Explanation:

If the density of the object is more than that of water, it will sink. Otherwise it will float. The density of water is 1 g/mL.

Substance 1,

Mass, m = 450 g, Volume, V = 90 mL

Density = mass/volume

So,

$d_1=\dfrac{450}{90}\\\\=5\ g/mL$

It will sink.

Substance 2,

Mass, m = 35 g, Volume, V = 70 mL

Density = mass/volume

So,

$d_2=\dfrac{35}{70}\\\\=0.5\ g/mL$

It will float.

Substance 3,

Mass, m = 24 g, Volume, V = 12 mL

Density = mass/volume

So,

$d_3=\dfrac{24}{12}\\\\=2\ g/mL$

It will sink.

Describe, in detail, how to make 5.5 liters of a 2.5 molar HCl solution from a 10.5 molar HCl stock solution.

Misha Larkins [42]

The stock solution contains 10.5 moles of HCl per litre. A 5.5 litre solution of 2.5M HCl contains 5.5x2.5 = 13.75moles of HCl. Since every litre of stock solution provides 10.5M HCl, the amount of stock solution needed is 13.75/10.5 = 1.309L. Therefore you would dilute 1.309L of stock solution to 5.5L

"To determine the amount of heroin in the mixture, you dissolve 1.00 g of the white powdery mixture in water in a 100.0-mL volum

UkoKoshka [18]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate osmotic pressure is as follows.

Osmotic pressure = concentration × gas constant × temperature( in K)

Temperature = $25^{o} C$

= (25 + 273) K

= 298.15 K

Osmotic pressure = 531 mm Hg or 0.698 atm (as 1 mm Hg = 0.00131)

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

0.698 = $C \times 0.082 \times 298.15 K
$

C = 0.0285

This also means that,

$\frac{\text{moles}}{\text{volume (in L)}}$ = 0.0285

So, moles = 0.0285 × volume (in L)

= 0.0285 × 0.100

= $2.85 \times 10^{-3
}$

Now, let us assume that mass of $C_{12}H_{23}O_{5}N$ = x grams

And, mass of $C_{12}H{22}O_{11}$ = (1.00 - x)

So, moles of $C_{12}H_{23}O_{5}N = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{x}{369}$

Now, moles of $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} = \frac{(1.00 - x)}{342}$

= $\frac{x}{369} + \frac{(1.00 - x)}{342}$

= $2.85 \times 10^{-3}$

= x = 0.346

Therefore, we can conclude that amount of $C_{12}H_{23}O_{5}N$ present is 0.346 g and amount of $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$ present is (1 - 0.346) g = 0.654 g.

What data should be plotted to show that experimental concentration data fits a first-order reaction? A) 1/[reactant] vs. time B

natita [175]

Answer:

C) In[reactant] vs. time

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the integrated rate law equation is:

$A = A_{0}e^{-kt}$

where A(0) = initial concentration of the reactant

A = concentration after time 't'

k = rate constant

Taking ln on both sides gives:

$ln[A] = ln[A]_{0}-kt$

Therefore a plot of ln[A] vs t should give a straight line with a slope = -k

Hence, ln[reactant] vs time should be plotted for a first order reaction.

What elements can join wit other elements o form a covalent bond

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Non metals join to form covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

Both atoms bonded through covalent bond.

In Cl₂ both chlorine atoms are bonded through the covalent bond.

What is the definition of Solvent

Helen [10]

A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "I loosen, untie, I solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute (a chemically distinct liquid, solid or gas), resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid or a gas. The quantity of solute that can dissolve in a specific volume of solvent varies with temperature. Common uses for organic solvents are in dry cleaning (e.g., tetrachloroethylene), as paint thinners (e.g., toluene, turpentine), as nail polish removers and glue solvents (acetone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate), in spot removers (e.g., hexane, petrol ether), in detergents (citrus terpenes) and in perfumes (ethanol). Water is a solvent for polar molecules and the most common solvent used by living things; all the ions and proteins in a cell are dissolved in water within a cell. Solvents find various applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, oil, and gas industries, including in chemical syntheses and purification processes.
