Answer:

If we increase the concentration of a dissolved solute, the solution would have a vapor pressure so much low, the boiling temperature for the solution will be so high, freezing point for the solution will be so much low and the osmotic pressure will be higher.

Colligative properties always depends on dissolved particles (solute)

Explanation:

These are the colligative properties

- Vapor pressure lowering

ΔP = P° . Xm

Vapor pressure of pure solvent - Vapor pressure of solution.

If we add more solute, it would raise the Xm, so the solution would have a vapor pressure so much low.

Vapor pressure pure solvent - Vapor pressure solution ↑ = P° . Xm ↑

- Boiling point elevation

ΔT = Kb . m

When we add more solute, we are increasing the molality.

↑T° boiling of solution - T° boiling pure solvent = Kf . m ↑

Boiling temperature for the solution will be so high.

- Freezing point depression

When we add more solute, we are increasing the molality.

ΔT = Kf . m

T° fussion of pure solvent - ↓T° fussion of solution = Kf . m↑

Freezing point for the solution will be so much low.

- Osmotic pressure

π = M . R . T

When we add solute, molarity is increasing. Therefore the osmotic pressure will be higher.

π↑ = M↑ . R . T

How many liters are in 2.75 ounces? Use the conversion factor: 1 liter = 33.814 ounces Rounded to the result to 3 significant fi

Serggg [28]

1L = 33.814 oz
xL = 2.75 oz

so it's a proportion

1L / 33.814 oz = xL / 2.75

solve for x

(1/33.814) * 2.75 = 0.0813272609 on your calculator, but it's not the answer.

the number in your problem, 2.75 oz, has 3 significant figures. so you can only round this number to 3 significant figures too.

your equipment isn't accurate enough to give a reading to 10 significant figures if that makes sense. you have to give the answer in terms of the term you use with the lowest significant figures.

so with 3 significant figures,
0.0813272609 rounds to
0.0813 L

What are three ways lakes can form?

quester [9]

Just choose 3

1) Lakes can form in hollows left by meteorite impacts (e.g. Clearwater Lakes, Quebec, Canada).

2) Lakes can form in the craters formed by volcanoes (e.g. Crater Lake, Oragon)

3) Lakes can form when a river is damed by a natural rock fall or man (e.g. Lake Mede)

4) Lakes can form where glaciers have scooped out the rock from the floor of a valley (e.g. Lake Geneva)

5) Lakes can form where block faulting lowers the land (e.g. lake Baikal)

6) lakes can form in natural depressions in the land (e.g. Lake Victoria)

Determine the volume of a 0.800 M K2Cr2O7 solution required to completely react with 4.24 g of Cu.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: The volume of solution required is 0.0275 L.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of copper = 4.24 g

Molar mass of copper = 63.55 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of copper}=\frac{4.24g}{63.55g/mol}=0.067mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of potassium dichromate and copper follows:

$K_2Cr_2O_7+3Cu+7H_2SO_4\rightarrow 3CuSO_4+Cr_2(SO_4)_3+K_2SO_4+7H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of copper reacts with 1 mole of potassium dichromate.

So, 0.067 moles of copper will react with = $\frac{1}{3}\times 0.067=0.022mol$ of potassium dichromate

To calculate the volume of potassium dichromate, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

We are given:

Moles of potassium dichromate = 0.022 mol

Molarity of solution = 0.800 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.08mol/L=\frac{0.022mol}{\text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=0.0275L$

Hence, the volume of solution required is 0.0275 L.

Part 1: Use complete sentences to explain why solar storms occur.

Virty [35]

A geomagnetic storm (commonly referred to as a solar storm) is a temporary disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere caused by a solar wind shock wave and/or cloud of magnetic field that interacts with the Earth's magnetic field.

Solar flares, coronal mass ejections, high-speed solar wind, and solar energetic particles are all forms of solar activity.
