Physical properties

the characteristics (properties) that can be observed without changing the identity of a substance

Examples of physical properties

Answer:

Melting point

Density

Explanation:

The mass of any two substance can be same so we can distinguish between one Kg of two different substances based on masses.

The volume is again cannot determine the nature of substance.

Similarly with the state of matter we can rule out some possibilities but it cannot be used to identify the nature of a substance.

However melting point is characteristic of a substance. It can be used to identify the unknown substance. In fact in organic chemistry it is one of the property which helps us to determine the nature of compound.

Density can also be used to identify a compound.

Consider a sample of 10.0 g of the gaseous hydrocarbon C2H6 to answer the following question: How many moles are present in this

Masja [62]

Answer: The moles of given hydrocarbon is 0.3 moles

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

We are given:

Given mass of ethane = 10.0 g

Molar mass of ethane = $[(2\times 12)+(6\times 1)]=30g/mol$

We need to divide the given value by the molar mass.

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ethane}=\frac{10.0g}{30g/mol}=0.3mol$

In case of multiplication and division, the number of significant digits is taken from the value which has least precise significant digits. Here, the least precise number of significant digits are 1.

Hence, the moles of given hydrocarbon is 0.3 moles
