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

The density of solid Ag is 10.5 g/cm3. How many atoms are present per cubic centimeter of Ag?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Unit cells which are present per cubic centimeter of Ag = =1.45\times 10^{22}\ unit\ cells /cm^3

Volume = 68.9\times 10^{-24}\ cm^3

Edge length = 4.1\times 10^{-8}\ cm

Explanation:

(a)

Given that:-

The density of the solid Ag = 10.5 g/cm³

Molar mass of silver = 107.8682 g/mol

So, Moles present per cm³ of Ag = \frac{10.5\ g/cm^3}{107.8682\ g/mol}=0.0973 mol/cm³

Also, 1 mole = 6.023\times 10^{23} atoms.

So,

Atoms present per cm³ of Ag = 0.0973\ mol/cm^3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}\ atoms/mol=5.8\times 10^{22}\ atoms/cm^3

Thus, answer = 5.8\times 10^{22}\ atoms/cm^3

In FCC, the number of atoms  in the unit cell = 4 unit cells

So,

Unit cells which are present per cubic centimeter of Ag = \frac{5.8\times 10^{22}\ atoms/cm^3}{4}=1.45\times 10^{22}\ unit\ cells /cm^3

<u>Unit cells which are present per cubic centimeter of Ag = =1.45\times 10^{22}\ unit\ cells /cm^3</u>

(b)

The reciprocal of the unit cell/cm³ is the volume of the unit cell.

So, Volume=\frac{1}{1.45\times 10^{22}\ unit\ cells /cm^3}=68.9\times 10^{-24}\ cm^3

<u>Volume = 68.9\times 10^{-24}\ cm^3</u>

(c)

Also, Volume = {(Edge\ length)}^3

Thus, edge length = {Volume}^{\frac{1}{3}} = \left(68.9\times \:\:10^{-24}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\ cm=4.1\times 10^{-8}\ cm

<u>Edge length = 4.1\times 10^{-8}\ cm</u>

How do you identify the element shown in a Bohr model?
krek1111 [17]

Answer: There are three main factors that characterize the Bohr model. First, in the Bohr Model, the orbits have a set size and energy. There’s a correlation between energy and size: the smaller the orbit, the less energy it has. Electrons can move from one orbit to another by emitting or absorbing radiation.

Explanation: Hope this helped !

Make a paragraph with the word barometer and weather vane and anemometer and aerovane
koban [17]

Answer:

Anemometers measure wind speed and wind vanes measure wind direction. A typical wind vane has a pointer in front and fins in back. When the wind is blowing, the wind vane points into the wind.Barometers, manometers and anemometers are all scientific instruments. Scientists use barometers and manometers to measure atmospheric pressure, while anemometers measure wind speed.
