What do you mean by Latent heat of evaporation! (not vaporisation/fusion) Kindly tell from Science NCERT class 9.

1 answer:

4 0

Since none answered from Indian NCERT yet, let me give a simple definition from ICSE..
Latent Heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to convert unit mass of a substance from liquid to vapour state WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN ITS TEMPERATURE....
hope this helps!

The solubility of CO2 in water is 0.161 g/100 mL at 20oC and a partial pressure of CO2 of 760 mmHg. What partial pressure of CO2

Schach [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The partial pressure of carbon dioxide having solubility 0.886g/100mL is 4182.4 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

The equation given by Henry's law is:

$C_{CO_2}=K_H\times p_{CO_2}$ ......(1)

where,

$C_{CO_2$ = solubility of carbon dioxide in water = 0.161 g/100 mL

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = ?

$p_{CO_2}$ = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 760 mmHg

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$760mmHg=K_H\times 0.161g/100mL\\\\K_H=\frac{760mmHg}{0.161g/100mL}=4720.5g.mmHg/100mL$

Now, calculating the pressure of carbon dioxide using equation 1, we get:

$C_{CO_2$ = solubility of carbon dioxide in water = 0.886 g/100 mL

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = 4720.5 g.mmHg/100 mL

$p_{CO_2}$ = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = ?

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$p_{CO_2}=4720.5g.mmHg/100mL\times 0.886g/100mL=4182.4mmHg$

Hence, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide having solubility 0.886g/100mL is 4182.4 mmHg

ladessa [460]

Answer:

The corect answer is c) naturally occurring; solids

Explanation:

Minerals exists as solid substances in nature consisting of one or more element chemically combined together formiming compounds with definite composition. As mentioned earlier single elements can form minerals and examples of single element mineral are Silver, Carbon and Gold which are found in nature in their pure form and are mined.

Minerals are normally found in rocks, which may contain one ore more different types of minerals

Propane, C3H8, consists of ________________ bonds and it can be expected to dissolve in hexane and to not dissolve in water.

PtichkaEL [24]

Non-polar covalent

Explanation:

Propane is made up of non-polar covalent bonds and it can be expected to dissolve in hexane and to not dissolve in water.

Propane is an hydrocarbon gas.

It forms by sharing of electrons between two atoms with very low electronegativity differences.

This differences results in equal sharing of the shared electron. Therefore they form a non-polar covalent bond.

Water is a polar covalent compound and cannot dissolve compounds that are not polar like propane.

Propane will only dissolve in a like substance like hexane which is equally non-polar.

A piece of glass is immersed in a liquid. It proceeds to float on the liquid's surface. This shows that the density of the glass

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: b) Less dense

Explanation:

Differences in density is one reason objects float or sink.

An object more dense than the fluid in which it is immersed will sink, while objects less dense than the fluid in which it is immersed will float to the surface.

But objects floats at constant level if the density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed; it neither rises nor sinks in the fluid in this case.
