Answer:
The half-cells separate the oxidation half-reaction from the reduction half-reaction and make it possible for current to flow through an external wire.
Explanation:
Answer:
1.12g/mol
Explanation:
The freezing point depression of a solvent for the addition of a solute follows the equation:
ΔT = Kf*m*i
<em>Where ΔT is change in temperature (Benzonitrile freezing point: -12.82°C; Freezing point solution: 13.4°C)</em>
<em>ΔT = 13.4°C - (-12.82) = 26.22°C</em>
<em>m is molality of the solution</em>
<em>Kf is freezing point depression constant of benzonitrile (5.35°Ckgmol⁻¹)</em>
<em>And i is Van't Hoff factor (1 for all solutes in benzonitrile)</em>
Replacing:
26.22°C = 5.35°Ckgmol⁻¹*m*1
4.90mol/kg = molality of the compound X
As the mass of the solvent is 100g = 0.100kg:
4.9mol/kg * 0.100kg = 0.490moles
There are 0.490 moles of X in 551mg = 0.551g, the molar mass (Ratio of grams and moles) is:
0.551g / 0.490mol
= 1.12g/mol
<em>This result has no sense but is the result by using the freezing point of the solution = 13.4°C. Has more sense a value of -13.4°C.</em>
It is advisable not to wash the thermometer and hot water because it made cause the thermometer to break and mercury to leak out from it... it can also damage the accuracy of the thermometer
