Answer: Vapor pressure of the solution will be less than the pure water.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure of a liquid is defined as the equilibrium pressure of the vapor above the liquid. It is also the pressure exerted by the evaporation of liquid.

When a solid is present in a liquid or a non-volatile substance is present in a liquid, the vapor pressure of the pure liquid tends to decrease.

The presence of a non-volatile solute in a solution reduces the escaping tendency of the solvent molecules into the vapor phase. This happens because solute particles occupy the position of solvent molecules on the liquid surface.

We are given an aqueous solution of sodium chloride and pure water.

Hence, vapor pressure of the solution will be less than the pure water.

17.8 mL NaOH

Step 1. Write the chemical equation

Fe^(2+) + 2NaOH → Fe(OH)2 + 2Na^(+)

Step 2. Calculate the moles of Fe^(2+)

Moles of Fe^(2+) = 500 mL Fe^(2+) × [0.0230 mmol Fe^(2+)]/[1 mL Fe^(2+)]

= 11.50 mmol Fe^(2+)

Step 3. Calculate the moles of NaOH

Moles of NaOH = 11.50 mmol Fe^(2+) × [2 mmol NaOH]/[1 mmol Fe^(2+)]

= 23.00 mmol NaOH

Step 4. Calculate the volume of NaOH

Volume of NaOH = 23.00 mmol NaOH × (1 mL NaOH/1.29 mmol NaOH)

= 17.8 mL NaOH

DENIUS [597]

1. Which is the metric standard for measuring energy?

The metric standard for measuring of energy defined by the International System of Units is the joule (J), which is defined as the work done by a force of a newton in a displacement of one meter in the direction of force. So,

1 J = 1 N m = 1 kg·m²/s²

Calorie is also frequently used in scientific and technological applications. Calorie is a unit of thermal energy that is equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.

1 cal = 4,184 J

2. Which unit is used for specific heat capacity?

The specific heat capacity (c) is a physical quantity that is defined as the amount of heat (q) that must be supplied to the mass unit of a thermodynamic substance or system to raise its temperature by one unit. So,

c = q / m ΔT

where m is the mass of the substance and ΔT is the temperature increase.

In this way, as heat is a form of energy, the International System of Units expresses the specific heat in joules per kilogram and per kelvin (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹). Another common unit, not belonging to the SI, is the calorie per gram and per degree centigrade (cal g⁻¹ ° C⁻¹).

3. If you wanted to compare the abilities of olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy, which unit would you use?

You should use units of specific heat capacity (J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹) since, as mentioned above, this is a physical quantity that measures the amount of heat that must be supplied to an specific mass of a substance or system to raise its temperature.

Heat is a thermal energy, so by using heat capacity units you can compare the ability of olive oil and peanut oil to gain or lose thermal energy by varying its temperature.
