A geochemist in the field takes a 36.0 mL sample of water from a rock pool lined with crystals of a certain mineral compound X.

He notes the temperature of the pool, 170 C, and caps the sample carefully. Back in the lab, the geochemist first dilutes the sample with distilled water to 500. mL. Then he filters it and evaporates all the water under vacuum. Crystals of X are left behind. The researcher washes, dries and weighs the crystals. They weigh 3.96 g Using only the information above, can you calculate yes the solubility of X in water at 17.0 C? If you said yes, calculate it. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and 3 O no significant digits.

Answer:

The solubility of X in water at 17°C is 0.110 g/mL.

Explanation:

The water of a rock pool lined with mineral crystals is a <em>saturated solution</em> of said mineral, this means the concentration of X in those 36 mL is the solubility of compound X in water at 17 °C.

  • This means<u> it is possible to calculate said solubility</u>.

The dilution of the sample is not relevant, nor is that 500 mL volume. What's important is that 3.96 g of X form a saturated solution with 36.0 mL of water, so the solubility is:

  • 3.96 g / 36.0 mL = 0.110 g/mL

Sulfuric acid dissolves and completely dissociates in water and a solvation sphere of water molecules forms around the ions. Thi
Elan Coil [88]

This solute-solvent interaction will release energy into the surroundings and makes the beaker warm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The sulfuric acid is dissolved in water and it formed a solvation sphere of water molecules around the sulphur ions. So on stirring the beaker is getting warm. As the beaker is getting warm, this means the reaction occuring between sulfuric acid and water is exothermic reaction.

And so the energy is released into the surroundings. The energy released came from the breaking of bonds of sulfuric acid, as the acid is getting dissociated in water.

So, the release of energy in the surroundings lead to the warming of the beaker. Hence, the solute-solvent interaction release energy into the surroundings.

Write down your understanding of plate tectonics.
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet.
