Answer:

Molar mass X = 18.2 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of compound X = 231 mg = 0.231 grams

Mass of benzene = 65.0 grams

The freezing point of the solution is measured to be 4.5 °C.

Freezing point of pure benzene = 5.5 °C

The freezing point constant for benzene is 5.12 °C/m

Step 2: Calculate molality

ΔT = i*Kf*m

⇒ΔT = the freezing point depression = 5.5 °C - 4.5 °C = 1.0 °C

⇒i = the Van't hoff factor = 1

⇒Kf = the freezing point depression constant for benzene = 5.12 °C/m

⇒m = the molality = moles X / mass benzene

m = 1.0 / 5.12 °C/m

m = 0.1953 molal

Step 3: Calculate moles X

Moles X = molality * mass benzene

Moles X = 0.1953 molal * 0.065 kg

Moles X = 0.0127 moles

Step 4: Calculate molar mass X

Molar mass X = mass / moles

Molar mass X = 0.231 grams / 0.0127 moles

Molar mass X = 18.2 g/mol

Define a fluid very sort answer

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

A fluid is a medium that has a defined mass and volume, but no fixed shape, at a constant temperature and pressure. This may include gases, liquids, plasmas, and to some extent plastic solids. A fluid can flow and deform, preventing it from carrying loads in a static equilibrium. A fluid is always compressible and internal frictional forces always occur due to the viscosity of the fluid.

A scientist observes that the electrical resistance of a superconducting material drops to zero when the material is cooled to v

k0ka [10]

Answer:

The scientist is observing an intensive property of a superconductor.

Explanation:

An intensive property is a bulk property of matter. This means that an intensive property does not depend on the amount of substance present in the material under study. Typical examples of intensive properties include; conductivity, resistivity, density, hardness, etc.

An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of substance present in a sample. Extensive properties depend on the quantity of matter present in the sample under study. Examples of extensive properties include, mass and volume.

Resistance of a superconducting material has nothing to do with the amount of the material present hence it is an intensive property of the superconductor.

Calculate the standard reaction enthalpy for the reaction NO2(g) → NO(g) + O(g) given +142.7 kJ/mol for the standard enthalpy of

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The standard reaction enthalpy for the given reaction is 235.15 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

$O_2(g) \rightarrow \frac{2}{3}O_3(g),\Delta H^o_{1}=142.7 kJ/mol$ ..[1]

$O_2(g) \rightarrow 2 O(g),\Delta H^o_{2}=498.4 kJ/mol$ ..[2]

$NO(g) + O_3(g)\rightarrow NO_2(g) + O_2(g) ,\Delta H^o_{3} = -200 kJ/mol$ ..[3]

$NO_2(g)\rightarrow NO(g) + O(g),\Delta H^o_{4}=?$ ..[4]

Using Hess's law:

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

2 × [4] = [2]- (3 ) × [1] - (2) × [3]

$2\times \Delta H^o_{4}=\Delta H^o_{2} -3\times \Delta H^o_{1}-2\times \Delta H^o_{3}$

$2\times \Delta H^o_{4}=498.4 kJ/mol-3\times 142.7 kJ/mol-2\times -200 kJ/mol$

$2\times \Delta H^o_{4}=470.3 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H^o_{4}=\frac{470.3 kJ/mol}{2}=235.15 kJ/mol$

The standard reaction enthalpy for the given reaction is 235.15 kJ/mol.

Metallic copper is formed when aluminum reacts with copper(ii) sulfate. how many grams of metallic copper can be obtained when 5

exis [7]

Answer is: 127 grams <span>rams of metallic copper can be obtained.
</span>Balanced chemical reaction: 2Al + 3CuSO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3Cu.
m(Al) = 54.0 g.
n(Al) = m(Al) ÷ M(Al).
n(Al) = 54 g ÷ 27 g/mol.
n(Al) = 2 mol.
m(CuSO₄) = 319 g.
n(CuSO₄) = 319 g ÷ 159.6 g/mol.
n(CuSO₄) = 2 mol; limiting reactant.
From chemical reaction: n(CuSO₄) : n(Cu) = 3 : 3 (1 : 1).
n(Cu) = 2 mol.
n(Cu) = 2 mol · 63.55 g/mol.
n(Cu) = 127.1 g.
