In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 11.01 grams of the compound were dissolved t

o make 158.1 mL of a ethanol solution, the osmotic pressure generated was 1.91 atm at 298 K. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte. What is the molecular weight they determined for this compound?

Answer:

892 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

  • Mass of the nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte solute: 11.01 g
  • Volume of solution: 158.1 mL = 0.1581 L
  • Osmotic pressure (π): 1.91 atm
  • Ideal gas constant (R): 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K
  • Absolute temperature (T): 298 K

Step 2: Calculate the molarity (M) of the solution

The osmotic pressure is a colligative property that can be calculated using the following expression.

π = M × R × T

M = π / R × T

M = 1.91 atm / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 298 K

M = 0.0781 M

Step 3: Calculate the molecular weight of the solute

We will use the following expression for molarity.

M = mass of solute / molecular weight of solute × liters of solution

molecular weight of solute = mass of solute / M × liters of solution

molecular weight of solute = 11.01 g / (0.0781 mol/L) × 0.1581 L

molecular weight of solute = 892 g/mol

Which statement is a valid conclusion about the activation energy of the reverse reaction if the forward reaction is exothermic?
babunello [35]

Answer:

e) The activation energy of the reverse reaction is greater than that of the forward reaction.

Explanation:

  • Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required by the reactants to start a reaction.
  • An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat energy to the surrounding while an endothermic reactions is a reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding.
  • <em><u>In reversible reactions, when the forward reaction is exothermic it means the reverse reaction will be endothermic, therefore the reverse reaction will have a higher activation energy than the forward reaction.</u></em> The activation energy of the reverse reaction will be the sum of the enthalpy and the activation energy of the forward reaction.

Seawater has a ph of 8.1. what is the concentration of oh–?
lara31 [8.8K]
PH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is.
pH can be calculated as follows;
by knowing the ph we can calculate pOH
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 8.1 
pOH = 5.9 
pOH is used to calculate the hydroxide ion concentration 
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 1.26 x 10⁻⁶ M
therefore hydroxide ion concentration is 1.26 x 10⁻⁶ M

Express the quantity 556.2 x 10^-12 in each units<br> A.) ms<br> B.) ns<br> C.) ps<br> D.) fs
zavuch27 [327]
The answer:
we should know the meaning of each abbreviation:
ms means  millisecond, its value is 10^-3 s 
ns means  means  nanosecond,   its value is 10^-9 s
ps means  picosecond, its value is 10^-12 s
fs means  femtosecond, its value is 1x 10^15 s

<span>Expressions of the quantity 556.2 x 10^-12 are</span>
556.2 x 10^-12 =556.2 ps
556.2 x 10^-12 =556.2 x 10^-9 x 10^-3= 556.2 x 10^-9 ms
556.2 x 10^-12 = 556.2 x 10^-3 x 10^-9 = 556.2 x 10^-3 ns
556.2 x 10^-12 = 556.2 x 10^- 27 x 10^15 = 556.2 x 10^- 27 fs
