Answer:

108.25 ºC

Explanation:

The boiling point elevation for a given solute in water is given by the expression:

ΔTb = i Kbm

where ΔTb is the boiling point elevation

           i is the van´t Hoff factor

           Kb the boiling constant which for water is 0.512 ºC/molal

           m is the molality of the solution

The molality of the solution is the number of moles per kilogram of solvent. Here we run into a problem since we are not given the identity of the coolant, but a search in the literature tells you that the most typical are ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. The most common is ethylene glycol and this it the one we will using in this question.

Now the i factor in the equation above is 1 for non ionizable compounds such as ethylene glycol.

Our equation is then:

ΔTb =  Kbm

So lets calculate the molality and then ΔTb:

m = moles ethylene glycol / Kg solvent

Converting gal to L

4.90 g x 3.785 L/gal = 18.55 L

in a 50/50 blend by volume we have 9.27 L of ethylene glycol, and 9.27 L of water.

We need to convert this 9.27 l of ethylene glycol to grams assuming a solution density of 1 g/cm³

9.27 L x 1000 cm³ / L = 9273.25 cm³

mass ethylene glycol = 9273.25 cm³ x 1 g/cm³ = 9273.25 g

mol ethylene glycol = 9273.25 g/ M.W ethylene glycol

                                 = 9273.25 g / 62.07 g/mol =149.4mol

molality solution =  149.4 mol / 9.27 Kg H₂O = 16.12 m

( density of water 1 kg/L )

Finally we can calculate ΔTb:

ΔTb =  Kbm = 0.512  ºC/molal x 16.12 molal = 8.25 ºC

boiling point = 100 º C +8.25 ºC = 108.25 ºC

( You could try to solve for propylene glycol the other popular coolant which should give around 106.7 ºC )

Is this atom more likely to gain electrons or to lose electrons? Explain how you can tell
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Likely to gain electrons

Explanation:

The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.

  • Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atom has 16 electrons
  • the number of valence electrons is 6
  • If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
  • Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet

The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.

14. 60. g of NaOH is dissolved in enough distilled water to make 300 mL of a stock solution. What volumes of this solution and d
zepelin [54]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is attached below.

Answer : The volumes of stock solution and distilled water will be, 20 mL and 80 mL respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of NaOH = 60 g

Volume of stock solution = 300 mL

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

First we have to calculate the molarity of stock solution.

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaOH\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of }NaOH\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{60g\times 1000}{40g/mole\times 300mL}=5mole/L=5M

Now we have to determine the volume of stock solution and distilled water mixed.

Formula used :

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the molarity and volume of stock solution.

M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the molarity and volume of diluted solution.

From data (A) :

M_1=5M\\V_1=20mL\\M_2=1M\\V_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5M\times 20mL=1M\times V_2\\\\V_2=100mL

Volume of stock solution = 20 mL

Volume of distilled water = 100 mL - 20 mL = 80 mL

From data (B) :

M_1=5M\\V_1=20mL\\M_2=1M\\V_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5M\times 20mL=1M\times V_2\\\\V_2=100mL

Volume of stock solution = 20 mL

Volume of distilled water = 100 mL - 20 mL = 80 mL

From data (C) :

M_1=5M\\V_1=60mL\\M_2=1M\\V_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5M\times 60mL=1M\times V_2\\\\V_2=300mL

Volume of stock solution = 60 mL

Volume of distilled water = 300 mL - 60 mL = 240 mL

From data (D) :

M_1=5M\\V_1=20mL\\M_2=1M\\V_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5M\times 60mL=1M\times V_2\\\\V_2=300mL

Volume of stock solution = 60 mL

Volume of distilled water = 300 mL - 60 mL = 240 mL

From this we conclude that, when 20 mL stock solution and 80 mL distilled water mixed then it will result in a solution that is approximately 1 M NaOH.

Hence, the volumes of stock solution and distilled water will be, 20 mL and 80 mL respectively.
