Answer:

  91.7°C

Explanation:

We suppose you have a formula to work from. However, that is not supplied with this problem statement, so we looked one up.

The formula in the attachment is supposed to have good accuracy in the temperature range of interest. It gives vapor pressure of water in kPa, not mmHg, so we needed the conversion for that, too.

560 mmHg corresponds to about 74.66 kPa. The attached "Buck equation" formula is used to find the corresponding temperature. The exponential equation could be solved algebraically using logarithms and the quadratic formula, but we choose to find the solution graphically.

Water boils at about 91.7 °C on Mt. Whitney.

Magnesium (average atomic mass = 24.3050 amu) consists of three isotopes with masses 23.9850 amu, 24.9858 amu, and 25.9826 amu.
iris [78.8K]

Answer: The first isotope has a relative abundance of 79% and last isotope has a relative abundance of 11%

Explanation: Given that the average atomic mass(M) of magnesium

= 24.3050amu

Mass of first isotope (M1) = 23.9850amu

Mass of middle isotope (M2)=24.9858amu

Mass of last isotope(M3)= 25.9826amu

Total abundance = 1

Abundance of middle isotope = 0.10

Let abundance of first and last isotope be x and y respectively.

x+0.10+y =1

x = 0.90-y

M = M1 × % abundance of first isotope + M2 × % of middle isotope +M3 ×% of last isotope

24.03050= 23.985× x + 24.9858 ×0.10 + 25.9826×y

Substitute x= 0.90-y

Then

y = 0.11

Since y=0.11, then

x= 0.90-0.11

x=0.79

Therefore the relative abundance of the first isotope = 11% and the relative abundance of the last isotope = 79%

Consider this equilibrium reaction between carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, occurring in a sealed flexible container. CO(g) + 3
wariber [46]

Answer:

More H2(g) is added to the container : <u>Towards products.</u>

CO is removed from the container : <u>Towards reactants.</u>

More CH4(g) is added to the container : <u>Towards reactants</u>

H2O(g) is removed from the container <u>: Towards products.</u>

The contents of the container are heated up. :<u> Towards the reactants.</u>

The contents of the container are cooled down : <u>Towards the products.</u>

The pressure inside the container is increased. :<u>Towards the products</u>

The container is stretched to increase the volume: <u>Towards the reactants.</u>

Explanation: :

CO(g) + 3 H2g) → CH4(g) + H2O(g)+ heat

There is released heat, so this reaction is exothermic

If the H2 concentration is increased, the system will try to change the concentration change by shifting the balance to the right, and thus the concentration of products will increase.<u> Towards products.</u>

If the CO is removed, the system will try to change this situation by shifting the balance to the left, and thus the concentration of reactants will increase, the concentration of products will decrease. <u>Towards reactants.</u>

If the CH4 concentration is increased, the system will try to change the concentration change by shifting the balance to the left, and thus the concentration of reactants will increase. <u>Towards reactants</u>

If the H2O is removed, the system will try to change this situation by shifting the balance to the right, and thus the concentration of products will increase, the concentration of products will decrease. <u>Towards products.</u>

If the temperature is increased, the system will reduce the amount of heat released. So the balance will shift to the left. <u>Towards the reactants.</u>

This because the extra heat / energy must be used.

If the temperature is decreased, the system will produce more heat  So the balance will shift to the right. <u>Towards the products.</u>

This because more heat /energy needs to be produced to make up for the loss of heat (energy).

If the pressure is increased, the system will shift to the side with fewer moles of gas. In this case, there are 4 moles on the left and 2 moles on the right.  So the balance will shift to the right. <u>Towards the products.</u> An increase of pressure has the same effect on the equilibrium as a decrease of the volume.

If the volume is increased, this means the pressure is decreased, the system will shift to the side with most moles of gas. In this case, there are 4 moles on the left and 2 moles on the right.  So the balance will shift to the left. <u>Towards the reactants.</u> An increase of volume has the same effect on the equilibrium as a decrease of the pressure.

Which of the following is most likely to dissolve in NH3? A) CO2 B) CH4 C) H2S D) BH3
dem82 [27]

Answer:

C) H2S

Explanation:

In chemistry, the dissolution of one substance in another is dependent on the magnitude of intermolecular interaction between the two substances.  Hence, if two substances do not interact in one way or the other, then one can not dissolve the other.

Let us consider the fact that NH3 is a polar molecule and it is a general principle that like dissolves like. Hence, only H2S which is also a polar molecule can effectively interact with  NH3 due to dipole-dipole interaction between the two molecules.

Also, ammonia reacts with hydrogen sulphide as follows;

2NH3 + H2S → (NH4)2S

Hence H2S is more likely to dissolve in NH3.
