What mass of solid that has a molar mass 89.0 g/mol should be added to 100.0 g of benzene to raise the boiling point of benzene

taurus [48]

On the basis of given data:

Mass of solvent (benzene) = 100 gm or 0.1 Kg

Molar mass of solute (solid) = 89 g/mol

Increase in boiling point (deltaTb) = 2.42 degree C

The boiling point elevation constant k = 2.53 C.kg/mol

There is a need to determine the mass of the solid to be added, the elevation in boiling point is proportional to the m (molality) of the solute;

ΔTb = k.m

Here, m that is molality = moles of solute/kg of solvent

Therefore,

ΔTb = k (benzene) × moles of solid/kg of benzene

2.42 = 2.53 × moles of solid/0.1

moles of solid = 0.0956 moles

The molar mass of solid = 89 g/mol

Thus, the mass of solid = 0.0956 moles × 89 g/mol

= 8.508 g

Thus, the mass of solid to be added is 8.508 g.

The naturally occurring radioactive decay series that begins with 23592U stops with formation of the stable 20782Pb nucleus. The

dsp73

Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+X_2^4\alpha+Y_{-1}^0e$

Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X

4X= 28

X = 7

Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y

2X- Y = 10

2(7) - Y= 10

14-10 = Y

Y= 4

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+7_2^4\alpha+4_{-1}^0e$

Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

in an experiment 3.425g of lead oxide was reduced to form 3.105g of lead the empirical formula of the lead oxide is?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Pb3O4

Explanation:

According to this question, 3.425g of lead oxide was reduced to form 3.105g of lead in an experiment. Since lead oxide contains both lead (Pb) and oxygen (O) element,

Mass of lead oxide = 3.425g

Mass of lead = 3.105g

Mass of oxygen = (3.425g - 3.105g) = 0.320g

Next, we convert each mass value to mole by dividing by respective molar mass

Pb = 3.105g ÷ 207.2 = 0.0149mol

O = 0.320g ÷ 16 = 0.02mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.0149)

Pb = 0.0149mol ÷ 0.0149mol = 1

O = 0.02mol ÷ 0.0149mol = 1.342

Multiply each ratio value by 3 to get:

Pb = 1 × 3 = 3

O = 1.342 × 3 = 4.026

The whole number ratio, approximately, of Pb and O is 3:4, hence, their empirical formula is Pb3O4.
