Explanation:

Characteristics of good solvent choice for the recrystallization.

1. Water has low solubility of benzoic acid at room temperature.

2. Cold water's low solubility of  benzoic acid allows for the high concentration production of crystal. And these crystals could be easily soluble in hot water.

3. Water dissolves soluble impurities well at  the room temperature.

Explanation:

It is known that a compound is soluble when the boiling point of the solvent is high. Whereas at normal temperature of the solvent it will have low solubility.

And, if the solute is highly soluble into the solvent at normal temperature then it is difficult to recrystallize the solute.

Hence, in order to recrystallize the solute particles it is necessary that impurities will be highly soluble at the room temperature or they should remain insoluble into the hot solvent.

As a result, there will not take place any reaction between the solute and solvent.

Since, benzoic acid is non-polar in nature and water is a polar solvent so, it will not easily dissolve in water. Therefore, it will readily evaporate in order to give the pure compound.

A binary compound of boron and hydrogen has the following percentage composition: 78.14% boron, 21.86% hydrogen. If the molar ma
algol [13]

Answer:

Empirical formula: BH3

Molecular Formula: B2H6

Explanation:

To solve the exercise, we need to know how many boron atoms and how many hydrogen atoms the compound has. We know that of the total weight of the compound, 78.14% correspond to boron and 21.86% to hydrogen. As the weight of the compound is between 27 g and 28 g, using the above percentages we can solve that the compound has between 21.1 g and 21.8 g of boron, and between 5.9 g and 6.1 g of hydrogen:

100% _____ 27 g

78.14% _____ x = 78.14% * 27g / 100% = 21.1 g boron

100% ______27 g

21.86% ______ x = 21.86% * 27g / 100% = 5.9 g hydrogen

100% _____ 28 g

78.14% _____ x = 78.14% * 28g / 100% = 21.8 g boron

100% _____ 28g

21.86% _____ x = 21.86% * 28g / 100% = 6.1 g hydrogen

So, if the atomic weight of boron is 10.8 g, there must be two boron atoms in the compound that sum 21.6 g. The weight of hydrogen is 1 g, so the compound must have six hydrogen atoms.

The molecular formula represents the real amount of atoms that form a compound. Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is B2H6.

The empirical formula is the minimum expression that represents the proportion of atoms in a compound. For example, ethane has 2 carbon atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms, so its molecular formula is C2H6, however, its empirical formula is CH3. Therefore, the empirical formula of the boron compound is BH3.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

11,000 cm

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Width of the field (w): 17 meters

Length of the field (l): 38 meters

Step 2: Calculate the perimeter of the field

The field is a rectangle. We can find its perimeter (P) by adding its sides.

P = 2 × w + 2 × l = 2 × 17 m + 2 × 38 m = 110 m

Step 3: Convert the perimeter to centimeters

We will use the relationship 1 m = 100 cm.

110 m × (100 cm/1 m) = 11,000 cm
