<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass percentage of CH_4 = 20 %

So, mole fraction of CH_4 = 0.2

Mass percentage of C_2H_4 = 30 %

So, mole fraction of C_2H_4 = 0.3

Mass percentage of C_2H_2 = 35 %

So, mole fraction of C_2H_2 = 0.35

Mass percentage of C_2H_2O = 15 %

So, mole fraction of C_2H_2O = 0.15

We know that:

Molar mass of CH_4 = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of C_2H_4 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of C_2H_2 = 26 g/mol

Molar mass of C_2H_2O = 48 g/mol

To calculate the average molecular mass of the mixture, we use the equation:

\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{_{i=1}^n\sum{\chi_im_i}}{n_i}

where,

\chi_i = mole fractions of i-th species

m_i = molar masses of i-th species

n_i = number of observations

Putting values in above equation:

\text{Average molecular weight}=\frac{(\chi_{CH_4}\times M_{CH_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_4}\times M_{C_2H_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_2}\times M_{C_2H_2})+(\chi_{C_2H_2O}\times M_{C_2H_2O})}{4}

\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{(0.20\times 16)+(0.30\times 28)+(0.35\times 26)+(0.15\times 42)}{4}\\\\\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=6.75

Hence, the correct answer is Option d.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

V_1=23.3~mL

Explanation:

In this case, we have a dilution problem. We have to remember that in the dilution procedure we go from a solution with higher concentration to a solution with lesser concentration. Therefore we have to start with the dilution equation:

C_1*V_1=C_2*V_2

Now we can identify the variables:

C_1=~1.475_M

V_1=~?

C_2=~0.1374_M

V_2=~250.0~mL

If we plug all the values into the equation:

1.475_M*V_1=0.1374_M*250.0~mL

And we solve for V_1:

V_1=\frac{0.1374_M*250.0~mL}{1.475_M}

V_1=23.3~mL

I hope it helps!

Which is the strongest acid listed in the table?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Hydrofluoric acid.

Explanation:

To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:

1. Acetic acid

Ka = 1.8x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5

pKa = 4.74

2. Benzoic acid

Ka = 6.5x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5

pKa = 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid.

Ka = 6.8x10^-4

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4

pKa = 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid

Ka = 3.0x10^-8

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8

pKa = 7.52

Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.

The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:

Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa

1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74

2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52

From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.
