Why should distilled water be used when conducting chemical tests?

Chemistry
1 answer:
pishuonlain [190]2 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.

How are the molecular mass and molar mass of a compound similar and how are they different?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Similarities: both state the mass of chemical species and they have the same numerical value

Differences: molecular mass refers to one single molecule and molar mass refers to one mole of a molecule

Explanation:

The molecular mass is the value of the mass of each molecule and it is measured in mass units (u). It is calculated adding the mass of each atom of the molecule.

The molar mass is the value of the mass of one mole of molecules, which means the mass of 6.022140857 × 10²³ molecules. The unit is g/mol.

For example, we can consider the methane molecule, which has the chemical formula of CH₄:

Molecular mass CH₄ = C mass + 4 x (H mass)

Molecular mass CH₄ = 12.01 + 4 x (1.01)

Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 u

Now to calculate the molar mass we multiply the value of the molecular mass by the Avogadro number and convert the units to g/mol:

Molar mass CH₄: 16.05 x \frac{1}{6.022140857 x 10x^{23} } g x 6.022140857 × 10²³ mol⁻¹

Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 g / mol

Which of the following is true of the energy levels of electrons in shells?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Option C is the correct. Valence electrons have a higher energy level than those in other filled shells

Explanation:

Electrons must lose energy to move from the first to the second shell. FALSE

The electrons always win energy to move from the first to the second shell.

All the electrons in an atom have similar energy levels FALSE.

They are not neccesary similar. In hydrogen these are the level energy -13.6 eV , -3.4 eV , -1.51 eV , -85 eV  and -54 eV

Electrons do not have potential energy, just kinetic energy. FALSE

They have both.

Valencia electrons are the last electrons in the last layer. They have as much energy as possible and are responsible for forming bonds with other elements.
