The common laboratory solvent chloroform is often used to purify substances dissolved in it. The vapor pressure of chloroform ,

CHCl3, is 173.11 mm Hg at 25 °C. In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 9.877 grams of the compound were dissolved in 150.9 grams of chloroform, the vapor pressure of the solution was 169.68 mm Hg. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte. What is the molecular weight of this compound? chloroform = CHCl3 = 119.40 g/mol.

Answer:

387.3 g/mol.

Explanation:

Vapor Pressure of solution, Pₛₒₗ = X × Pₛₒₗᵥ

Where,

X = mole fraction of the solvent

Pₛₒₗᵥ = pressure of the solvent

Pₛₒₗᵥ = 173.11 mmHg

X = Pₛₒₗ/Pₛₒₗᵥ

= 169.68/173.11

= 0.9802.

Mole fraction is defined as the ratio of the number of moles of the substance to the total number of moles in the solution.

Mathematically,

X = Xₛₒₗᵥ/Xₛₒₗ

Number of moles of Chloroform = mass/molar mass

= 150.9/119.40

= 1.2638 mol

Therefore,

Total number of moles = 1.2638/0.9802

= 1.2893 mol

Number of moles of the compound = total number of moles - number of moles of Chloroform

= 1.2893 - 1.2638

= 0.0255 mol.

Molar mass of the compound = mass/number of moles

= 9.877/0.0255

= 387.3 g/mol.

Answer:

The molecular weight of the unknown compound = 389.65 g/mol

Explanation:

Vapor Pressure of solution, P = mole fraction of solvent × Vapor Pressure of pure solvent = X × Pₛₒₗᵥ

P = 169.68 mmHg

Pₛₒₗᵥ = 173.11 mmHg

X = ?

X = P/Pₛₒₗᵥ = 169.68/173.11 = 0.9802

X = (number of moles of Chloroform)/(total number of moles)

Number of moles of Chloroform = mass/molar mass = 150.9/119.40 = 1.264 moles

X = 0.9802 = 1.264/(total number of moles)

Total number of moles = 1.264/0.9802 = 1.289 moles

Number of moles of unknown compound = total number of moles - number of moles of Chloroform = 1.289 - 1.264 = 0.0253 moles

Molar mass of unknown compound = (mass of unknown compound)/(number of moles of unknown compound) = 9.877/0.0253 = 389.65 g/mol

If a reaction occurs when a piece of metal is placed in a solution, what can you conclude about the solution?
USPshnik [31]
Hello!

If a reaction occurs when a piece of metal is placed in a solution, you can conclude that the solution is <span>probably acidic because bases rarely react with metals.

Strong Acids, like HCl, react with metals to produce salts and release gaseous hydrogen (H</span>₂) which is evidenced by the generation of bubbles in the solution. The general chemical equation for this kind of reactions for a metal M and an acid HA is:

2M(s) + 2HA(aq) → 2MA(aq) + H₂(g)

Have a nice day!

Question 20 (3 points) Why is the moon visible? Question 20 options: It is on fire. It reflects sunlight. Earth lights it up. It
alexgriva [62]

20. Answer is "it reflects sunlight".<span>

<span>The moon is </span>not a star<span> <span>as sun. Hence, </span></span>moon can't produce light by itself<span>. The only reason that we can see the moon is </span>it reflects the sunlight<span>. According to the distance from the sun to the moon, the light reflection can be varied.</span>

21. Answer is "Jupiter".

Asteroid belt<span> <span>is a </span></span>region which is located between Mars and Jupiter and consists of asteroids and minor planets.<span> This asteroid belt has the </span>4%<span> <span>as the mass </span>of our moon. Due to the </span>Jupiter's strong gravity<span>, it is </span>prevented a forming of new planet by this asteroid belt.

22.<span> Answer is "</span>they are equal".

The period of revolution is the time which is taken by a mass to go completely one round around another mass. For moon, the period of revolution is 27 days.<span>
The period of rotation</span> is the time taken by a mass to complete one round around its own axis. It is about 27 days for moon. 

</span>23.<span> Answer is "</span>The moon is in Earth's shadow".

<span>Lunar eclipse happens when </span>Sun, Earth and moon are directly aligned each other <span>and Earth is located in between the Sun and the moon. </span>Then the moon is covered by the Earth's shadow.

24.<span> Answer is "</span>In a solar eclipse, it is Earth that is caught in the umbra of the moon. In a lunar eclipse, it is the moon that is caught in the umbra of Earth".

In total lunar eclipse, Earth is located between Sun and the moon and they are directly aligned to each other. The moon is totally covered with the Earth's shadow.
Total solar eclipse can be seen when the moon is located between sun and Earth by completely covering the sun. 

25. According to the given choices, we can get "Apollo"<span> as the answer.

Apollo 8 is the first manned mission to the moon. From that there were several manned mission including <span>first manned landing on the moon. The Apollo program was conducted by USA.</span> </span>

If density usually increases with decreasing temperature, why does ice float on liquid water? Explain.
zepelin [54]

Answer:

If you continue to cool water past 4 degrees Celsius, its density starts to plummet (you can see this in the graph). At zero degrees, i.e., the temperature at which water turns into ice, the density of water is actually quite low. It turns out that ice has a lower density than water, and any object that has a lower density than the liquid form on which it’s kept (in this case, water) will be able to float!

You drop a rock weighing 23.2 g into a graduated cylinder that contains 55 mL. The level
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<h2>3.31 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 23.2 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 62 - 55 = 7 mL

We have

density =  \frac{23.2}{7}  \\  = 3.314285

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.31 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
