Answer:

The student conclude that the sample of benzoic acid is impure.

Explanation:

The observed melting point of benzoic acid when a student melts his/her sample is low than the actual value. The reason for this might be:

(a) <u>The most probable reason is that the sample is impure. Impurities in the sample leads to lowering the value of the melting point.</u> The reason for the phenomenon is that when impurity is present in the compound, the pattern of the crystal lattice disturbs and thus it less amount of heat is require to break the lattice.

(b) There may be some experimental errors like:

  1. Non-uniform heating of the sample
  2. The sample is not tightly filled in the capillary if the student is    following Kjeldahl's flask method.
  3. If the student is using melting point machine, there there might be some instrumental errors.

<u>The student conclude that the sample is impure.</u>

Explain why gases condense when they are cooled
Sindrei [870]
We can explain this in a molecular level. We know that the difference between a gas and a liquid of the same composition is how fast their molecules are moving. So given a gas, their molecules are farther and faster when moving, but when they are cooled their bulk kinetic energy decreases. In other words their molecules start to move closer and move slower until it behaves more like a liquid molecule. This is the time when gases condense.

What is the molar mass of just the O in CO2?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

16 g/mol

Explanation:

In CO2, it means we have 1 mole of carbon and 2 moles of oxygen.

However, we want to find the molar mass of just a single mole of oxygen.

Now, from tables of values of elements in electronic configuration, the molar mass of oxygen is usually approximately 16 g/mol.

In essence the molar mass is simply the atomic mass in g/mol
