Compound A has a partition coefficient (K) of 7 when comparing its solubility in CH2Cl2 to water ( K=11, [solubility of A in g/m

l in CH2Cl2] divided by [solubility of A in g/ml in H2O]). If we take 17.0 g of A and partition it thoroughly between 150 ml of CH2Cl2 and 100 ml of water, what is the equation which will tell us how much of A (which is represented by x) is in the water layer after this partitioning ?

Answer:

The equation which will tell us how much of A that is mis inmthe water layer after partitioning is: 7 = (17 - x) g / 150 mL ÷ x g /100 mL

Explanation:

A partition coefficient is the ratio of the concentration of a substance in one solvent phase to the concentration in a second solvent phase when the two concentrations are at equilibrium. Usually the two phases are an organic phase and an aqueous phase. Thus, the partition coefficient K, of a compound is the ratio of the compound's concentration in the organic layer compared to the aqueous layer.

K = C₁/C₂ at equilibrium

In the compound A given, CH₂Cl₂ is the organic phase while water is the aqueous phase

Amount of A that is partitioned in between dichloromethane, CH₂Cl₂ and water, H₂O is 17.0 g

Let the amount of A that is dissolved in water be x g

Solubility of A in water given in g/mL = (x / 100) g/ml

Amount of A dissolved in dichloromethane, CH₂Cl₂ = (17 - x) g

Solubility of A in dichloromethane, CH₂Cl₂ given in g/mL = (17 - x/150) g/mL

Since the partition coefficient, K of compound A when comparing its solubility in CH₂Cl₂ to water is 7, that is;

K = [solubility of A in g/ml in CH₂Cl₂] / [solubility of A in g/ml in H2O] = 7

The equation for the amount of A in the water layer is given as follows:

7 = (17 - x) g / 150 mL ÷ x g /100 mL

Solving for x

7 = (17 -x) × 100 / 150x

7 × 150x = (17 - x) × 100

1050x = 1700 - 100x

1150x = 1700

x = 1700/1150

x = 1.48 g

1. Magnesium atoms also have a slightly smaller radius than sodium atoms, and so the delocalised electrons are closer to the nuclei.
2. Sodium has higher melting point than potassium because of stronger metallic bonding .
3. Potassium are very soft metal can be very easily cut with a knife
4. Increase of resistance in metals. Therefore the mobility of electrons decreases and causes decrease in conductivity.
5.To increase strength, increase corrosion resistance, or reduce costs.
6. All metals have low ionization energies and are relatively electropositive, and so they lose electrons fairly easily.
7. All the group 1 metals are reactive, but they get more reactive as you go down the group, so potassium is more reactive than sodium.

A 1.0 mole sample of fluorine gas at 25 °C has an average molecular velocity of 415 m/s. What is the total KE of the gas sample?
Mariana [72]

The total kinetic energy of the gas sample is 3.3 KJ

<h3>What is kinetic energy? </h3>

This is the energy possessed by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

KE = ½mv²

Where

  • KE is the kinetic energy
  • m is the mass
  • v is the velocity

<h3>How to determine the mass of the fluorine gas</h3>
  • Molar mass of fluorine gas = 38 g/mol
  • Mole of fluorine gas = 1 mole
  • Mass of fluorine gas = ?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of fluorine gas = 1 × 38

Mass of fluorine gas = 38 g

<h3>How to determine the KE of the gas sample</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 38 g = 38 / 1000 = 0.038 Kg
  • Velocity (v) = 415 m/s
  • Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.038 × 415²

KE = 3272.275 J

Divide by 1000 to express in kilojoule

KE = 3272.275 / 1000

KE = 3.3 KJ
