A student carried out a simple distillation on a compound known to boil at 124 oc and they reported a boiling point of 116-117 o

analysis of the compound showed it was pure and calibration of the thermometer indicated that it was accurate. What procedural error might the student have made in setting up the distillation?

Answer :

The correct answer is due to incorrect position of thermometer .

Distillation  is process of separating two volatile liquids on the basis of their boiling points .In involves the following set up ( shown in image )

Since the Boiling point is found   is 116-117 C which is near to 124 C , also the purity was checked and thermometer was calibrated .

So the only error could be possible is position of thermometer .

The position of  bulb of thermometer is very important to get an accurate reading of boiling point .The vapor so formed should touch the side walls of bulb as soon as they are formed .

May be  the bulb of thermometer was   kept far from the vapors formed by liquid so,  s<u>ome of  the vapor before reaching to  bulb start condensing and their Temperature decreases </u>.  

Hence , the  temperature shown by thermometer was decrease than actual boiling point  due to incorrect position of thermometer.

What is the density of an object if its mass is 10 g and a volume of 2 mL?
Lilit [14]

Hi there! Let's solve this problem shall we!

⠀Volume = 10g

      Mass = 2 mL

In this specific problem, they are asking us to find the <u><em>density </em></u>of the object. So,<u><em> using the information given to us</em></u> (volume and mass), let's solve the problem!

Now, if you remember, D = M ÷ V

So, let's fill in the blanks!

D = Our unknown value

M = 2mL

V = 10g

Here is the filled out formula:

D = M ÷ V

D = 2mL ÷ 10g

D = 5 g/mL

*Make sure you put the units for your final solution!*

Complete the following sentences:
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) In an exothermic reaction, the energy transferred to the surroundings from forming new bonds is ___more____ than the energy needed to break existing bonds.  

b) In an endothermic reaction, the energy transferred to the surroundings from forming new bonds is ___less____ than the energy needed to break existing bonds.  

c) The energy change of an exothermic reaction has a _____negative_______ sign.  

d) The energy change of an endothermic reaction has a ____positive________ sign.

The energy changes occur during the bonds formation and bonds breaking.

There are two types of reaction endothermic and exothermic reaction.

Endothermic reactions:

The type of reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bond are higher than the energy released during bond formation.

For example:

C + H₂O   →  CO  + H₂

ΔH = +131 kj/mol

it can be written as,

C +  H₂O  + 131 kj/mol  →  CO  + H₂

Exothermic reaction:

The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.

For example:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂   →  CO₂

ΔH = -393 Kj/mol

it can be written as,

C + O₂   →  CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol

You shake a can of soda and open it, which cause the pressure to decrease. what happens to the volume of the CO2. the soda​
navik [9.2K]

Answer: <em>When you take the top off of a bottle of soda, the pressure inside the bottle decreases and goes to the same pressure as the atmosphere. When that happens the carbon dioxide inside is no longer forced to be a liquid and turns back into a gas, causing the bubbles that we're so familiar with.</em>

Explanation:

However, producing foaming carbon dioxide gas by shaking a bottle of soda water is a physical change, while producing foaming carbon dioxide gas by combining baking soda and vinegar is a chemical change. ... Because no chemical bonds are broken and no new molecules are formed, this is a physical change in the system.
