Water is a good choice of solvent because it is benign, cheap and readily available. Identify two characteristics that make wate

r a good choice for the recrystallization solvent for benzoic acid? (What are the characteristics of a good recrystallization solvent?)

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.

What is the mass of a sample of water that takes 2000 kJ of energy to boil into steam at 373 K. The latent heat of vaporization
zzz [600]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{889 g}}

Explanation:

The formula relating the mass m of a sample and the heat q to vaporize it is

q = mL, where L is the latent heat of vaporization.

\begin{array}{rcl}2000 \times 10^{3} \text{ J} & = & m \times \dfrac{2.25 \times 10^{6} \text{ J}}{\text{1 kg}}\\\\m & = & \dfrac{2000 \times \times 10^{3}\text{ kg}}{2.25 \times 10^{6}}\\ & = & \text{0.889 kg}\\\\ & = & \text{889 g}\\\end{array}\\\text{The mass of water is $\boxed{\textbf{889 g}}$}

Please help with 14-16 <br> Thank you!
Natalka [10]
I don't know about 14, but 15 is (4), because a liquid draws in heat to turn into a gas. 16 is (2), because to turn into a cold solid, something has to release heat.

The compound whose molecules have the highest average kinetic energy is?
KIM [24]

Answer:

C)

Explanation:

The warmer the molecules, the higher the average kinetic energy.

"As stated in the kinetic-molecular theory, the temperature of a substance is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles of that substance. When a substance is heated, some of the absorbed energy is stored within the particles, while some of the energy increases the motion of the particles. This is registered as an increase in the temperature of the substance." -lumen learning

(I know for sure but what think... hope this helped)
