Old wives tale

Explanation:

This is an old wives tale and not scientifically correct.

Water is liquid that is known to freeze at 0° C.

The boiling point of water is also 100° C.

  • If the farmer sprays the cherries on the tree with water, it suggests that they will freeze faster because water has high freezing point compared to that of the cherry.
  • This will not in any way protect the cherries on the tree.
  • To prevent the cherries from freezing, he should spray them with something that has lower freezing point.

A solution is prepared from 4.5701 g of magnesium chloride and 43.238 g of water. The vapor pressure of water above this solutio
balandron [24]

Answer:

i = 2.483

Explanation:

The vapour pressure lowering formula is:

Pₐ = Xₐ×P⁰ₐ <em>(1)</em>

For electrolytes:

Pₐ = nH₂O / (nH₂O + inMgCl₂)×P⁰ₐ

Where:

Pₐ is vapor pressure of solution (<em>0.3624atm</em>), nH₂O are moles of water, nMgCl₂ are moles of MgCl₂, i is Van't Hoff Factor, Xₐ is mole fraction of solvent and P⁰ₐ is pressure of pure solvent (<em>0.3804atm</em>)

4.5701g of MgCl₂ are:

4.5701g ₓ (1mol / 95.211g) = 0.048000 moles

43.238g of water are:

43.238g ₓ (1mol / 18.015g) = 2.400 moles

Replacing in (1):

0.3624atm = 2,4mol / (2.4mol + i*0.048mol)×0.3804atm

0.3624atm / 0.3804atm = 2,4mol / (2.4mol + i*0.048mol)

2.4mol + i*0.048mol = 2.4mol / 0.9527

2.4mol + i*0.048mol = 2.5192mol

i*0.048mol = 2.5192mol - 2.4mol

i = 0.1192mol / 0.048mol

<em>i = 2.483</em>

When a nonmetal oxide reacts with water, it forms an oxoacid with the same oxidation number as the nonmetal. Give the name and f
vaieri [72.5K]

Addition of chlorine to water gives both hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hypochlorous acid (HClO)

What are Transition metal oxides ?

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are another class of nanomaterials, frequently used as anode in alkaline batteries due to their distinctive properties such as abundant active sites, short diffusion pathways, low preparation cost, high theoretical capacity and distinct reaction mechanism.

Cl2 + H2O ⇌ HClO + HCl

Cl2 + 4 OH− ⇌ 2 ClO− + 2 H2O + 2 e−

Cl2 + 2 e− ⇌ 2 Cl−

The acid can also be prepared by dissolving dichlorine monoxide in water; under standard aqueous conditions, anhydrous hypochlorous acid is currently impossible to prepare due to the readily reversible equilibrium between it and its anhydride.

2 HClO ⇌ Cl2O + H2O      K (at 0 °C) = 3.55×10−3 dm3 mol−1

The presence of light or transition metal oxides of copper, nickel, or cobalt accelerates the exothermic decomposition into hydrochloric acid and oxygen

2 Cl2 + 2 H2O → 4 HCl + O2
