The carbon atom is uniquely suited to building large molecules primarily because of its valence electron count of 4 - which means it can bound up to 4 atoms (single bonds) simultaneously. Also, it has a relatively low molecular weight and the best part is that it forms covalent bonds (stable, high energy bonds) with other, non-metallic atoms.

A dark purple liquid is diluted by adding water.
alexandr402 [8]

Answer: The process is diffusion.

Explanation:

a dark liquid will have the highest concentration of dark purple atoms/molecules so it gives a concentrated colour.

when water is added to it, the colourless water molecules fill up the gaps between the purple particles and so their colour fades and becomes lighter and lighter as we add more water. see the image attached where imagine the red particles are water and the blue particles are purple particles. thats why the colour fades.

1 lb of CO2 occupies 0.6 ft^3 at a pressure of 200 psi. Determine the temperature of the system.
Anarel [89]

<u>Answer:</u> The temperature of the system is 273 K

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}  

Given mass of carbon dioxide = 1 lb = 453.6 g   (Conversion factor: 1 lb = 453.6 g)

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of carbon dioxide}=\frac{453.6g}{44g/mol}=10.31mol

To calculate the temperature of gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of carbon dioxide = 200 psia = 13.6 atm   (Conversion factor:  1 psia = 0.068 atm)

V = Volume of carbon dioxide = 0.6ft^3=16.992L    (Conversion factor:  1ft^3=28.32L )

n = number of moles of carbon dioxide = 10.31 mol

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the system = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

13.6atm\times 16.992L=10.31mol\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times T\\\\T=273K

Hence, the temperature of the system is 273 K
