Sugar dissolves readily in water because it is a(n) ____ substance.

1 answer:

3 0

The answer to this question would be D. Hydrophilic.

The word hydrophilic mean attracted by water. That means the molecule has a force to attract water molecule, thus be able to dissolve in water. The polarity of the molecule would determine whether a molecule hydrophilic or not.
Its opposite would be hydrophobic which the molecule can't dissolve in water. One example of this would be oil or fat. That is why sometimes it is called lipophilic too.

Convert the composition of the following alloy from atom percent to weight percent (a) 44.9 at% of silver, (b) 46.3 at% of gold,

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Mass percentage of gold : 33.35%

Mass percentage of silver: 62.80%

Mass percentage of copper : 3.85%

Explanation:

$N=n\times N_A$

Where : N = Number of atoms

n = moles

$N_A=6.022\times 10^{23}$ = Avogadro number

Let the total atoms present in the alloy be 100.

Atom percentage of silver = 44.9%

Atoms of of silver = 44.9% of 100 atoms = 44.9

Atomic weight of silver = 107.87 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 silver atoms = 107.87 g/mol × 44.9 = 4,843.363 g/mol

Atom percentage of gold= 46.3%

Atoms of of gold = 46.3% of 100 atoms = 46.3

Atomic weight of gold = 196.97 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 gold atoms = 196.97 g/mol × 46.3 = 9,119.711 g/mol

Atom percentage of copper = 8.8 %

Atoms of of copper = 8.8% of 100 atoms = 8.8

Atomic weight of copper = 63.55 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 copper atoms = 63.55 g/mol × 8.8 = 559.24 g/mol

Total mass of an alloy :4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol + 559.24 g/mol

Mass percentage of gold :

$\frac{4,843.363 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol + 559.24 g/mol}\times 100=33.35 \%$

Mass percentage of silver:

$\frac{9,119.711 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol + 559.24 g/mol}\times 100=62.80\%$

Mass percentage of copper :

$\frac{559.24 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol + 559.24 g/mol}\times 100=3.85\%$

What is the order of increasing rate of eusion for the following gases, Ar, CO2, H2, N2?

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

H2 > N2 > Ar > CO2

Explanation:

Graham's law explains why some gases efuse faster than others. This is due to the difference i their molar mass. Generally; The rate of effusion of gaseous substances is inversely proportional to the square rot of its molar mass.

This means gases with low molar masses would have higher efusion rate compared to gases with higher molar masses.

So now we just need to compare the molar masses of the various gases;

Ar - 39.95

CO2 - 44.01

H2 - 2

N2 - 28.01

To obtain the order in increasing rate, we have to order the gases in decreasing molar mass. This order of increasing rate is given as;

H2 > N2 > Ar > CO2
