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

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

1.39

Explanation:

[Hg2Cl2]= 1M

[H^+] = ????

E°cell= 0.35V

E= 0.268 V

Therefore E for the reaction must -0.082 V

n= 2 moles of electrons

From Nernst Equation:

E= E°cell- 0.0592/n log [Red]/[Ox]

0.0268= 0.35- 0.0592/2 log 1/[Ox]^2

-0.082= -0.0296 log 1/[Ox]^2

log 1/[Ox]^2= 0.082/0.0296

log 1/[Ox]^2= 2.77

1/[Ox]^2=Antilog (2.77)

[Ox]^2=1.698×10^-3

[Ox] = 0.0412 M

But pH= -log [H^+]= -log(0.0412)= 1.385

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

8.354 nanometers

Explanation:

To treat a diffusive process in function of time and distance we need to solve  2nd Ficks Law. This a partial differential equation, with certain condition the solution looks like this:

\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=erf(x/2\sqrt{D*t})

Where Cs is the concentration in the surface of the solid

Cx is the concentration at certain deep X

Co is the initial concentration of solute in the solid

and erf is the error function

Then we solve right side,

\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=\frac{1018atoms/cm3-1016atoms/cm3}{1018atoms/cm3}=0.001964

And we need to look up the inverse error function of 0.001964 resulting in: 0.00174055

Then we solve for x:

x=0.00174055*2*\sqrt{D*t} =0.00174055*2*\sqrt{2*10^{-12}cm^{2}/s*8h*3600s/h}=8.35464*10^{-7}cm
