A student claims that water's polarity is the reason it has a high specific heat.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Komok [63]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Perform research to see if other polar molecules have high specific heat

Explanation:

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of the substance by 1°C.

In this question, the student is trying to establish a relationship between polarity and specific heat of substances. This claim can be tested by performing a research to see if other polar molecules have high specific heat.

If the research shows that a large number of other polar molecules  have high specific heat, then the claim is confirmed to be true.

What is the ph of 0.450 m al(no3)3 [ka for al3+(aq) = 1.00x10-5]? express your answer to two decimal places?
White raven [17]

Answer : The pH of the solution is, 2.67

Explanation :

The equilibrium chemical reaction is:

                           Al^{3+}+H_2O\rightarrow Al(OH)^{2+}+H^+

Initial conc.       0.450                   0               0

At eqm.           (0.450-x)                 x               x

As we are given:

K_a=1.00\times 10^{-5}

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(0.450-x)}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

1.00\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(0.450-x)}

x=0.00212M

The concentration of H^+ = x = 0.00212 M

Now we have to calculate the pH of solution.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (0.00212)

pH=2.67

Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 2.67

1‑propanol ( n ‑propanol) and 2‑propanol (isopropanol) form ideal solutions in all proportions. Calculate the partial pressure a
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

y_{prop} = 0.134; y_{iso} = 0.866

The partial pressure of isopropanol = 34.04 Torr; The partial pressure of propanol = 5.26 Torr

Explanation:

For each of the solutions:

mole fraction of isopropanol  (x_{iso}) = 1 - mole fraction of propanol (x_{prop}).

Given: mole fraction of propanol = 0.247. Thus, the mole fraction of isopropanol = 1 - 0.247 = 0.753.

Furthermole, the partial pressure of isopropanol = x_{iso}*vapor pressure of isopropanol = 0.753*45.2 Torr = 34.04 Torr

The partial pressure of propanol = x_{prop}*vapor pressure of propanol = 0.247*20.9 Torr = 5.16 Torr

Similarly,

In the vapor phase,

The mole fraction of propanol (y_{prop}) = \frac{P_{prop} }{P_{prop}+P_{iso}}

Where, P_{prop} is the partial pressure of propanol and P_{iso} is the partial pressure of isopropanol.

Therefore,

y_{prop} = 5.26/(34.04+5.16) = 0.134

y_{iso} = 1 - 0.134 = 0.866
