Rank the following substances/solutions in order of lowest boiling point to highest boiling point where 1 has the lowest boiling

poizon [28]

Answer:

1) pure water

2) 0.75 m CaCl2

3) 1.0 m NaCl

4) 0.5 m KBr

5) 1.5 m glucose (C6H12O6)

Explanation:

Boiling point elevation is a colligative property. Coligative properties are properties that depend on the amount of solute present in the system. The boiling point of solvents increase due to the presence of solutes.

The boiling point elevation depends on the number of particles the solute forms in solution and the molality of the solute. The more the number of particles formed by the solute and the greater the molality of the solute, the greater the magnitude of boiling point elevation.

The order of decreasing hoping point elevation is;

1) 0.75 m CaCl2

2) 1.0 m NaCl

3) 0.5 m KBr

4) 1.5 m glucose (C6H12O6)

A sample of 87.6 g of carbon is reacted with 136 g of

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A. fluorine, 1.79 moles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of carbon = 87.7g

Mass of fluorine gas = 136g

Unknown:

The limiting reactant and the maximum amount of moles of carbon tetrafluoride that can be produced = ?

Solution:

Equation of the reaction:

C + 2F₂ → CF₄

let us find the number of the moles the given species;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

C; molar mass = 12;

Number of moles = $\frac{87.7}{12}$ = 7.31moles

F; molar mass = 2(19) = 38g/mol

Number of moles = $\frac{136}{38}$ = 3.58moles

So;

From the give reaction:

1 mole of C requires 2 moles of F₂

7.31 moles of C will then require 2 x 7.31 moles of F₂ = 14.62moles

But we have 3.58 moles of the F₂;

Therefore, the reactant in short supply is F₂ and it is the limiting reactant;

So;

2 moles of F₂ will produce mole of CF₄

3.58 moles of F₂ will then produce $\frac{3.58}{2}$ = 1.79moles of CF₄

The thin outer layer of Earth, called the crust, contains only 0.50 percent of Earth's total mass and yet is the source of almos

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is $7.2729\times 10^{21} kg$ .

Explanation:

Mass of Earth = $5.9\times 10^{21} tons$

(1 ton= 2000 lb)

(1 lb =453.6 g)

1 ton = 2000 × 453.6 g =907,200 g

Mass of Earth = $5.9\times 10^{21}\times 907,200 g=5.3524\times 10^{27} g$

Percentage of earth crust = 0.50%

Mass of earth crust = M

$0.50\%=\frac{M}{5.3524\times 10^{27}}\times 100$

$M=2.6762\times 10^{25} g$

Percentage of the silicon in Earth's crust = 27.2 %

Mass of silicon in in Earth's crust = m

$Si\%=\frac{m}{M}\times 100$

$27.2\%=\frac{m}{2.6762\times 10^{25} g}\times 100$

$m = 7.2792\times 10^{24} g=7.2729\times 10^{21} kg$

1000 g = 1 kg

The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is $7.2729\times 10^{21} kg$ .
