You can detect salt in water without tasting by measuring the density of the water. Place a glass of spring water and a glass of the suspected salt water on a balance scale and the heavier one contains salt. Other ways to test for salt in water is to put a drop of water on the end of a nail and place in a gas flame. If the water contains salt, the flame will turn a yellow/orange color.

Answer:

n(HCl)=1.96 mol

Explanation:

CH4+4Cl2⟶CCl4+4HCl

CCl4+2HF⟶CCl2F2+2HCl

With ideal yields we will end up with 4 moles of HCl.

With 70% yields on every stage

n(HCl)=0.7*0.7*4=1.96 mol

sample of carbon monoxide gas occupies 3.20 L at 125 °C. At what temperature will the gas occupy a volume of 1.54 L if the press

Anna [14]

Answer:

-81.5 degrees C or 191.5 K

Explanation:

We want to use Charles' gas law: V/T = V/T

Our initial volume is 3.20 L, and our initial temperature is 125 degrees C, or 125 + 273 = 398 degrees Kelvin.

Our new Volume is 1.54 L, but we don't know what the temperature is. So, we use the equation:

3.20 L / 398 K = 1.54 L / T ⇒ Solving for T, we get: T = 191.5 K

If we want this in degrees Celsius, we subtract 273: 191.5 - 273 = -81.5 degrees C

Explanation:

The osmosis is a movement from somewhere with a lower concentration of a substance to somewhere with a higher concentration of the same substance. Against the concentration gradient. It occurs through a semi permeable membrane which prevents a non desired substance cross it. Also, it's very important to biological process.
