Answer:

<u>Optical purity = 76.9231 %</u>

<u>Specific rotation of mixture = - 97.6923 °</u>

Explanation:

The mass of the racemic mixture = 3 g

It means it contains R enantiomer = 1.5 g

S enantiomer = 1.5 g

Amount of Pure R = 10 g

Total R = 11.5 g

Total volume = 500 mL + 500 mL = 1000 mL = 1 L

[R] = 11.5 g/L

[S] = 1.5 g/L

Enantiomeric excess = \frac {Excess}{Total\ Concentration}\times 100 = \frac {11.5-1.5}{11.5+1.5}\times 100 = 76.9231 %

<u>Optical purity = 76.9231 %</u>

Also,

Optical purity = \frac {optical\ rotation\ of\ mixture}{optical\ rotation\ of\ pure\ enantiomer}\times 100

Optical rotation of pure enantiomer = −127 °

76.9231=\frac {optical\ rotation\ of\ mixture}{-127^0}\times 100

<u>Specific rotation of mixture = - 97.6923 °</u>

Three different samples were on different types of balance for each sample. The three were found to weigh 0.1568934 ko. 1.215 mg
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Option d. 2615.0g

Explanation:

Let M1, M2, and M3 represent the masses of the three different samples

M1 = 0.1568934 kg = 156.8934g

M2 = 1.215mg = 1.215x10^-3 = 0.001215g

M3 = 2458.1g

Total Mass = M1 + M2 + M3

Total Mass = 156.8934 + 0.001215 + 2458.1

Total Mass = 2614.994651g

Total Mass = 2615.0g

C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l), ΔH = –1.37 × 103 kJ For the combustion of ethyl alcohol as described in the above equati
babymother [125]

Answer:

The true statements are: I. The reaction is exothermic.

II. The enthalpy change would be different if gaseous water was produced.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction: C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l),  ΔH= -1.37×10³kJ

1. In an exothermic reaction, heat or energy is released from the system to the surrounding. Thus for an exothermic process the change in enthalpy is less than 0 or negative (ΔH < 0) .

Since the enthalpy change for a combustion reaction is negative. <u>Therefore, the given reaction is exothermic.</u>

2. The change in enthalpy (ΔH) of a reaction is equal to difference of the sum of standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf°) of the products and the reactants.

ΔHr° = ∑ n.ΔHf°(products) − ∑ n.ΔHf°(reactants)

As the value of ΔHf° of water in gaseous state and liquid state is not the same.

<u>Therefore, the enthalpy change of the reaction will be different, if gaseous water was present instead of liquid water.</u>

3. An oxidation-reduction reaction or a redox reaction involves simultaneous reduction and oxidation processes.

The given chemical reaction, represents the combustion reaction of ethanol.

Since combustion reactions are redox reactions. <u>Therefore, the given combustion reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction.</u>

4. According to the ideal gas equation: P.V =n.R.T

Volume (V) ∝ n (number of moles of gas)

Since the number of moles (n) of gaseous reactants is 3 and number of moles of gaseous (n) products is 2.

<u>Therefore, the volume occupied by 3 moles of the reactant gaseous molecules will be more than 2 moles product gaseous molecules.</u>

The lowest value of the henry's law for methane gas (ch4) will be obtained with __________ as the solvent and a temperature of _
NikAS [45]

The lowest value of the henry's law for methane gas (CH₄) will be obtained with H₂O as the solvent and a temperature of  349 K.

The lowest value of the henry's law for methane gas (CH₄) will be obtained with H₂O as the solvent and a temperature of 349 K.  

Henry's law: This law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas that in equilibrium with that liquid.

Mathematically it can be written as:

          C_{g}=k\times P_{g}

So, for the methane gas , lowest value of the henry's law obtained at  349 K and with H₂O as the solvent.
