The common laboratory solvent diethyl ether (ether) is often used to purify substances dissolved in it. The vapor pressure of di

ethyl ether, CH3CH2OCH2CH3, is 463.57 mm Hg at 25°C.
1. In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 21.47 grams of the compound were dissolved in 233.8 grams of diethyl ether, the vapor pressure of the solution was 455.55 mm Hg. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte. What is the molecular weight of this compound?

Answer: 386.0 g/mol

Explanation:

As the relative lowering of vapor pressure is directly proportional to the amount of dissolved solute.

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be,

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times x_2

where,

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}= relative lowering in vapor pressure

i = Van'T Hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolytes)

x_2 = mole fraction of solute  =\frac{\text {moles of solute}}{\text {total moles}}

Given : 21.47 g of compound X is present in 233.8 g of diethyl ether

moles of solute (X) = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{21.47g}{Mg/mol}

moles of solvent (diethyl ether) = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{233.8g}{74g/mol}=3.160moles

x_2 = mole fraction of solute =\frac{\frac{21.47g}{Mg/mol}}{\frac{21.47g}{Mg/mol}+3.160}

\frac{463.57-455.55}{463.57}=1\times \frac{\frac{21.47g}{Mg/mol}}{\frac{21.47g}{Mg/mol}+3.160}

0.017301=1\times \frac{\frac{21.47g}{Mg/mol}}{\frac{21.47g}{Mg/mol}+3.160}

M=386.0g/mol

The molecular weight of this compound is 386.0 g/mol

Why are baking directions on cake mix boxes different for higher altitudes
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Explanation:First, the dry air at high elevations tends to make things dry out quickly. Second, the boiling point of water is lower at altitude, which means that moisture will tend to bake out of your cakes more quickly. ... In the reduced air pressure of high altitudes, your leavening ingredients will act more powerfully.

There are 34 questions on a test. John answers 22 correctly. What is Johns percent error?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

35 . 29%

Explanation:

no. of questions in test =34

no. of questions answered correctly =22

therefore, no. of questions answered incorrectly =34 - 22

=12

error percentage = 12/34 * 100

=35 .29 %

Calculate the moles of 36.030 g of H2O.
lions [1.4K]

Answer: 1.99 mol h20

Explanation:

you have 36.030 g, trying to get it into mols

to get from g to mols, use the molar mass (periodic table)

36.030 g h20 (1 mol/18.02g) = 1.99 mol h20
