Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) when added to the solution would give the highest pH

Explanation:

Bases or Alkali are associated with high pH while Acidic substances are represented by lower pH value.

In the given option

HCl- is a strong acid hence would have pH less than 7

H2SO4- also an acid with a pH less than 7

KOH- base with a pH higher than 7

H20-neutral compound with pH as 7

KOH is a very strong base and dissociates in aqueous solution to give it's corresponding metallic ion and hydroxyl ions (OH-) which are characteristic property of any base.

Compare the type of change that occurs when an iron bar rusts and when a substance freezes.

Ivanshal [37]

Explanation:

when an iron bar rust is an example of a chemical change in which a new substance is formed and the change is not easily reversible.for iron to rust moisture and air must be present.while when a substance freezes,it can be easily reversed through melting and no new substance is formed.this change is termed a physical change.

c) A substance has a high melting point and conducts electricity. What type of structure does it have

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Metallic structure

Explanation:

They have a high melting point due to the strong forces of attraction between the positive ions (cations) and the delocalised electrons. Moreover, they conduct electricity due to the sea of delocalised electrons.

<em>[Extra: It could be an ionic compound since they also have a high melting point, however they only conduct electricity in liquid or aqeouus state.]</em>

of an unknown protein are dissolved in enough solvent to make 5.00mL of solution. The osmotic pressure of this solution is measu

krok68 [10]

The question is incomplete . The complete question is :

100 mg of an unknown protein are dissolved in enough solvent to make 5.00mL of solution. The osmotic pressure of this solution is measured to be 0.107atm at 25.0°C. Calculate the molar mass of the protein. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answer: The molar mass of the protein is $4.57\times 10^3g/mol$

Explanation:

$\pi =CRT$

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 0.107 atm

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Mass of solute (protein) = 100 mg = 0.1 g (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Volume of solution = 5.00 mL

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273+25]=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.107=1\times \frac{0.1\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of insulin}\times 5.00}\times 0.0821\text{ Latm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\\text{molar mass of protein}$
