Question 1 :

To determine whether the salt is KCl or KNO3, one should look for the difference between them in terms of their physicochemical properties, such as their solubility.

Since we have the solubilité of KCl and KNO3, we can use the property of solubility to determine if the mystery salt is KCl or KNO3.

Question 2:

We will try to reproduce the conditions to determine the solubility of the salt at 37°C.

We will put into the beaker 100ml of water (equivalent to 100g) and dissolve a defined quantity of the salt (the number should be between the solubility of the KCl (37g) and KNO3 (30g) so between 30g and 37g).

Let's dissolve for example 32g of the salt, then, heat with the hotplate until the temperature of the beaker content will be 35 ° C (use the thermometer to determine the exact temperature).

Why?

This manipulation aims to determine the solubility of our mystery salt to know if it is KNO3 or KCl. In our conditions, we will obtain two different possibilities depending on if the salt is KCl or KNO3, this justifies why we took a quantity between 30g and 37g of salt.

If it is KNO3 (solubility of 30g/ml) we will observe a precipitation in the beaker because we exceed its solubility.

If it is KCl (37g/100) we will not observe a precipitate since we did not attempt the solubility of KCl

Question 3:

Finally to determine the composition of salt: we know that the solubility of KCL is 37g / 100ml (that is to say if we dissolve a higher mass (38g for example), we will observe a precipitation of salt) and that the solubility of KNO3 is 30g / 100ml (that is to say if we dissolve an upper mass (32g for example), we will observe a precipitation of salt)

In our experiment, 32g of salts were dissolved. If it is KCl, we will not observe a precipitate since the minimum concentration to start having a precipitate is not yet reached (37g / 100ml).

If it is KNO3, a precipitate will be observed since the minimum concentration to start having a precipitate is not yet reached (30g / 100ml).

How many total electrons are shared between two nitrogen atoms when they bond to form a diatomic nitrogen molecule?

GuDViN [60]

Explanation:

Diatomic Nitrogen molecule means the two atoms of nitrogen $N_{2}$ .

A single nitrogen contains 5 electrons in its valence shell which has 3 single electrons and one pair of electron. When the bond is being made the three single electrons makes the covalent bond with the 3 electrons of other atom which results in 3 pairs . The total electrons shared between the atoms are 3 pairs (6 electrons) . while when it completes the octate the $N_{2}$ is formed.

Nitrogen is colorless, odorless, tasteless and the inert diatomic gas.Nitrogen combines of near about 78% of Earth's atmosphere.It is non-flammable which does not support combustion , it occurs in all living organisms. Nitrogen is used in most of the Biological processes and also used in the formation of fertilizers, in the form of ammonia and ammonia based compounds.It is also used in Chemical Industries for making nylon , explosives, dyes and etc. The breathing of Nitrogen is deadly, as it displaces the oxygen.

During the reaction of 2-methyl-2-butanol with the nucleophile-solvent mixture two layers are formed after shaking the reaction

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Top layer is Organic (CH2Cl2 and product)

Explanation:

In a solvent mixture, there are usually two phases, the organic phase and the aqueous phase.

It is usual that the organic phase is almost always less dense than the aqueous phase hence the organic phase tend to remain on top of the aqueous phase.

Hence, the top layer is expected to be the organic CH2Cl2 and product.

Quantum numbers arise naturally from the mathematics used to describe the possible states of an electron in an atom. The four qu

ad-work [718]

Answer:

The allowable values for the principle quantum number (n) are integers greater than zero.

The allowable values for the angular momentum quantum number (l) are integers from 0 to n-1.

The allowable values for the magnetic quantum number (ml) are integers from -l to l.

The allowable values for the spin quantum number (ms) are -1/2 and 1/2.

Explanation:

Identify allowable combinations of quantum numbers for an electron. Select all that apply.

The allowable values for the principle quantum number (n) are integers greater than zero. TRUE. The principal quantum number (n) represents the level of energy in which an electron is and can take positive integer values.

The allowable values for the angular momentum quantum number (l) are integers from 0 to n-1. TRUE. The angular quantum number (l) represents the sublevel of energy and the kind of orbital an electron is in and can take integer values from 0 to n-1. For instance, if n = 1, l can take the value "0", which represents the sublevel and orbital "s".

The allowable values for the magnetic quantum number (ml) are integers from -l to l. TRUE. The magnetic quantum number (ml) represents the orientation of an orbital in space and can take integers values from -l to +l. For instance, if l = 1 (p orbital), ml can take the values -1, 0 and 1, which refer to orbitals px, py and pz.

The allowable values for the spin quantum number (ms) are -1/2 and 1/2. TRUE. The spin quantum number (ms) represents the spin of the electron and can take values -1/2 and +1/2.
