Answer:

IR provides structural information about a molecule. TLC and melting point analysis do not provide structural information.

Explanation:

IR gives information about the functional groups present in a molecule. The vibrational frequency of each functional group gives information about the structure of the entire molecule.

Structural features of a molecule are deduced by matching the vibrational frequencies of  groups obtained from the IR spectroscopy with that of known functional groups in literature.

Melting point is a qualitative method that can only yield information about the identity of a compound and not its structure. Each compound has its unique melting point recorded in literature and any pure sample of the same compound must have the same sharp meting point.

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a chromatography technique used to separate non-volatile mixtures. After separating the components of the mixture, it does not give any information regarding the identity or the structure  of the components of the mixture.

Therefore, only IR yields structural information about a sample.

This requires familiarity with the different theories (or concepts) of acids and bases.

On the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that produces an H⁺ ion in water such that the H⁺ concentration increases, and a base is a substance that produces an OH⁻ ion in water such that the OH⁻ concentration increases.

On the Brønsted–Lowry concept, an acid is a substance that donates a proton (which is basically an H⁺ ion) in a solvent, and a base is a substance that accepts a proton in a solvent.

On the Lewis concept, an acid is a substance that accepts an electron pair in a solvent, and a base is a substance that donates an electron pair in a solvent.

The concepts become progressively broader, i.e., the Arrhenius concept is the most restrictive and the Lewis concept is the least restrictive. As a corollary, an Arrhenius acid or base is also both a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base and a Lewis acid or base, respectively; a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base is not necessarily an Arrhenius acid or base, but an Arrhenius acid or base is also a Lewis acid or base, respectively. And finally, a Lewis acid or base may not necessarily be either an Arrhenius or a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base.

So, with the above concepts in mind, we can match the statements in column A with the type of acid or base in column B:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c } 1 & Bronsted Lowry acid \\  2 & Bronsted Lowry base \\   3 & Arrhenius acid \\ 4 & Arrhenius base \\ 5 & Lewis base \\ 6 & Lewis acid\end{tabular}\end{center}

A metal pellet with a mass of 100.0 g, originally at 116°C, is dropped into a cup of water, initially at
Alina [70]

Answer:

C, 42g

Explanation:

In thermal equilibrium, both bodies (metal pellet and water) both have the same final temperature (46.3°C).

Assuming no heat is lost to surroundings,

the energy lost from metal pellet = energy gained for water

Since E = mc∆T

(energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change)

mc∆T (metal pellet) = mc∆T (water)

100 x 0.568 x (116-46.3) = m 4.184 (46.3 - 23.8)

3958.96 = 94.14m

m = 42g

Having done the experiment, explain briefly how the mass of zinc not equal the mass of lead gained (hint: the periodic table)
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Due to the difference in the relative atomic masses and therefore, the molecular masses of Zn and Pb, one mole of Zn is about 3.2 times lighter than one mole of Pb

Explanation:

From the periodic table, we have;

The atomic number of zinc, Zn = 30

The atomic mass of zinc, Zn = 65.38 amu

The molar mass of zinc, Zn = 65.38 g/mol

The atomic number of lead, Pb = 82

The atomic mass of lead, Pb = 207.2 amu

The molar mass of lead, Pb = 207.2 g/mol

Therefore, whereby equal number of moles of Zn is lost and Pb is gained, we have;

Mass of 1 mole of Zn = 65.38 grams

Therefore, 1 gram of Zn = 1/65.38 moles = 0.0153 moles

0.12 grams of Zn = 0.12×0.0153 = 0.00184 moles of Zn

Given that equal number of moles of Zn and Pb are involved in the reaction, the number of moles of Pb gained = 0.00184 moles

The mass of Pb gained = Number of moles of Pb gained × Molar mass of Pb

The mass of Pb gained = 0.00184 × 207.2 = 0.38 g ≈ 0.4 g.

Amount of Pb gained = 0.43 g ≈ 0.4 g
