it's equimolar), and P° is the vapor pressure.

Benzene: Ppartial = 0.5 * 75 = 37.5 Torr

Methylbenzene: Ppartial = 0.5 * 25 = 12.5 Torr

What are the cations and anions whose compounds are usually soluble?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer: -

Solubility of a substance depend on the balance of intermolecular forces between the solvent and solute, and the entropy change that accompanies this process.

Temperature and pressure also plays a role in solubility.

A solution having Group 1 cations like lithium, sodium, potassium etc are always soluble.

A solution having NH₄⁺ is soluble.

All salts with anion as nitrates, acetates, chlorates, and perchlorates are soluble in water.

Metals such as iron, lead, copper, and zinc have relatively ___ specific heats. This means it takes ___ energy to chan thejr tem
ivann1987 [24]

B. Low; very little

Explanation:

Metals such as iron, lead, copper and zinc have low specific heats. This means that it takes very little energy to change their temperature.

Specific heat is the heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of substance by 1°C.

Metals have good thermal conductivity and generally have low specific heat. This implies that their temperature can easily be raised when heated.

Some substances like water have very high specific heat. This suggests that they require more heat to raise their temperature.
