Because liquids cant be condensed the way that gasses can for example in a tank of argon you can put 20 cubic feet because it can be be condensed but you could not fit 20 cubic feet of water because it can not be packed together .

A gas is initially confined to a 1.00 L vessel at 3.00 atm of pressure. A valve connecting the 1.00 L vessel to a 3.00 L vessel
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

c. 0.750 atm .

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the two vessels have different volume, we can see that the gas is initially at 3.00 atm into the 1.00-L vessel, but next, it is allowed to move towards the 3.00-L vessel, meaning that the final volume wherein the gas is located, is 4.00 L; therefore, we use the Boyle's law to compute the final pressure:

P_2V_2=P_1V_1\\\\P_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\\\P_2=\frac{3.00atm*1.00L}{4.00L}\\\\P_2=0.750atm

Therefore the answer is c. 0.750 atm .

Best regards!

Why does a catalyst work for a long time before it needs replacing?
DedPeter [7]
Because the catalyst is not really part of the reaction. it is something that speed up a reaction by lowering the energy need for the reaction to take place. however, in the end the catalyst is brought back to its initial state. that's why it is long lasting

1. Write the complete electron configuration for each atom on the blank line. Lithium Fluorine Carbon Argon Sulfur Nickel Rubidi
suter [353]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer 1:

Lithium : 1s2 2s1  Fluorine: 1s2 2s2 2p5   Carbon: 1s2 2s2 2p2

Argon : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6   Sulphur: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

Nickel: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d8 4s2  Rubidium: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10  4s2 4p6 5s1   Xenon: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10  4s2 4p6 4d10 5s2 5p6

 

Answer 2:  A. Fluorine B. Calcium  

C. It is Tellurium if this was the exact electronic configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 5s2 5p4 you intend to write, if not, no element has such electonic configuration.

D. Bromine but the correct electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p5

A chemist combines ethane and chlorine with the goal of producing chloroethane which other product could be reasonably expected
lesya692 [45]
<span>So when the chemist combines Ethane (CH3CH3) and Chlorine (Cl2) with the intention of producing Chloroethane (CH3CH2Cl), the other product that's formed in this reaction is 1,2-dichloroethane (ClCH2CH2Cl) also called as Ethylene dichloride with molecular weight of 98.954 g/mol. This is a colorless oily flammable substance that weighs heaver when vaporized.</span>

The solubility of NaCH3CO2 in water is ~1.23 g/mL. What would be the best method for preparing a supersaturated NaCH3CO2 solutio
Len [333]

Answer:

b) add 130 g of NaCH₃CO₂ to 100 mL of H₂O at 80 °C while stirring until all the solid dissolves, then let the solution cool to room temperature.

Explanation:

The solubility of NaCH₃CO₂ in water is ~1.23 g/mL. This means that at room temperature, we can dissolve 1.23 g of solute in 1 mL of water (solvent).

<em>What would be the best method for preparing a supersaturated NaCH₃CO₂ solution?</em>

<em>a) add 130 g of NaCH₃CO₂ to 100 mL of H₂O at room temperature while stirring until all the solid dissolves.</em> NO. At room temperature, in 100 mL of H₂O can only be dissolved 123 g of solute. If we add 130 g of solute, 123 g will dissolve and the rest (7 g) will precipitate. The resulting solution will be saturated.

<em>b) add 130 g of NaCH₃CO₂ to 100 mL of H₂O at 80 °C while stirring until all the solid dissolves, then let the solution cool to room temperature. </em>YES. The solubility of NaCH₃CO₂ at 80 °C is ~1.50g/mL. If we add 130 g of solute at 80 °C and let it slowly cool (and without any perturbation), the resulting solution at room temperature will be supersaturated.

<em>c) add 1.23 g of NaCH₃CO₂ to 200 mL of H₂O at 80 °C while stirring until all the solid dissolves, then let the solution cool to room temperature.</em> NO. If we add 1.23 g of solute to 200 mL of water, the resulting solution will have a concentration of 1.23 g/200 mL = 0.00615 g/mL, which represents an unsaturated solution.
