Here is the full question

Glycerin is poured into an open U-shaped tube until the height in both sides is 20 cm. Ethyl alcohol is then poured into one arm until the height of the alcohol column is 10 cm. The two liquids do not mix.

What is the difference in height between the top surface of the glycerin and the top surface of the alcohol? Suppose that the density of glycerin is 1260 kg/m3and the density of alcohol is 790 kg/m3.

Express your answer in two significant figures and include the appropriate units (in cm)

Answer:

ΔH ≅ 3.73 cm

Explanation:

The pressure inside a liquid is known as hydrostatic pressure and which is represent by the formula:

P =   ρ × g × h

where;

ρ is the density of the fluid

g is the gravitational constant

h is the height from the surface

From the question above;

For glycerine; we have:

density of glycerine = 1260 kg/m³

gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²

height = ???

∴

P_{(g)= 1260kg/m^3}*9.8m/s^2*h_g   ----- equation (1)

On the other hand for alcohol:

density of alcohol is given as = 790 kg/m³

gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²

height = 10 cm

∴

P_{(a)= 790kg/m^3*9.8m/s^2*10           ----------- equation (2)

if we equate equation 1 and 2 together; we have

P_{(g)= P_{(a)

1260kg/m^3}*9.8m/s^2*h_g = 790kg/m^3*9.8m/s^2*10cm

Making h_g the subject of the formula, we have :

h_g= \frac{ 790kg/m^3*9.8m/s^2*10cm}{1260kg/m^3*9.8m/s^2}

h_g = 6.269 cm

The difference in the height denoted  by ΔH can therefore be calculated as:

ΔH = H_a-H_g

ΔH = 10cm - 6.269cm

ΔH = 3.731 cm

ΔH ≅ 3.73 cm           (to two significant figures)

A volume of 100 mL of 1.00 M HCl solution is titrated with 1.00 M NaOH solution. You added the following quantities of 1.00 M Na
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a: before equivalence point

b: equivalence point

c: before equivalence point

d: after the eqivalence point

e: before equivalence point

f:  after the eqivalence point

Explanation:

Balanced equation of reaction:

NaOH +HCl =NaCl +H2O;

Volume of HCl is fixed and it 100ml and concentration is 1.0M

N1 and N2 normality of HCl and NaOH respectively;

V1 and V2 volume of HCl and NaOH respectively;

we have given molarity but we need normality;

Normality=molarity \times n-factor

<em>but in case of NaOH and HCl n-factor is 1 for each.</em>

hence

normality=molarity;

At equivalence point:  N_1V_1=N_2V_2

Before equivalence point : N_1V_1>N_2V_2

After the equivalence point: N_1V_1

N_1V_1=100\times1=100

case a:  5.00 mL of 1.00 M NaOH

N_2V_2=5\times1=5

N_1V_1>N_2V_2 hence it is before equivalence point

case b: 100mL of 1.00 M NaOH

N_2V_2=100\times1=100

N_1V_1=N_2V_2 hence it is equivalence point

case c:  10.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH

N_2V_2=10\times1=10

N_1V_1>N_2V_2 hence it is before equivalence point

case d: 150 mL of 1.00 M NaOH

N_2V_2=150\times1=150

N_1V_1 hence it is after the eqivalence point

case e: 50.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH

N_2V_2=50\times1=50

N_1V_1>N_2V_2 hence it is before equivalence point

case f: 200 mL of 1.00 M NaOH

N_2V_2=200\times1=200

N_1V_1 hence it is after the eqivalence point

4. How many moles of atoms are present in 7 moles of sulfuric acid, H₂SO4?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

<u>49 moles of atoms</u>

Explanation:

There are 7 individual atoms in each molecule of H2SO4:  (2 hydrogens + 1 sulfur + 4 oxygens).

Therefore, if 7 moles are decomposed, there would be 7 times that amount of individual atoms:

7 x 7 = 49 moles of atoms

On a cold morning, the smoke coming out of a chimney is observed to be in blue color. What could be the reason? Name the effect
nirvana33 [79]

Stack effect? I'm not totally sure about this...

Explanation:

Large amount of tiny particles of water droplets, dust and smoke are present on a misty day. These tiny particles in the air scatter blue colour of white light passing through it. When this scattered light reaches our eyes, the smoke appears blue.
