The procedure for testing your unknown solution in this week's lab is identical to the procedure which you conducted in Week 1.

The only difference is, of course, your Unknown Solution may or may not contain all of the ions which you tested for in Week 1. With that being said, please consider the following scenario: You enter the lab and obtain an Unknown Solution from the Stockroom. You begin testing the solution through the steps outlined in the flowchart on p. 9 of the Exp 22 document. You first add HCl, and centrifuge your mixture. You observe the formation of a white precipitate in the bottom of the test tube. After pouring off the supernatant liquid, you add hot water to the white precipitate. Upon addition of the hot water, you still have some white precipitate in the bottom of the test tube. You add ammonia, NH3, to the test tube and observe the formation of a gray-black precipitate. Which of the following is the best conclusion to draw at this point
A. The unknown solution definitely has Ag+ present.
B. The unknown solution could have Agt present, or Hg22+ present, or BOTH.
C. The unknown solution definitely has Hg22+ present.
D.The Unknown Solution definitely has Pb2+ present.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. The unknown solution definitely has Hg22+ present.

Explanation:

In the analysis of group 1 metal cation, the unknown solution is treated with sufficient quantity of 6 M HCl solution and if group 1 metal cations are present then white precipitate of Agcl, PbCl2 or Hg2Cl2 is formed. The precipitate of PbCl2 is soluble in hot water but the other two remains insoluble after treating with hot water. Precipitate of AgCl disappears upon treatment of NH3 solution but Hg2Cl2 becomes black in the reaction with NH3. The black Colour appears due to the formation of metallic Hg.

Balanced chemical equation of the reation is -

Hg2Cl2 + 2NH3  ---------> HgNH2Cl (white ppt.) + Hg (black ppt.) + NH4Cl

Therefore, from the given information the conclusion which can be drawn is that the unknown solution definitely has Hg22+ present.

Chloroform, formerly used as an anaesthetic and now believed to be a carcinogen, has a heat of vaporization ΔHvaporization = 31.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Chloroform is expected to boil at 333 K (60 ^{0}\textrm{C}).

Explanation:

For liquid-vapor equilibrium at 1 atm, \Delta G^{0} = 0.

We know, \Delta G^{0}=\Delta H^{0}-T\Delta S^{0} , where T is temperature in kelvin scale.

Here both \Delta H^{0} and \Delta S^{0} are corresponding to vaporization process therefore T represents boiling point of chloroform.

So, 0=(31.4\times 10^{3}\frac{J}{mol})-[T\times (94.2\frac{J}{mol.K})]

or, T = 333 K

So, at 333 K (60 ^{0}\textrm{C}) , chloroform is expected to boil.

A mixture of sodium bicarbonate and ammonium bicarbonate is 75.9% bicarbonate by mass. what is the mass percent of sodium bicarb
Lorico [155]
Answer: 24.1%,  under below assumptions.

Justification:

The question is quite ambiguous, because one of the data is not clearly stated. It says that the mixture consists on two compounds:

- sodium bicarbonate, and
- ammonium bicarbonate

.After, it says that it is 75.9 % bicarbonate, but it does not specify which bicarbonate, it might be the sodium bicarbonate or the ammonium bicarbonate. It is apparent that you omitted that information by error.

Given that later, the question is <span>what the mass percent of sodium bicarbonate is in the mixture, it is supposed that the 75.9% content is of ammonium bicarbonate.

With that said, you can calculate the mass percent of sodium bicarbonate, because there are only two compounds and so you know that both add up the 100% of the mixture.

In formulas:

100% = %m/m sodium bicarbonate + %m/m ammonium bicarbonate = 100%

=> % m/m sodium bicarbonate = 100% - % m/s ammonium bicarbonate

=> % sodium bicarbonate = 100% - 75.9% = 24.1%

Answer: 24.1%

Millikan's oil-drop experiment A. established the charge on an electron. B. showed that all oil drops carried the same charge. C
kumpel [21]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

This popular experiment enabled us to know the charge of an electron. It was performed by Robert Millikan and Harvey Fletcher and have the process and procedure to measure the elementary electronic charge. In fact, Robert Millikan was awarded the Nobel prize in physics in the year 1923 for how efforts.

They were able to determine the charge by repeating the experiment for several droplets and later proposed that the charges were integer multiples of a particular base value.
