Answer:

The dissociation constant of phenol from given information is 9.34\times 10^{-11}.

Explanation:

The measured pH of the solution = 5.153

C_6H_5OH\rightarrow C_6H_5O^-+H^+

Initially      c

At eq'm   c-x       x  x

The expression of dissociation constant is given as:

K_a=\frac{[C_6H_5O^-][H^+]}{[C_6H_5OOH]}

Concentration of phenoxide ions and hydrogen ions are equal to x.

pH=-\log[x]

5.153=-\log[x]

x=7.03\times 10^{-6} M

K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}=\frac{x^2}{(c-x)}=\frac{(7.03\times 10^{-6} M)^2}{ 0.529 M-7.03\times 10^{-6} M}

K_a=9.34\times 10^{-11}

The dissociation constant of phenol from given information is 9.34\times 10^{-11}.

If 13.0 g of MgSO4⋅7H2O is thoroughly heated, what mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain?
Paul [167]

6.349 g mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 1023 of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

Molar mass MgSO₄.7 H₂O = 246.52 g/mol

Moles =\frac{mass}{molar \;mass}

Moles =\frac{13.0 g}{246.52}

0.0527 moles

Molar mass MgSO₄ = 120.4 g/mol

Mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate :

( 0.0527 x 120.4 ) => 6.349 g

Describe the temperature changes that occur in ice as energy is added, starting in the frozen state and ending in the vapor stat
Ket [755]

Explanation:

When water is frozen then it is known as ice and its state is solid. So, its molecules will be held closer to each other as they are held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction.

As a result, its temperature will be minimum as its molecules have least kinetic energy.

It is known that kinetic energy of a substance is directly proportional to temperature.

As,            K.E = \frac{3}{2}kT

where            K.E = kinetic energy

                       T = temperature

                       k = boltzmann constant

When solid changes into liquid state then it means molecules of a substance has gained kinetic energy due to which there occurs more collisions between the molecules.

Hence, temperature of substance also increases.

Whereas when liquid state of a substance changes intro vapor state then it means that more kinetic energy has gained by the molecules due to which there will be much more collisions between the molecules.

Hence, temperature will be maximum in vapor state.

If the cylindrical pistons are 25.000 cm in diameter at 20.0 ∘c, what should be the minimum diameter of the cylinders at that te
attashe74 [19]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The piston supports the same load W at both temperatures.
The ideal gas law is
pV=nRT
where
p = pressure
V = volume
n = moles
T = temperature
R = gas constant

State 1:
T₁ = 20 C = 20+273 = 293 K
d₁ = 25 cm piston diameter

State 2:
T₂ = 150 C = 423 K
d₂ = piston diameter

Because V, n, and R remain the same between the two temperatures, therefore
\frac{p_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{p_{2}}{T_{2}}

If the supported load is W kg, then
p_{1} =  \frac{W \, N}{ \frac{\pi}{4} d_{1}^{2}} = \frac{4W \, N}{\pi (0.25 \, m)^{2}} =  20.3718W \, Pa
Similarly,
p_{2} =  \frac{4W}{\pi d_{2}^{2}} \, Pa

\frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}} =  \frac{20.3718 \pi d_{2}^{2}}{4} = 16 d_{2}^{2}

Because p₁/p₂ = T₁/T₂, therefore
16d_{2}^{2} =  \frac{293}{423}  \\\\ d_{2}^{2} =  \frac{0.6927}{16}  \\\\ d_{2} = 0.2081 \, m

The minimum piston diameter at 150 C is 20.8 cm.

Answer: 20.8 cm diameter
