The common laboratory solvent benzene is often used to purify substances dissolved in it. The vapor pressure of benzene , C6H6,

is 73.03 mm Hg at 25 degrees Celsius.
In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 18.16 grams of the compound were dissolved in 228.6 grams of benzene, the vapor pressure of the solution was 71.88 mm Hg. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte.

What is the molecular weight of this compound ?

Answer: Molecular weight of this compound is 387.3g/mol

Explanation:

As the relative lowering of vapor pressure is directly proportional to the amount of dissolved solute.

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be,

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times x_2

where,

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}= relative lowering in vapor pressure

i = Van'T Hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolytes)

x_2 = mole fraction of solute  =\frac{\text {moles of solute}}{\text {total moles}}

Given : 18.16 g of compound is present in 228.6 g of benzene

moles of solute = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{18.16g}{Mg/mol}

moles of solvent (benzene) = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{228.6g}{78g/mol}=2.93moles

x_2 = mole fraction of solute  =\frac{\frac{18.16g}{Mg/mol}}{\frac{18.16g}{Mg/mol}+2.93}

\frac{73.03-71.88}{73.03}=1\times \frac{\frac{18.16g}{Mg/mol}}{\frac{18.16g}{Mg/mol}+2.93}

M=387.3g/mol

The molecular weight of this compound is 387.3g/mol

For each of the following acid-base reactions, calculate how many grams of each acid are necessary to completely react with and
Anika [276]

Answer:

m_{HCl}=2.19gHCl

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, for 2.4 g of base, we can compute the neutralized grams of acid by applying the 1:1 molar ratio between them and their molar masses, 36.45 g/mol and 40 g/mol respectively as shown below by stoichiometry:

m_{HCl}=2.4gNaOH*\frac{1molNaOH}{40gNaOH}*\frac{1molHCl}{1molNaOH}*\frac{36.45gHCl}{1molHCl}\\   \\m_{HCl}=2.19gHCl

Best regards.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
shtirl [24]
1) d

2) b because the independent variable is the thing you change/control in an experiment

3) c because the dependent variable is the thing being measured in an experiment

4)hmm it might be d, as c and a are both correct as different sized feeders would make it an unfair test and different types of food would as well

5) c

6) a

7) b obviously because if he activated them at different times then the ones activated last would have an advantage
