Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound is: C14H12O4

Explanation:

Step 1: find molality

ΔT = Kf x m

ΔT = Tfinal - Tinitial = 3.37 - 5.50 = -2.13

molality (m) = ΔT/Kf = -2.13/-5.12 = 0.416 m

step 2: find number of moles

m = number of moles (n)/Kg solvent which is the benzene

n = molality x Kg solvent = 0.416 molality X (10 x 10^-3 Kg) = 0.00416 mole

Step 3: find molecular mass of the organic compound

n = mass/Molecular mass = m/Mm

Mm = m/n = 1.02/0.00416 = 245.19 g/mole of organic compound molecular formula

Step 4: find number of mole of each compound

let consider it being in 100g where each % will correspond to the mass of the element in 100g of the compound.

C = mass/molar mass = 68.85/12.01 = 5.7327 mole

H = mass/molar mass = 4.9/1.01 = 4.8515 mole

O = mass/molar mass = 26.2/16 = 1.6375 mole

Step 5: divide by smallest number of mole

C = 5.7327/1.6375 = 3.5 = 7/2

H = 4.8515/1.6375 = 3

O = 1.6375/1.6375 = 1

C7/2H3O1

multiply by two to remove the fraction: C7H6O2 in which the empirical molecular mass = 122.13 g/mole

to find the factor for the molecular formula x = Mm of molecular/Mm of empirical = 245.19/122.13 = 2

Multiply the empirical by 2 = 2 x (C7H6O2) = C14H12O4

Answer:

b) $\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

The confidence interval for this case is given (6.21, 6.59)

So we can conclude at 95% of confidence that the true mean for the PH concentration is between 6.21 and 6.59 moles per liter

c) Since the confidence interval not contains the value 7 we reject the hypothesis that the true mean is equal to 7. And the same result was obtained with the t test for the true mean.

Explanation:

We assume that part a is test the claim. And we can conduct the following hypothesis test:

Null hypothesis: $\mu =7$

Alternative hypothesis $\mu \neq 7$

The statistic is to check this hypothesi is given by:

$t = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$

We know the following info from the problem:

$\bar X = 6.4 , s=0.5, n =30$

Replacing we got:

$t = \frac{6.4-7}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{30}}}= -6.573$

And the p value would be:

$p_v= 2*P(Z$

Since the p value is very low compared to the significance assumed of 0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is equal to 7 moles/liter

Part b

The confidence interval is given by:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

The confidence interval for this case is given (6.21, 6.59)

So we can conclude at 95% of confidence that the true mean for the PH concentration is between 6.21 and 6.59 moles per liter

Part c

Since the confidence interval not contains the value 7 we reject the hypothesis that the true mean is equal to 7. And the same result was obtained with the t test for the true mean.

Devise a temperature scale, abbreviated g, for which the magnitude of the ideal gas constant is 1.00 j g–1 mol–1 .

melisa1 [442]

The value of ideal gas constant (R) in Joule is 8.314 Joule $Kelvin^{-1}$ $mol^{-1}$ . Now the given expression is 1.00 J. g $g^{-1}.mole^{-1}$ . Where the g represent the temperature. Thus the abbreviated g must have the value 8.314 to satisfy the original value. Thus the temperature scale will be 1 kelvin = 8.314 g. Now 1 kelvin = -272.15°C or in terms of abbreviation of g we can write -272.15 °C = 8.314g, or, 1°C = (-) $\frac{8.314}{272.15}=0.030$ g. Thus the temperature scale of the g scale is 1 kelvin (K) = 8.314g and 1°C = 0.030 g.

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2> $\huge\textbf{Van de Waal}$ </h2>

London Dispersion force or Van de Waals force is a temporary attractive force which are the weakest and occur between nonpolar noble gases and same charges. This force is weaker because they have more electrons that are farther from the nucleus and are able to move around easier.

Example: $N_2$ , $F_2, \ I_2$

<h2>_____________________________________</h2>

$\huge\textbf{Dipole - Dipole Forces}$

Dipole force is present between the polar molecules. Polar molecules are those molecules which have slightly negative and slightly positive charge. Dipole-dipole forces are attractive forces between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule.

Example: HCl, HF, $CHCl_3$

<h2>_____________________________________</h2>

$\huge\textbf{Hydrogen Bonding}$

It is a special type of dipole force present between polar molecules, it is formed between Hydrogen atom which forms positive ion, and the other negative ion. It results from the attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom such as a N, O, or F atom. The hydrogen bond is one of the strongest intermolecular attractions, but weaker than a covalent or an ionic bond.

Example: Every polar molecule which has hydrogen has hydrogen bonding i.e. $H_2O, NH_3$
