You have run an experiment studying the effects of the molecular weight of a compound on the rate of diffusion in agar. Compound

X has a molecular weight of 25.3 g/mol and compound Y has a molecular mass of 156.2 g/mol. On two separate agar plates, 0.1 g of each substance were transferred and allowed to diffuse for 2 hours. The results below were obtained. Use this information about this situation to answer the following three questions.
a. What was the independent variable in this experiment?
b. What was the independent variable in this experiment?
c. List two controls that were held constant for this experiment or that you would hold constant for this experiment

Answer:

A) Molecular weight

B) Rate of diffusion

C) Agar plates

Time of diffusion

Explanation:

A) The independent variable is the molecular weight because it is the variable that the researcher changes at will to aid his research. It doesn't depend on other variables.

B) The dependent variable is "Rate of diffusion because it depends on the molecular weight of the compound.

C) A control variable is one that would be held constant throughout the research.

In this case, the agar plates and the time of 2 hours diffusion remain the same throughout.

1. A substance, A₂B, has the composition by mass of 60% A and 40% B. What is the composition of AB₂ by mass?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
This may help you
Use an arbitrary mass, 100 g is an easy number to work with. 60% of 100 g is 60 g, there are two A's. Each A is 30 g 40 g is B, and there is only one, so B is 40 g. <span>A<span>B2</span></span>, would have a mass of 30 g + 2*40 g = 110 g The new percent by mass composition of A is: <span><span><span>30g</span><span>110g</span></span>∗100%=27.3%</span> The new percent by mass composition of B is: <span><span><span><span>80g</span><span>110g</span></span>∗100%=72.7%</span></span>

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Water molecules are spread up but slightly, enough that none of the molecules actually move freely around each other. Only gas and plasma molecules are very spread apart.

a solution of unknown molecular substance is prepared by dissolving 0.50g of the unknown in 8.0g of benzene. the solution freeze
spayn [35]

Answer:

THE MOLAR MASS OF THE UNKNOWN MOLECULAR SUBSTANCE IS 200 G/MOL.

Explanation:

Mass of the unknown substance = 0.50 g

Freezing point of the solution = 3.9 °C

Freezing point of pure benzene = 5.5 °C

Freezing point dissociation constant Kf = 5.12°C/m

First, calculate the temperature difference between the freezing point of pure benzene and the final solution freezing point.

Change in temperature = 5.5 -3.9 = 1.6 °C

Next is to calculate the number of moles or molarity of the compound that dissolved.

Using the formula:

Δt = i Kf m

Assume i = 1

So,

1.6 °C = 1 * 5.12 * x/ 0.005 kg of benzene

x = 1.6 * 0.008 / 5.12

x = 0.0128 / 5.12

x = 0.0025 moles.

Next is to calculate the molar mass using the formula, molarity = mass / molar mass

Molar mass = mass / molarity

Molar mass = 0.50 g /0.0025

Molar mass = 200 g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the unknown compound is 200 g/mol
