<span>An azeotrope is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions remain the same when vaporized. Because of this, fractional distillation is unable to purify ethanol.</span>

Answer:

Most solids in solution exhibit a general trend of increasing solubility with increasing temperature.

A seed crystal may be added to a supersaturated solution to precipitate excess solute.

Explanation:

For many solids dissolved in liquid water, the solubility increases with temperature. The increase in kinetic energy that comes with higher temperatures allows the solvent molecules to more effectively break apart the solute molecules that are held together by intermolecular attractions(Lumen Learning).

When a seed crystal is added to a supersaturated solution, excess solute begin to precipitate because  the seed crystal now furnishes the required nucleation site where the excess dissolved crystals now begin to grow.

Calculate the empirical formula of a compound that is 42.9% Carbon and 57.1% Oxygen.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

CO.

Explanation:

Assuming the given percentages are by mass, we can solve this problem via imagining we have <em>100 g of the compound</em>, if that were the case we would have:

  • 42.9 g of C
  • 57.1 g of O

Now we <u>convert those masses into moles</u>, using the<em> elements' respective molar masses</em>:

  • 42.9 g of C ÷ 12 g/mol =  3.57 mol C
  • 57.1 g of O ÷ 16 g/mol =  3.58 mol O

As the number of C moles and O moles is roughly the same, the empirical formula for the compound is <em>CO</em>.
