explain why it is a common laboratory procedure to heat analytical reagents and store them in a dessicated atmosphere (a sealed

environment containing a dehumidifying agent) before use.

Explanation:

Most reagent forms are going to absorb water from the air; they're called "hygroscopic".  Water presence can have a drastic impact on the experiment being performed  For fact, it increases the reagent's molecular weight, meaning that anything involving a very specific molarity (the amount of molecules in the final solution) will not function properly.

Heating will help to eliminate water, although some chemicals don't react well to heat, so it shouldn't be used for all.  A dessicated environment is simply a means to  "dry."  That allows the reagent with little water in the air to attach with.

9. According to an "alternative theory", H2O is
Jlenok [28]

Answer:(4) ----accepts  a proton

Explanation:

H2O water can produce both hydrogen and   hydroxide ions

H2O --> H+ + OH-

According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, it can be a proton donor and a proton acceptor.this means that It can donate a hydrogen ion to become its conjugate base, or  can accept a hydrogen ion to form its conjugate acid,

When , a water molecule, H2O accepts a proton it will act as a Brønsted-Lowry base especially when dissolved in a strong acidic medium. for eg

HCl + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + Cl−(aq)

Here, Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and ionizes completely in  water, since it is more acidic than water, the water will act as a base.

In this experiment you will create solutions with different ratios of ethanol and water. What is the mole fraction of ethanol wh
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The mole fraction of ethanol is 0.6. A 10 mL volumetric pipette must be used for to measure the 10 mL of ethanol. The vessel should be clean and purged.

Explanation:

For calculating mole fraction of ethanol, the amount of moles ethanol must be calculated. Using ethanol density (0.778 g/mL), 10 mL of ethanol equals to 7.89 g of ethanol and in turn 0.17 moles of ethanol. The same way for calculate the amount of water moles (ethanol density=0.997 g/mL). 2 mL of water correspond to 0.11. The total moles are: 0.17+0.11=0.28. Mole fraction alcohol is: 0.17/0.28=0.6

The vapor pressure of water at 65oC is 187.54 mmHg. What is the vapor pressure of a ethylene glycol (CH2(OH)CH2(OH)) solution ma
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

173.83 mmHg is the vapor pressure of a ethylene glycol solution.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure of water at 65 °C=p_o= 187.54 mmHg

Vapor pressure of the solution at 65 °C= p_s

The relative lowering of vapor pressure of solution in which non volatile solute is dissolved is equal to mole fraction of solute in the solution.

Mass of ethylene glycol = 22.37 g

Mass of water in a solution = 82.21 g

Moles of water=n_1=\frac{82.21 g}{18 g/mol}=4.5672 mol

Moles of ethylene glycol=n_2=\frac{22.37 g}{62.07 g/mol}=0.3603 mol

\frac{p_o-p_s}{p_o}=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}

\frac{187.54 mmHg-p_s}{187.54 mmHg}=\frac{0.3603 mol}{0.3603 mol+4.5672 mol}

p_s=173.83 mmHg

173.83 mmHg is the vapor pressure of a ethylene glycol solution.
