What is a state function?

Chemistry
1 answer:
fredd [130]3 years ago
3 0
Is a function defined for a system relating several state variables or state quantities that depends only on the current equilibrium thermodynamic state of the system[1] (e.g. gas, liquid, solid, crystal, or emulsion), not the path which the system took to reach its present state. A state function describes the equilibrium state of a system, thus also describing the type of system. For example, a state function could describe an atom or molecule in a gaseous, liquid, or solid form; a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture; and the amounts of energy required to create such systems or change them into a different equilibrium state.

A solution is made from ethanol, C2H5OH and water is 0.75 m. How many grams of ethanol are contained per 250. g of water?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

m_{solute}=8.6g

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the unit of concentration is molality which is defined by:

m=\frac{n_{solute}}{m_{solvent}}

Whereas the mass of the solvent is measured in kilograms. In such a way, with the given data, we first compute the kilograms of water:

m_{solvent}=250g*\frac{1kg}{1000g} =0.25kg

Then, we solve for the moles of the solute:

n_{solute}=0.75\frac{mol}{kg}*0.25kg =0.19mol

Finally since the molar mass of ethanol is 46 g/mol, we compute the grams for the given solution:

m_{solute}=0.19*\frac{46g}{1mol} \\\\m_{solute}=8.6g

Best regards.

I know the correct answer is either a or d. Can anyone explain which one it is and why? CH3C ≡ CCH2CH2Cl is named: a. 1-chloro-3
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

CH₃C≡ CCH₂CH₂Cl

Since there are 5 carbons so the suffix used is "pent"

There is a triple bond so its alkyne

So the compound becomes 2-pentyne (2 because the triple bond is with the 2nd carbon)

Then,

The functional group of chlorine is attached with 5th carbon So the compound becomes

5-chloro,2-pentyne

Which member of each pair is the stronger base? part a ethylamine or aniline ethylamine or aniline ethylamine aniline request an
Vladimir79 [104]
Lowery-Bronsted theory is applied here. Acc. to this theory Base accepts protons and Acids donate proton.

Part 1: 
Aniline is less basic than ethylamine because the lone pair on nitrogen (which accepts proton) is not localized. It resonates throughout the conjugated system of phenyl ring. Hence due to unavailability of electrons for accepting proton it is less basic compare to ethylamine. In ethyl amine the lone pair of electron is localized and available to abstract proton.

Part 2:
In this case the alkyl groups attached to -NH₂ (in ethylamine) and -O⁻ (in ethoxide are same (i.e. CH₃-CH₂-). Ethoxide is more basic than ethylamine because ethoxide is a conjugate base of ethanol (pKa value of ethanol = 15.9 very weak acid) and the conjugate base of weak acid is always a strong base. Secondly, the oxygen atom more Electronegative than Nitrogen atom can attract more electron cloud from alkyl group as compared to Nitrogen in ethylamine. Hence, oxygen in ethoxide attains greater electron cloud than the nitrogen in ethylamine. Therefore, it is more basic than ethylamine.

What is the molarity of 0.50g of Na dissolved in a 1.5 L solution?
lara [203]
M = mols of solute / L of solution

Convert .50 g Na to mols Na by dividing by 22.99 and then dividing that by 1.5, which gives you a 0.014 M solution.
