Why should distilled water be used when conducting chemical tests?

Chemistry
1 answer:
pishuonlain [190]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Water is used in many tests as solvent for dissolving solutes.

No ions, compounds or salts are present in distilled water. Therefore, test result will not be affected by distilled water.

If plain water is used instead of distilled water, the ions or other salts present in plain water, may undergo chemical reaction with the reagent and may affect the test result.

Consider an example,

Concentration of Fe^{2+} is determined by potassium permanganate using titration method

solution of both Fe^{2+} and potassium permanganate are made in water.

Potassium permanganate is titrant and Fe^{2+} is used as titrand.

Concentration of Fe^{2+} is determined by end point. if the water used for making solution is not distilled, it may affect end point, which results in incorrect determination of concentration of Fe^{2+}.

Therefore, distilled should be used for chemical tests.

Compute diffusion coefficients for the interdiffusion of carbon in both (a) α-iron (BCC) and (b) γ-iron (FCC) at 800.˚C. Assume
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a)1.404 E-10 m^2/s

b)1.438 E-12 m^2/s

Explanation:

Diffusion Coefficients can be calculated at different temperatures taking into account the energy of the diffusive process, remember that this process takes place in the interstices of the solid, and gets with higher temperatures due to the higher kinetic energy of the particles.

D=D_{o} *exp(-Q/RT)

a) For α-iron (BCC)

D=1.10*10^{-6} m^{2}/s *exp(-80.0kJ/mol/8.314*10^{-3}kJ/mol*k*1073.15K)= 1.404*10^{-10} m^{2}/s

b) For γ-iron (FCC)

D=2.30*10^{-5} m^{2}/s *exp(-148.0kJ/mol/8.314*10^{-3}kJ/mol*k*1073.15K)= 1.438*10^{-12} m^{2}/s

Which type of telescope would perform better on a mountaintop than at a lower elevation?
marishachu [46]

when an optical telescope located on the ground is used to view the sky the image has to surpass through the earth's atmosphere which is polluted. so the resolution wont be clear. When viewed on a mountain top both optical and infrared telescopes would perform better as the air above the atmosphere is less depth and cleaner.

A gas occupies a volume of 67.54 liters at 158°C and 4.87 atm pressure. Calculate the number of moles of this gas.
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The number of moles of the gas is 9.295 moles or 9.30 moles

Explanation:

We use PV = nRT

Where P = 4.87 atm;

V = 67.54 L

R= 0.0821Latm/molK

T = 158 C = 158 +273 K = 431 K

the number of moles can be obtained by substituting the values in the respective columns and solve for n

n = PV / RT

n = 4.87 * 67.54 / 0.0821 * 431

n = 328.9198 / 35.3851

n = 9.295moles

The number of moles is approximately 9.30moles.
