You are asked to determine the thermometer correction for your assigned melting point apparatus. You obtain a pure sample of ben

zoic acid and determine its melting point range carefully. After several trials, you obtain a very sharp melting point of 115.1 degrees celsius. What is the thermometer correction at this temperature? For purposes of these questions, the melting point of very pure benzoic acid is 122.4 degrees Celsius. (The thermometer correction is the value that must be added to the observed thermometer reading. You have to type in your answer with a + or - sign. )In a recrystallization of benzoic acid, you begin with a sample of 4.00 grams. After several recrystallizations, a dry sample of 2.7 grams was obtained experimentally. What was your percent recovery? (The format of your answer is important, e.g. 33.2 percent would be entered as 33.2 without any percent symbol or the word percent.)

Answer:

Question 1: -7.3ºC

Question 2: 67.50%

Explanation:

Question 1:

For different reasons a thermometer can not give the exact temperature that it is measuring, such as incorrect calibration. So the thermometer will have an error, and for this, we can have a thermometer correction, doing experiments with a substance that we know the temperature. In this question that substance was benzoic acid.

The thermometer correction (Tc) is the temperature that was measured less the real temperature, so:

Tc = 115.1 - 122.4 = -7.3ºC

It means that the temperature given by the thermometer is 7.3ºC less than the real.

Question 2:

Recrystallization is the process of transforming the liquid in its solid form (crystals). So, the sample of 4.00 grams of benzoic acid, there'll be water or other impurities. The total benzoic acid given was 2.70 grams, so its percentage will be:

(mass of acid/ total mass)x100%

(2.70/4.00)x100% = 67.50%

A scientist measures the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction to be -327.2 kJ : P4O10(s) 6 H2O(l)4H3PO4(aq) Based
OleMash [197]

Answer:

ΔH°f P4O10(s) = - 3115.795 KJ/mol

Explanation:

  • P4O10(s) + 6H2O(l) ↔ 4H3PO4(aq)
  • ΔH°rxn = ∑νiΔH°fi

∴ ΔH°rxn = - 327.2 KJ

∴ ΔH°f H2O(l) = - 285.84 KJ/mol

∴ ΔH°F H3PO4(aq) = - 1289.5088 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔH°rxn = (4)(- 1289.5088) - (6)(- 285.84) - ΔH°f P4O10(s) = - 327.2 KJ

⇒ ΔH°f P4O10(s) = - 5158.035 + 1715.04 + 327.2

⇒ ΔH°f P4O10(s) = - 3115.795 KJ/mol

1. john needs to create a buffered solution at a ph of 3.5 for his biomedical laboratory
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid  

Explanation:

John could prepare a lactate buffer.

He can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the acid/base ratio for the buffer.

\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\3.5 = 3.86 + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\\log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 3.5 - 3.86 = -0.36\\\\\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 10^{-0.36} = \mathbf{0.44}

He should use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid.

For example, he could mix equal volumes of 0.044 mol·L⁻¹ lactate and 0.1 mol·L⁻¹ lactic acid.

Arisa [49]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A - Crude oil is composed for hundreds of hydrocarbon, not less than ten.

B - Is formed in specific conditions of temperature and pressure

C - It's fractionated to form gasoline, lubricants, CH4, plastics and many other products made of hydrocarbon.

D - We have crude oil located more than 4000 yards below the surface in countries like Brazil

E - The crude oil is very thick and don't have an specific usage, so we need to refine it.

. Consider the following half-reactions:
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

d. Fe(s) and Al(s)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In the redox reaction, it is also known  

Reducing agents are substances that experience oxidation  

Oxidizing agents are substances that experience reduction

The metal activity series is expressed in voltaic series  

<em>Li-K-Ba-Ca-Na-Mg-Al-Mn- (H2O) -Zn-Cr-Fe-Cd-Co-Ni-Sn-Pb- (H) -Cu-Hg-Ag-Pt-Au  </em>

The more to the left, the metal is more reactive (easily release electrons) and the stronger reducing agent  

The more to the right, the metal is less reactive (harder to release electrons) and the stronger oxidizing agent

So that the metal located on the left can push the metal on the right in the redox reaction  

The electrodes which are easier to reduce than hydrogen (H), have E cells = +

The electrodes which are easier to oxidize than hydrogen have a sign E cell = -

So the above metals or metal ions will reduce Pb²⁺ (aq) will be located to the left of the Pb in the voltaic series or which have a more negative E cell value (greater reduction power)

The metal  : d. Fe(s) and Al(s)
