The water and the spirit can be easily separated by a method called fractional distillation.

Explanation:

There are many ways of separating alcohol from water. The most common method is by heating. Water has a higher boiling point when compared to alcohol and the water can be easily evaporated into the air.
This method is called Fractional distillation. As it requires a rounded flash, a beaker, and a container. If the content is put under the heat for a certain degree celsius the water in the content is evaporated.
It is to be collected and connected to a container. At last, the alcohol and water are separated.

Mg(OH)2 is a sparingly soluble salt with a solubility product, Ksp, of 5.61×10−11. It is used to control the pH and provide nutr

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The ration of the molar solubility is 165068.49.

Explanation:

The solubility reaction of the magnesium hydroxide in the pure water is as follows.

$Mg(OH)_{2}\Leftrightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+2(OH)^{-}(aq)$

$[Mg^{2+}][OH^{-}]$

Initial 0 0

Equili +S +2S

Final S 2S

$K_{sp}=[Mg^{2+}][OH^{-}]$

$5.61\times 10^{-11}=(S)(2S)^{2}$

$S=(\frac{5.61\times 10^{-11}}{4})^{1/3}=2.41\times 10^{-4}M$

Solubility of $Mg(OH)_{2}$ in 0.180 M NaOH is a follows.

$Mg(OH)_{2}\Leftrightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+2(OH)^{-}(aq)$

$[Mg^{2+}][OH^{-}]$

Initial 0 0

Equili +S +2S

Final S 2S+0.180M

$K_{sp}=[Mg^{2+}][OH^{-}]$

$5.61\times 10^{-11}=(S)(2S+0.180)^{2}$

$S=1.46\times 10^{-9}M$

$Ratio\,of\,solubility=\frac{2.41\times 10^{-4}}{1.46\times 10^{-9}}=165068.49$

Therefore, The ration of the molar solubility is 165068.49.

The partial pressure of N2 in a mixture of gases, where the total pressure is 1.50 atm, is 300. torr. What is the mole fraction

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The mole fraction of N₂ is 0.26.

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture is known as its partial pressure. So, Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone:

PT = PA + PB

This relationship is due to the assumption that there are no attractive forces between the gases.

Dalton's partial pressure law can also be expressed in terms of the mole fraction of the gas in the mixture. The mole fraction is a dimensionless quantity that expresses the ratio of the number of moles of a component to the number of moles of all the components present.

So in a mixture of two or more gases, the partial pressure of gas A can be expressed as:

PA = XA * PT

In this case:

PA= PN₂= 300 torr
XA=XN₂= ?
PT= 1.50 atm= 1140 torr (being 1 atm= 760 torr)

Replacing:

300 torr= XN₂*1140 torr

Solving:

$X_{N_{2} } =\frac{300 torr}{1140 torr}$

XN₂= 0.26

The mole fraction of N₂ is 0.26.

Describe what is meant by physical properties Using a salt water solution , describe how one could change two different physical

kkurt [141]

Answer: Changing the amount of solute and volume of solvent we can change physical properties of the given salt water solution.

Explanation:

Physical properties are defined as the properties which does not cause any change in chemical composition of a substance. For example, density, mass, volume, etc are all physical properties.

When we take a salt water solution then on adding more amount of salt into the water there will occur change in density of the solution as density is mass present per liter of solution.

Also, if we add more amount of solvent then there will occur change in volume of the solution.

Hence, in both the cases physical properties of the solution are changing and no change in its chemical composition is taking place.
