Why should distilled water be used when conducting chemical tests?

Chemistry

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.

yan [13]

Answer:

The ionization energy (in kJ/mol) of the helium ion is 21,004.73 kJ/mol .

Explanation:

E_n = -(2.18 10-18 J)\times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}

Z = atomic mass

n = principal quantum number

Energy of the electron in n=1,

E_1= -(2.18 10^{-18} J)\times \frac{4^2}{1^2}=-3.488\times 10^{-17} J

Energy of the electron in n = ∞

E_{\infty}= -(2.18 10^{-18} J)\times \frac{2^2}{\infty ^2}=0 J

Ionization energy of the He^+ ion:

I.E=E_{infty}-E_1=0-(-3.488\times 10^{-17} J)=3.488\times 10^{-17} J

I.E=3.488\times 10^{-20} kJ

To convert in into kj/mol multiply it with N_A=6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}

I.E=3.488\times 10^{-20} kJ\times 6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}=21,004.73kJ/mol

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Reluctantly she pulled away, her pulse and respiration in a race.

Its function is less that of respiration than of FIG

Terrestrial plants have a gaseous interchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide which is necessary for respiration and feeding.

The least wind raises clouds of fine dust, which fill the air, render it so opaque as to obscure the noonday sun, and make respiration difficult.
