A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to

rise? The molecules in the water move closer together. The molecules in the thermometer’s liquid spread apart. The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases. The kinetic energy of the thermometer’s liquid molecules decreases.

Answer: The molecules in the thermometer's liquid spread apart.

Explanation:

Mercury is the only metal that remains liquid at room temperature. It has a high coefficient of expansion therefore the its level rises when exposed to a temperature range. It can detect a slight change in temperature. It has a high  boiling point.

When the thermometer is placed in the water to measure the temperature, the molecules of thermometer liquid that is mercury only will spread due to high coefficient of expansion. This can be seen as rise in temperature.

A gaseous mixture contains 443.0 Torr H 2 ( g ) , 369.9 Torr N 2 ( g ) , and 82.7 Torr Ar ( g ) . Calculate the mole fraction, χ
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

χH₂ = 0.4946

χN₂ = 0.4130

χAr = 0.0923

Explanation:

The total pressure of the mixture (P) is:

P = pH₂ + pN₂ + pAr

P = 443.0 Torr + 369.9 Torr + 82.7 Torr

P = 895.6 Torr

We can find the mole fraction of each gas (χ) using the following expression.

χi = pi / P

χH₂ = pH₂ / P = 443.0 Torr/895.6 Torr = 0.4946

χN₂ = pN₂ / P = 369.9 Torr/895.6 Torr = 0.4130

χAr = pAr / P = 82.7 Torr/895.6 Torr = 0.0923

Dr. House took two liquids of different densities (p_1=1500 kg/m^3; p_2 = 500 kg/m^3) are poured together into a 0.1 m^3 tank fi
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
We know that:
mass = density x volume
The volume of the total mixture is 0.1 m³
Let the first liquid be A and the second be B
Mass Total = Mass A + Mass B

800 x 0.1 = 1500Va + 500(0.1 - Va)
30 = 1000Va
Va = 0.03 m³
Vb = 0.1 - 0.03 = 0.07 m³

3. A compound consists of 91.63 grams of carbon, 7.69 grams of hydrogen and 40.81 grams of
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Molecular formula = C₁₂H₁₂O₄

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of C = 91.63 g

Mass of H = 7.69 g

Mass pf O = 40.81 g

Molar mass of compound = 220 g/mol

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 7.69 / 1.01 = 7.61

Number of gram atoms of O = 40.81 / 16 = 2.55

Number of gram atoms of C = 91.63 / 12 = 7.64

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :      H                :         O

           7.64/2.55          :    7.61 /2.55    :       2.55/2.55

               3                     :          3               :        1

C : H : O = 3 : 3 : 1

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass  = 3×12+ 3×1.01 +16 = 55.03

n = 220 / 55.03

n = 4

Molecular formula = 4 (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 4 (C₃H₃O)

Molecular formula = C₁₂H₁₂O₄
