8 0

Answer & Explanation:

Orbitals are made up of subshells- s, p, d, f.

Each subshell can only accommodate a certain number of electrons:

s- 2 electrons

p- 6 electrons

d- 10 electrons

f- 14 electrons.

The subshells are used to denote the element by spelling out its electronic configuration.

What are the advantages of using digital signals over analog signals?

Studentka2010 [4]

in digital signals, codes are used while in analogue signals do not use signals.

<h3>What are signals?</h3>

Signals are defined as the instructions which are transferred to another source in other to deliver a message.

There are two types of signals which include the digital and analogue signals.

The digital signals uses codes which is a secret way of sending messages while analogue doesn't use codes.

Standard temperature and pressure (STP), in the context of gases, refers to a) 298.15 K and 1 atm b) 273.15 K and 1 atm c) 298.1

lina2011 [118]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 273.15 K and 1 atm

Explanation :

STP : STP stands for standard temperature and pressure.

STP conditions :

The temperature is, $0^oC$ or $273.15K$ or $32^oF$

The pressure is, $1atm$ or $101.325kPa$

The volume is 22.4 L for 1 mole of a substance.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) 273.15 K and 1 atm

A mysterious white powder could be powdered sugar (C12H22O11), cocaine (C17H21NO4), codeine (C18H21NO3), norfenefrine (C8H11NO2)

Norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂).

We will solve a case related to one of the colligative properties, namely freezing point depression.

The freezing point of the solution is the temperature at which the solution begins to freeze. The difference between the freezing point of the solvent and the freezing point of the solution is called freezing point depression.

$\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = T_f(solvent) - T_f(solution) \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = K_f \times molality \ }$

<u>Given:</u>

A mysterious white powder could be,

powdered sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) with a molar mass of 342.30 g/moles,
cocaine (C₁₇H₂₁NO₄) with a molar mass of 303.35 g/moles,
codeine (C₁₈H₂₁NO₃) with a molar mass of 299.36 g/moles,
norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂) with a molar mass of 153.18 g/moles, or
fructose (C₆H₁₂O₆) with a molar mass of 180.16 g/moles.

When 82 mg of the powder is dissolved in 1.50 mL of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/cm³, normal freezing point −114.6°C, Kf = 1.99°C/m), the freezing point is lowered to −115.5°C.

<u>Question: </u>What is the identity of the white powder?

<u>The Process:</u>

Let us identify the solute, the solvent, initial, and final temperatures.

The solute = the powder
The solvent = ethanol
The freezing point of the solvent = −114.6°C
The freezing point of the solution = −115.5°C

Prepare masses of solutes and solvents.

Mass of solute = 82 mg = 0.082 g
Mass of solvent = density x volume, i.e., $\boxed{ \ 0.789 \ \frac{g}{cm^3} \times 1.50 \ cm^3 = 1.1835 \ g = 0.00118 \ kg \ }$

We must prepare the solvent mass unit in kg because the unit of molality is the mole of the solute divided by the mass of the solvent in kg.

The molality formula is as follows:

$\boxed{ \ m = \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{kg \ of \ solvent} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }$

Now we combine it with the formula of freezing point depression.

$\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = K_f \times \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }$

It is clear that we will determine the molar mass of the solute (denoted by Mr).

We enter all data into the formula.

$\boxed{ \ -114.6^0C - (-115.5^0C) = 1.99 \frac{^0C}{m} \times \frac{0.082 \ g}{Mr \times 0.00118 \ kg} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 0.9 = \frac{1.99 \times 0.082}{Mr \times 0.00118} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ Mr = \frac{0.16318}{0.9 \times 0.00118} \ }$

We get $\boxed{ \ Mr = 153.65 \ }$

These results are very close to the molar mass of norfenefrine which is 153.18 g/mol. Thus the white powder is norfenefrine.
