6 0

Marie curie worked as a governess and she was awarded noble prize for her discoveries.

Explanation:

When Marie curie worked as a governess for three years her employer allowed her to teach reading to the children of peasant workers at his beet sugar factory. This was banned under Russian rule. During that time she studied chemistry lessons from her father by mail.

Marie curie was awarded the Noble prize in chemistry for her discoveries and studies of elements radium and polonium. She is the only women who is awarded the Noble prize twice.

She made her first research into the treatment of tumors with radiation and founded a Curie institutes, that are important medical research centers.

A 0.1510 gram sample of a hydrocarbon produces 0.5008 gram CO2 and 0.1282 gram H2O in combustion analysis. Its
Over [174]
In a combustion of a hydrocarbon compound, 2 reactions are happening per element:

C + O₂ → CO₂
2 H + 1/2 O₂ → H₂O

Thus, we can determine the amount of C and H from the masses of CO₂ and H₂O produced, respectively.

1.) Compute for the amount of C in the compound. The data you need to know are the following:
Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol
Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol
Solution:
0.5008 g CO₂*(1 mol CO₂/ 44 g)*(1 mol C/1 mol CO₂) = 0.01138 mol C
0.01138 mol C*(12 g/mol) = 0.13658 g C

Compute for the amount of H in the compound. The data you need to know are the following:
Molar mass of H = 1 g/mol
Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol
Solution:
0.1282 g H₂O*(1 mol H₂O/ 18 g)*(2 mol H/1 mol H₂O) = 0.014244 mol H
0.014244 mol H*(1 g/mol) = 0.014244 g H

The percent composition of pure hydrocarbon would be:
Percent composition = (Mass of C + Mass of H)/(Mass of sample) * 100
Percent composition = (0.13658 g + 0.014244 g)/(<span>0.1510 g) * 100
</span>Percent composition = 99.88%

2. The empirical formula is determined by finding the ratio of the elements. From #1, the amounts of moles is:

Amount of C = 0.01138 mol
Amount of H = 0.014244 mol

Divide the least number between the two to each of their individual amounts:
C = 0.01138/0.01138 = 1
H = 0.014244/0.01138 = 1.25

The ratio should be a whole number. So, you multiple 4 to each of the ratios:
C = 1*4 = 4
H = 1.25*4 = 5

Thus, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C₄H₅.

3. The molar mass of the empirical formula is

Molar mass = 4(12 g/mol) + 5(1 g/mol) = 53 g/mol
Divide this from the given molecular weight of 106 g/mol
106 g/mol / 53 g/mol = 2
Thus, you need to multiply 2 to the subscripts of the empirical formula.

Molecular Formula = C₈H₁₀

g If 50.0 mL of a 0.75 M acetic acid solution is titrated with 1.0 M sodium hydroxide, what is the pH after 10.0 mL of NaOH have
V125BC [204]

Answer:

pH = 2.66

Explanation:

  • Acetic Acid + NaOH → Sodium Acetate + H₂O

First we <u>calculate the number of moles of each reactant</u>, using the <em>given volumes and concentrations</em>:

  • 0.75 M Acetic acid * 50.0 mL = 37.5 mmol acetic acid
  • 1.0 M NaOH * 10.0 mL = 10 mmol NaOH

We<u> calculate how many acetic acid moles remain after the reaction</u>:

  • 37.5 mmol - 10 mmol = 27.5 mmol acetic acid

We now <u>calculate the molar concentration of acetic acid after the reaction</u>:

27.5 mmol / (50.0 mL + 10.0 mL) = 0.458 M

Then we <u>calculate [H⁺]</u>, using the<em> following formula for weak acid solutions</em>:

  • [H⁺] = \sqrt{C*Ka}=\sqrt{0.458M*1.76x10^{-5}}
  • [H⁺] = 0.0028

Finally we <u>calculate the pH</u>:

  • pH = -log[H⁺]
  • pH = 2.66
