Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that in gases, molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. As a result, they move far apart from each other and attain high kinetic energy.

This causes more number of collisions between the molecules of a gas.

On the other hand, in a solid substance molecules are much more closer to each other because of strong intermolecular forces of attraction. This causes the solids to have least kinetic energy and definite shape and volume.

Hence, we can conclude that the statement molecules in a gas move faster than in a solid, best explains why water vapor has more energy than a block of ice.

One method of removing phosphate from wastewater effluents is to precipitate it with aluminum sulfate. A plausible stoichiometry

Viktor [21]

Answer: The equation is written below.

Explanation:

$2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq)\rightarrow 2AlPO_4(s)+3SO_4^{2-}(aq)$

According to Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of phosphate ions reacts with 1 mole of aluminum sulfate to produce 2 moles of aluminum phosphate precipitate and 3 moles of sulfate ions.

Aluminum phosphate is an odorless and white crystalline solid

The chemical equation is written above.

A buffer contains 0.18 mol of propionic acid (C2H5COOH) and 0.26 mol of sodium propionate (C2H5COONa) in 1.20 L. What is the pH

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

1) pH = 5.05

2) pH = 5.13

3) pH = 4.97

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of propionic acid = 0.18 moles

Number of moles sodium propionate = 0.26 moles

Volume = 1.20 L

Ka = 1.3 * 10^-5 → pKa = 4.989

Step 2: Calculate concentrations

Concentration = moles / volume

[acid]= 0.18/ 1.2 =0.150 M

[salt]= 0.26/ 1.3 = 0.217 M

pH = 4.89 + log(0.217/0.150)=5.05

What is the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.02 mol of NaOH?

moles acid = 0.18 - 0.02 = 0.16

[acid]= 0.16/ 1.2=0.133 M

moles salt = 0.26 + 0.02 = 0.28

[salt]= 0.28/ 12=0.233

pH = 4.89 + log 0.233/ 0.133 = 5.13

What is the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.02 mol of HI?

moles acid = 0.18+ 0.02 = 0.20 moles

[acid]= 0.20/ 1.2 = 0.167 M

[salt]= 0.26 - 0.02= 0.24 moles

[salt]= 0.24/ 1.2 = 0.20 M

pH = 4.89 + log 0.20/ 0.167= 4.97

A bomb calorimetric experiment was run to determine the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol. The reaction is The bomb had a heat c

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the bomb and water is equal to the product of the heat capacity and the temperature change. Working with this equation, and assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings, we write :

qcal= Ccal × ΔT= 490 J/K × 276.7 K= 135,583 J = 135.58 kJ

Note we expressed the temperature change in K, because the heat capacity is written in K.

Now that we have the heat of combustion, we need to calculate the molar heat.

Because qsystem = qrxn + qcal and qrxn = -qcal, the heat change of the reaction is -135.58 kJ.

This is the heat released by the combustion of 4.40 g of ethanol ; therefore, we can write the conversion factor as 135.58 kJ/ 4.40 g.

The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g, so the heat of combustion of 1 mole of ethanol is :

molar heat of combustion= -135.58 kJ/4.40 g x 46.07 g/ 1 mol= -1419.58 kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58 kJ/mol.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

C24H50

Explanation:

The empirical fomula's molar mass is 169.25 g/mol.

We know the molecular formula's molar mass is 338 g/mol.

338/169.25= 1.99 or approximately 2
