Identify any solutes and solvents present in a mixture of 0.05 mol ethanol, 1 liter water, and 0.2 g hydrogen
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Water is the solvent

Both the ethanol and the hydrogen peroxide are the solute

Explanation:

Both the hydrogen peroxide and ethanol are sisobable in water.

There are 0.05 moles of ethanol.

1 litreof water contains 55.55 moles of water.

0.2 g of hydrogen peroxide contains 0.2/34 = 0.0059 moles of hydrogen peroxide (the 34 is the molar mass of hydrogen peroxide).

Since there are more moles of water, water becomes the solvent and the other two liquids dissolve in it.

In terms of energy what kind of system is a sealed glass terrarium on a windsill?
Snezhnost [94]
If the sealed glass is permeable to sunlight or to transfer of heat will be an open system, but if the sealed glass is a thermic glass and doesn't allow exchange of heat and exchange of solar energy (for example a mirrored glass that reflect the sunlight) and the terrarium is not exchanging energy with the surroundings will be a closed system. It is a question that doesn't specify too many details about the system in the study. It is hard to give a final answer without making some assumptions.

Strontium sulfate becomes less soluble in an aqueous solution when sodium sulfator is added because
horsena [70]

Answer:

The addition of sulfate ions shifts equilibrium to the left.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the following ionization of strontium sulfate:

SrSO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons Sr^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}

It is evidenced that when sodium sulfate is added, sulfate, SO_4^{2+} is actually added in to the solution, which causes the equilibrium to shift leftwards according to the Le Ch athelier's principle. Thus, the answer in this case would be:

The addition of sulfate ions shifts equilibrium to the left.

Best regards!

If the freezing point of the solution had been incorrectly read 0.3 °C lower than the true freezing point, would the calculated
Dovator [93]

Answer : The molar mass of the solute would be low.

Explanation :

Formula used for depression in freezing point is:  

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T^o-T_s=i\times K_f\times\frac{w_b}{M_b}\times w_a}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point

\Delta T_s = freezing point of solution

\Delta T^o = freezing point of water

i = Van't Hoff factor

K_f = freezing point constant

m = molality

w_b = mass of solute

w_a = mass of solvent

M_b = molar mass of solute

From the formula we conclude that, when the freezing point of the solution read incorrectly that is freezing point of the solution is lower than the true freezing point then this means that change in freezing point would be high and the molar mass of the solute would be low.

Hence, the molar mass of the solute would be low.
