Answer:
The reasons why the seemingly floating bubbles disappear was that they tend to loss their latent heat to the water molecules at the surface water.
Explanation:
Heat energy has a considerable effect on the velocity of molecules including water. The water molecules below the container will receive much more heat energy than those above it. This heat energy in the form of specific heat capacity and latent heat that result in the increase in the speed of individual molecules of water and finally to the escape of the molecules to a colder region of the container, in this case the upper region. At the collision of the bottom water to the surface water, they tend to exchange their heat content, the hotter molecules will lose their heat to the cold ones. When the formerly hot molecules encounter this, it will result in lowering the temperature and consequentially to the reduction of their movement, once in the form of bubble, now become ordinary water. This convectional transfer of heat energy will continue until the whole system has a uniform temperature depending on the consistency of the heat source.
To fully understand the problem, we use the ICE table to identify the concentration of the species. We calculate as follows:
Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = [H+][OBr-] / [HOBr]
HOBr = 0.50 M
KOBr = 0.30 M = OBr-
<span> HOBr + H2O <-> H+ + OBr- </span>
<span>I 0.50 - 0 0.30 </span>
<span>C -x x x
</span>---------------------------------------------
<span>E(0.50-x) x (0.30+x) </span>
<span>Assuming that the value of x is small as compared to 0.30 and 0.50 </span>
<span>Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = x (0.30) / 0.50) </span>
<span>x = 3.33 x 10^-9 = H+</span>
pH = 8.48
First convert grams to moles
using molar mass of butane that is 58.1 g
3.50g C4H10 x (1 mol
C4H10)/(58.1g C4H10) = 0.06024 mol C4H10 <span>
<span>Now convert moles to molecules by using Avogadro’s number
0.06024 mol C4H10 x (6.022x10^23 molecules C4H10)/(1 mol
C4H10) = 3.627x10^22 molecules C4H10
And there are 4 carbon atoms in 1 molecule of butane, so use
the following ratio:
3.627 x 10^22 molecules C4H10 x (4 atoms C)/(1 molecule
C4H10)
<span>= 1.45 x 10^23 atoms of carbon are present</span></span></span>
