A solution that contains 55.0 g of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) in 250. g of water freezes at –2.34°C. Calculate the molar mass (in

Answer:

M=174.87g/mol

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we consider the depression in the freezing point as:

\Delta T=-i*m*Kf

Whereas the van't hoff factor for ascorbic acid is 1 since it is covalent, thus, we solve for the molality as shown below:

(-2.34-0)\°C=-m*1.86\°C/m\\\\m=\frac{-2.34\°C}{-1.86\°C/m} =1.26m

Next, since molal units are mol/kg, we can compute the present moles of ascorbic acid in the 250 g (0.25kg) of water:

n=1.26mol/kg*0.25kg=0.315mol

Finally, the molar mass with the given 55.0 g of ascorbic acid:

M=\frac{55.0g}{0.315mol}\\ \\M=174.87g/mol

Regards.

A certain metal M forms a soluble sulfate salt MSO, Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 3.0
dimaraw [331]

Explanation:

It is known that for high concentration of M^{2+}, reduction will take place. As, cathode has a positive charge and it will be placed on left hand side.

Now, E^{o}_{cell} = 0 and the general reaction equation is as follows.

         M^{2+} + M \rightarrow M + M^{2+}

                3.00 M        n = 2       30 mM

         E = 0 - \frac{0.0591}{2} log \frac{50 \times 10^{-3}}{1}

            = -\frac{0.0591}{2} log (5 \times 10^{-2})

            = 0.038 V

Therefore, we can conclude that voltage shown by the voltmeter is 0.038 V.

How is the behavior of electrons in an ionic bond different from the behavior of electrons in a covalent bond?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Electrons are transferred in an ionic bond"

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas. The shared electron pair is common to the two atoms and holds them together.

An ionic bond is produced between metallic and non-metallic atoms, where electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. During this process, one atom loses electrons and another one gains them, forming ions. Usually, the metal gives up its electrons forming a cation to the nonmetal element, which forms an anion.

In conclusion, chemical bonds are made so that atoms can have their entire outer layer, and thus have a stable electronic configuration. In the ionic bond, when the metallic atom has only one electron in its outer layer and the non-metallic one needs an electron to complete its layer; The metallic atom seats its electron to the non-metallic one. In the same way, the electron is shared in the covalent bond in order to achieve equilibrium.  

Then, the main differences between the two bonds are that the ionic bond occurs between two different atoms (metallic and non-metallic), while the covalent bond occurs between two equal atoms (non-metallic). And in the covalent bond there is an electron compartment, while in the ionic bond there is an electron transfer.

So, the correct answer is "Electrons are transferred in an ionic bond"

Which element is a liquid at STP?<br> (1) bromine (3) francium<br> (2) cesium (4) iodine
ollegr [7]
Among the choices, bromine exists as liquid under standard temperature and pressure conditions. Unlike other diatomic molecules which exist as gases, due to its heavy molecular weight, it exists as solid. Francium and cesium are solids while iodine is gas.Answer is 1.
