Answer:

b. the heating of 10 g of liquid water from 0°C to 100°C.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we must notice a., c. and d. processes are not actually absorbing heat but releasing it since cooling, freezing and condensation are processes with negative heat sign since matter changes from a state of more energy to a state of less energy. We can prove this by realizing that freezing enthalpy of water is -6.00 kJ/mol, condensation enthalpy of eater is -40.8 kJ/mol and a change of temperature from 100 °C to 0 °C is negative.

In such a way, the only process absorbing heat is b. the heating of 10 g of liquid water from 0°C to 100°C since energy must be added to the system, or absorbed by it in order to attain the heating.

Regards.

A. What is a period on the periodic table?

malfutka [58]

Answer:

In chemical bonding: Arrangement of the elements. The horizontal rows of the periodic table are called periods. Each period corresponds to the successive occupation of the orbitals in a valence shell of the atom, with the long periods corresponding to the occupation of the orbitals of a d subshell.

Determine the pHpH of an HFHF solution of each of the following concentrations. In which cases can you not make the simplifying

PIT_PIT [208]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

Determine the pH of an HF solution of each of the following concentrations. In which cases can you not make the simplifying assumption that x is small? ( $K_a$ for HF is $6.8\times 10^{-4}$ .)

[HF] = 0.280 M

Express your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.

Explanation:3

Initial concentration if HF = c = 0.280 M

Dissociation constant of the HF = $K_a=6.8\times 10^{-4}$

$HF\rightleftharpoons H^++F^-$

Initially

c 0 0

At equilibrium :

(c-x) x x

The expression of disassociation constant is given as:

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][F^-]}{[HF]}$

$K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}$

$6.8\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x^2}{(0.280 M-x)}$

Solving for x, we get:

x = 0.01346 M

So, the concentration of hydrogen ion at equilibrium is :

$[H^+]=x=0.01346 M$

The pH of the solution is ;

$pH=-\log[H^+]=-\log[0.01346 M]=1.87$

The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.

What is the freezing point of a solution of 498mL of water (solute) dissolved in 2.50 L of ethanol (solvent), C2H5OH? The densit

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Freezing T° of solution is -142.4°C

Explanation:

This excersise is about colligative properties, in this case freezing point depression,

ΔT = Kf . m . i

Where ΔT = Freezing T° of solvent - Freezing T° of solution

Kf = Cryoscopic constant

m = mol/kg (molality)

i = Number of ions dissolved.

Water is not ionic, so i = 1

Let's find out m.

We determine mass of water, by density

498ml . 1 g/mL = 498 g

We convert the mass of water to moles → 498 g . 1mol/18g = 27.6 moles

We determine mass of solvent by density

2500 mL . 0.789 g/mL = 1972.5 g

Notice, we had to convert L to mL to cancel units.

1 cm³ = 1 mL

We convert the mass from g to kg → 1972.5 g . 1kg /1000g = 1.97kg

We determine m = mol/kg → 27.6mol / 1.97kg = 13.9 m

Kf for ethanol is: 1.99 °C/m

Freezing T° for ethanol is: -114.6°C

We replace at formula: - 114.6°C - Freezing T° solution = 1.99 °C/m . 13.9 m . 1

- 114.6°C - Freezing T° solution = 27.8 °C

- Freezing T° solution = 27.8°C + 114.6°C

Freezing T° Solution = - 142.4 °C
