Chemistry

(1) O2  Is a Nonelectrolyte: because it does not ionize when dissolved in a solution

(2) Xe Is a Nonelectrolyte: because it does not ionize when dissolved in a solution

(3) C3H8 Is a Nonelectrolyte: because it does not ionize when dissolved in a solution

(4) KNO3 Is an electrolyte: because it ionizes when dissolved in a solution

Electrolytes:

Electrolytes are the substance whose aqueous solution conducts electricity. These are mainly two types:

1. Strong electrolytes

2. Weak electrolytes:

Strong electrolytes:

Strong electrolytes have following properties:

1. They are ionic compounds.

2. They are completely separates into their ions when dissolved in water.

3. In solution form they conduct electricity due to present of ions but in solid form means neutral molecule does not conduct electricity.

Weak electrolytes:

Weak electrolytes are partially ionizes in water.

In general strong electrolytes are strong acid  and  strong base while weak electrolytes are weak acid and weak bases.

Nonelectrolyte:  

The substance which does not ionize when dissolved in a solution is called non-electrolyte. It is a  poor conductor of electricity.

KNO3 is an electrolyte. The reason being it has low vapor pressure than water(at same temperature). All strong acids, strong bases and salts which are highly soluble make strong electrolytes. Hope it helps.

How much heat is absorbed when 90.5 g of ice is heated from -11.0 °C to 145.0 °C?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Q(total) = 283Kj

Explanation:

5 Heat Transitions …

Specific Heats => c(s) = 0.50cal/g∙⁰C,  c(l) = 1.0 cal/g∙⁰C, c(g) = 0.48 cal/g∙⁰C

Phase Transition Constants => ΔHᵪ = Heat of Fusion = 80 cal/g; ΔHᵥ = Heat of Vaporization = 540cal/g

Note => Phase change regions => no temp. change occurs when 2 phases are in contact (melting and evaporation). Only when single phase substance exists (s, l or g) does temperature change occur. See heating curve for water diagram. The increasing slopes are temperature change regions and heat flow is given by Q =mcΔT. The horizontal slopes are phase changes ( melting & evaporation) and heat flow for each of those regions is given by Q = m·ΔH. Each transition energy is calculated individually (see below) and added to obtain the total heat flow needed.

Q = mcΔT for temperature change regions of the heating curve (single phase only)

Q = m∙ΔH for phase transition regions of the heating curve (2 phases in contact)

Solid (ice) => Melting Pt  => Q(s) = mcΔT = (90.5g)(0.50cal/g∙⁰C)(11⁰C) = 478 cal

Melting (s/l) => Liquid (water) =>   Q(s/l) = m∙ΔHᵪ = (90.5g)(80cal/g) = 7240 cal

Liquid (water) => Boiling Pt => Q(l) = mcΔT = (90.5g)(1.0cal/g∙⁰C)(100⁰C) = 9050 cal

Boiling (l/g) => Gas (steam) => Q(l/g) = m∙ΔHᵥ = (90.5g)(540cal/g) = 48,870 cal

Gas (steam) => Steam @ 145⁰C => Q(g = mcΔT = (90.5g)(0.48cal/g∙⁰C)(45⁰C) = 2036 cal

Total Heat Transfer (Qᵤ) = Q(s) + Q(s/l) + Q(l) + Q(l/g) + Q(g)  

                                 = 478cal +7240cal + 9050 cal + 48,870cal + 2036cal

                                 = 67,674 cal x 4.184 j/cal = 283,148 joules = 283 Kj

What are the products of the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon in excess oxygen
dangina [55]
The products for the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon in excess air is carbon dioxide and water. Any hydrocarbon when reacted with oxygen will always yield the said products. Incomplete combustion, on the other hand, yields carbon monoxide and water.

Green light has a wavelength of 550nm. What is the frequency of a photon of green light?
Vikki [24]

Answer:- Frequency is 5.4*10^1^4Hz .

Solution:- frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other and the equation used is:

\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }

where, \nu is frequency, c is speed of light and \lambda is the wavelength.

Speed of light is 3.0*10^8m/s .

We need to convert the wavelength from nm to m.

( 1nm=10^-^9m )

550nm(\frac{10^-^9m}{1nm})

= 5.5*10^-^7m

Now, let's plug in the values in the equation to calculate the frequency:

\nu =\frac{3.0*10^8m.s^-^1}{5.5*10^-^7m}

= 5.4*10^1^4s^-^1 or 5.4*10^1^4Hz

since, 1s^-^1=1Hz

So, the frequency of the green light photon is 5.4*10^1^4Hz .

What is the pOH of 0.5 M KOH?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

pOH = 0.3

Explanation:

As KOH is a strong base, the molar concentration of OH⁻ is equal to the molar concentration of the solution. That means that in this case:

  • [OH⁻] = 0.5 M

With that information in mind we can<u> calculate the pOH </u>by using the following formula:

  • pOH = -log[OH⁻]
  • pOH = -log(0.5)
  • pOH = 0.3
