Adi loves the smell of lavender, so she decides to press a few petals of the flower until they release a few drops of oil. She w

ants to determine the molecular weight of the oily substance to try to identify the fragrance she likes so much. Her lab instructor tells her that her experiment will not work. Why do you think it will not work?

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

What Adi failed to realize is that the oily substance that was obtained from lavender consists of a mixture of substances. It is not only the required  fragrance that is present in the extract.

This experiment will not work because those other components in the mixture may be erroneously identified when they show up in the mass spectrum of the extract and may be mistaken for the fragrance in question.

Hence the experiment will not work because; if some kind of separation method is not used to identify other impurities in the oil, many other substances may be mistaken for the actual fragrance.

Gaseous methane (CH4) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (02) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H20). What
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Theoretical yield = 3.51 g

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

For CH_4  :-

Mass of CH_4  = 1.28 g

Molar mass of CH_4  = 16.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{1.28\ g}{16.04\ g/mol}

Moles_{CH_4}= 0.0798\ mol

For O_2  :-

Mass of O_2  = 10.1 g

Molar mass of O_2  = 31.998 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{10.1\ g}{31.998\ g/mol}

Moles_{O_2}= 0.3156\ mol

According to the given reaction:

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

1 mole of methane gas reacts with 2 moles of oxygen gas

0.0798 mole of methane gas reacts with 2*0.0798 moles of oxygen gas

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.1596 moles

Available moles of oxygen gas = 0.3156 moles

<u>Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, CH_4 is limiting reagent. </u>

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of methane gas on reaction produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide.

0.0798 mole of methane gas on reaction produces 0.0798 mole of carbon dioxide.

Mole of carbon dioxide = 0.0798 mole

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.0798\ moles= \frac{Mass}{44.01\ g/mol}

Mass of CO_2 = 3.51 g

<u> Theoretical yield = 3.51 g</u>

Why can a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Molecules in a liquid have less force of attraction as compared to solids. But liquid molecules have more force of attraction as compared to gases.

Since molecules of a gas are held together by weak Vander waal forces, therefore, they expand to fill the container whereas molecules in a liquid are not expanded in a container like gases because of more force of attraction within molecules of liquids as compared to gases.

Hence, a liquid can take the shape of container in which it is kept.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself because the particles of a liquid are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand.

If 4520 kj of heat is needed to boil a sample of water, what is the mass of water
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

1,085g of water

Explanation:

If we have the value 4520kj is because the question is related to Energy and heat capacity. In this case, the law and equation that we use is the following:

                                                  Q= m*C*Δt  where;

Q in the heat, in this case: 4520kj

m is the mas

Δt= is the difference between final-initial temperature (change of temperature), in this exercise we don´t have temperatura change.

In order to determine the mass, I will have the same equation but finding m

                                          m= Q/C*Δt    without   m=Q/C

So: m= 4,520J/4.18J/g°C

      m= 1,0813 g
