Silicon has a relatively large latent heat of vaporization of 12800 J/g. This indicates that silicon has:

1 answer:

3 0

I believe it means that it takes a lot of heat in joules to make silicon vaporize so it stays solid until a great deal of heat has been added. By comparison, water has a latent heat of about 2260 joules per gram so vaporizes much more readily than silicon.

A compound's molecular formula must always be different than the compound's empirical formula. TRUE FALSE

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Example: $CH_4$ has similar molecular formula and empirical formula as the elements are already present in simplest of the ratios.

$C_2H_2$ has molecular formula of $C_2H_2$ but $CH$ as the empirical formula.

An unknown amount of mercury (II) oxide was decomposed in the lab. Mercury metal was formed and 5.20 L of oxygen was released at

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

68.3g

Explanation:

1. Word equation:

mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen

2. Balanced molecular equation:

2HgO → 2Hg + O₂(g)

3. Mole ratio

Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:

$2molHgO/1molO_2$

4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)

Use the equation for ideal gases:

$pV=nRT\\\\\\n=\dfrac{pV}{RT}\\\\\\n=\dfrac{0.970atm\times5.20L}{0.08206atm.L/K.mol\times 390.0K}\\\\\\n=0.1576mol$

5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO

$\dfrac{2molHgO}{1molO_2}\times 0.1576molO_2=0.315molHgO$

6. Convert to mass

mass = # moles × molar mass

molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol

mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g

What is the boiling point of a solution of 76 g of water dissolved in 500 mL of acetic acid, CH3COOH?

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

127.3° C, (This is not a choice)

Explanation:

This is about the colligative property of boiling point.

ΔT = Kb . m . i

Where:

ΔT = T° boling of solution - T° boiling of pure solvent

Kb = Boiling constant

m = molal (mol/kg)

i = Van't Hoff factor (number of particles dissolved in solution)

Water is not a ionic compound, but we assume that i = 2

H₂O → H⁺ + OH⁻

T° boling of solution - 118.1°C = 0.52°C . m . 2

Mass of solvent = Solvent volume / Solvent density

Mass of solvent = 500 mL / 1.049g/mL → 476.6 g

Mol of water are mass / molar mass

76 g / 18g/m = 4.22 moles

These moles are in 476.6 g

Mol / kg = molal → 4.22 m / 0.4766 kg = 8.85 m

T° boling of solution = 0.52°C . 8.85 m . 2 + 118.1°C = 127.3°C

What is the volume of the liquid in the this diagram? Would it be 37 mL or 36.5 mL?

vivado [14]

The volume of the liquid in this diagram shown above would be equal to 36.5 mL.

<h3>What is a graduated cylinder?</h3>

A graduated cylinder is also known as measuring cylinder and it can be defined as a narrow, cylindrical piece of laboratory equipment with marked lines, which are used to measure the volume of a liquid.

In order to take a reading for the measurement of the volume of a liquid such as water, you should ensure that your eye level is even with the center of the meniscus.

In this scenario, the volume of the liquid in this diagram would be 36.5 mL because each of the small lines on the graduated cylinder measures 0.5 mL.
