When 0.49 g of a molecular compound was dissolved in 20.00 g of cyclohexane, the freezing point of the solution was lowered by 3

IRISSAK [1]

Answer: The molecular mass of this compound is 131 g/mol

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point:

$\Delta T_f=i\times k_f\times \frac{w_2\times 1000}{M_2\times w_1}$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ = depression in freezing point = $3.9^oC$

$k_f$ = freezing point constant = $20.8^0C/m$

m = molality

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

$w_2$ = mass of solute = 0.49 g

$w_1$ = mass of solvent (cyclohexane) = 20.00 g

$M_2$ = molar mass of solute = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$(3.9)^oC=1\times (20.8^oC/m)\times \frac{(0.49g)\times 1000}{M_2\times (20.00g)}$

$M_2=131g/mol$

Therefore, the molar mass of solute is 131 g/mol

Answer:

The elastic potential energy stored in the stretched rubber band changes to kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Joshua hooks a rubber band between his thumb and forefinger. He moves his fingers apart, stretching the rubber band---- Here potential Energy is stored which is an energy that the rubber band has because of its position and it's potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

With a quick, sudden motion, he bends his thumb forward so that the rubber band slips off----The elastic potential energy stored in the stretched rubber band will change to kinetic energy, which is the Energy in Motion and work needed to accelerate the rubber band from rest to its stated or new position.

In a chemical reaction

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

A) The atoms of the reactants unbond, rearrange and then rebond to form the products

Explanation:

Using method of elimination:

A) The atoms of the reactants unbond, rearrange and then rebond to form the products

This is the correct option. Chemical reactions involves breaking and forming of new bonds.

B) Some atoms disappear while others multiply to form the products

This option is incorrect. Atoms do not disappear

C) The atoms of the reactants always stay together to form the products

This option is incorrect. The bonds between the atoms in the reactants must first be broken before products can be formed.

D) New atoms are formed which combine to make the products

This option is incorrect. Atoms do not just form out of nowhere.
