Chemistry

kirill [66]4 years ago

Answer: It dissolves a variety of solutes in it.

Explanation: Water is capable of dissolving a variety of solutes in it so called as universal solvent.

It has the ability to dissolve solutes more than any other liquid. It is a very essential component of earth because water flows and carries many  nutrients and minerals dissolved in it.

It is due to its chemical composition that allows it to do so.It has a polar arrangement of oxygen which provides negative charge and hydrogen molecules provides positive charge.

This provides water the ability to dissolve many solute particles in it.

Because water is able to dissolve in many things and most of this world is made out of water so no country or state doesn't have water, some have infected water with lead in them and others don't, but water can dissolve in salt, that's why they call it salt water and also tapped water where u put some mixtures in them to make it have flavor.

4.True or false. P(E) + P(Ec) = 1.
iogann1982 [59]
4.) True: 
Since
P(E) = 1 - P(Ec)
P(E)+P(Ec)=1 
If you think of it as the chances of you getting e or not getting e, then it's a 100% chance of either one happening.

How many molecules are in 68.0 g of H2S
Kryger [21]

The correct answer is 12.044 × 10²³ molecules.  

The molecular mass of H₂S is 34 gram per mole.  

Number of moles is determined by using the formula,  

Number of moles = mass/molecular mass

Given mass is 68 grams, so no of moles will be,  

68/34 = 2 moles

1 mole comprises 6.022 × 10²³ molecules, therefore, 2 moles will comprise = 6.022 × 10²³ × 2

= 12.044 × 10²³ molecules.

The boiling point of chloroform is 61.7 C. The enthalapy of vaporization is 31.4 kj/mol. Caculate the entropy of vaporization. D
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Δ S = 93.8 J/mol-K

Explanation:

Given,

Boiling point of chloroform = 61.7 °C

                                             = 273 + 61.7 = 334.7 K.

Enthalapy of vapourization = 31.4 kJ/mol.

Using Gibbs free   energy equation

Δ G = Δ H - T (ΔS)

at equilibrium (when the liquid is boiling), Δ G = 0

so,  0 = ΔH - T (Δ S)

      T (Δ S) = Δ H

and ΔS = ΔH / T

Δ S = (31400 J/mol.) / 334.7 K

Δ S = 93.8 J/mol-K
