The technique which is used to purify the chemicals is said to be recrystallization.

In this process, solute is dissolved in a particular solvent and according to its principle, the quantity of solute which is dissolved by solvent increases with increase in temperature. The solutes are more soluble at high temperatures in comparison to room temperature (insoluble) or low temperature. Therefore, heating is needed to dissolve the solute in the solvent.

Now, in the case of hexane or diethyl ether, flameless heating is required because of their low boiling points implies if they heat directly on fire, then they have tendency to catch fire. Thus, hexane and diethyl ether are highly flammable.

A 250. ML sample of 0.3M HCl is partially neutralized by the addition of 100. ML of 0.25M NaOH.Find the concentration of hydroch

GuDViN [60]

Answer:- 0.143 M

Solution:- HCl and NaOH reacts in 1:1 mol ratio as shown in the below reaction:

$HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)\rightleftharpoons NaCl(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Let's calculate the initial moles of HCl and the moles of NaOH added to it:

$250.mL(\frac{1L}{1000mL})(\frac{0.3molHCl}{1L})$

= 0.075 mol HCl

$100.mL(\frac{1L}{1000mL})(\frac{0.25molNaOH}{1L})$

= 0.025 mol NaOH

Since they react in 1:1 mol ratio, 0.025 mol of NaOH will react with 0.025 moles of HCl.

Remaining moles of HCl = 0.075 - 0.025 = 0.050

Total volume of the solution = 0.250 L + 0.100 L = 0.350 L

So, the concentration of HCl in the resulting solution = $\frac{0.050mol}{0.350L}$

= 0.143 M

Hence, the concentration of HCl acid in the resulting solution is 0.143 M.

If objects at the same distance suddenly decreased in mass the gravitational force between them would

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Gravitational force is also decreases.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of an object and inversely properly to the distance between their centres. Directly means if one increases the other automatically increases or if one decreases, the other also decreases. There is a direct relationship between mass and gravitational force so if mass of the bodies decrease, the gravitational force is also decreases.
