<span>Born in the wake of elevated concern about environmental pollution, EPA was established on December 2, 1970 to consolidate in one agency a variety of federal research, monitoring, standard-setting and enforcement activities to ensure environmental protection. Since its inception, EPA has been working for a cleaner, healthier environment for the American people.</span>

List 2 extensive properties and 3 intensive properties of a 5.0g, 1 cm3 cube of silver

jeka57 [31]

Properties of matter can be broadly classified into two categories:

Physical properties which usually involve a change in the state of matter and Chemical properties which involve a change in the chemical composition of matter.

Now, physical properties can be further classified as:

Extensive: these depend on the amount of the substance, eg: mass, volume

Intensive: these do not depend on the amount of the substance eg: density, color, melting point, boiling point

Here we are given a 5.0 g and 1 cm3 silver cube :

Therefore:

Extensive properties are-

1) Mass of silver = 5.0 g

2) Volume of silver = 1 cm3

Intensive properties are:

1) Density of silver = mass/volume = 5.0 g/ 1 cm3 = 5.0 g/cm3

2) Melting point of silver = 962 C

3) Color = white/gray

Classify the following substances as a Bronsted-Lowry acid, Bronsted-Lowry base, Lewis acid, and/or Lewis base.A. HCl, BF_3,B. C

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

A. HCl -> Bronsted-Lowry acid, BF3 -> Lewis acid

B. CCl3 -> Lewis acid, -HC -> Lewis acid or Bronsted-Lowry acid

C. H2O -> Bronsted-Lowry acid or Bronsted-Lowry base, CH3Cl -> Lewis base

D.-OCH3 -> Lewis base, NH3 -> Bronsted-Lowry acid or Lewis base.

Explanation:

For the Bronsted-Lowry theory, acids are the substances that can donate a proton H+ and bases are the substances that can receive a pronto H+.

For the Lewis theory, acid is the substance that can gain a pair of electrons, and the base is the substances that can donate the pair of electrons.

A. HCl -> The substance has a proton (H+) and it can donate it, so it's a Bronsted-Lowry acid. BF3 -> The boron (B), still has space in its shells to receive a pair of electrons, so it's a Lewis acid.

B. CCl3 -> The carbon didn't make all the bonds it can do (4), so it still can receive electrons, thus it's a Lewis acid. -HC-> It can lose the proton (H+) as a Bronsted-Lowry acid, os gains a pair of electrons at the carbon, as a Lewis acid.

C. H2O -> It can gain a proton and forms the ion H3O+, or it can lose a proton and form the ion OH-, so it can be a Brosted-Lowy acid or a Bronsted-Lowry base. CH3Cl -> It can donate pair of electrons (the hydrogen is to attached to the carbon, so it will not be lost), so it works as a Lewis base.

D. -OCH3 -> The oxygen still has pairs of electrons, which it can donate, so it's a Lewis base. NH3 -> It can gain a proton and forms the ion NH4+, so it'll be a Bronsted-Lowry acid, but the nitrogen still has electrons, which it can donate, working as a Lewis base.

Which flask has the solution with the lowest freezing point

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

Assume you have 0. 1 mol·kg⁻¹ solutions of A) KCl, B) CH₃OH, C) Ba(OH)₂, and D) CH₃COOH.

The formula for freezing point depression is

$\Delta T_{f} = iK_{f}b$

Where

b = the molal concentration

K_f = the freezing point depression constant

i = the van't Hoff i factor

The i-factor is the number of solute particles produced by one formula unit of the substance.

The only difference in the solutions is the i-factor of the solutes.

A) KCl

KCl(aq) ⟶ K⁺(aq) +Cl⁻(aq); i = 2

B) CH₃OH

Methanol is a nonelectrolyte.

CH₃OH(aq) ⟶ CH₃OH(aq); i = 1

C) Ba(OH)₂

Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⟶ Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq); i = 3

D) CH₃COOH

CH₃COOH(aq) ⇌ CH₃COO⁻(aq)+ H⁺(aq); i ⪆ 1

The Ba(OH)₂ solution has the greatest i-value. It therefore has the greatest freezing point depression and the lowest freezing point.
