Assume you find four bottles in an empty laboratory, each containing a liquid. The labels that were on these bottles have fallen

off and are strewn about the bench top. Therefore, you know the contents of the four bottles, but do not know which bottle belonged to which compound. The names on the labels are given below:
trans-1,2-dichloroethylene,
cis-1,2-dichloroethylene,
cyclooctane,
and acetic acid.

Without determining the boiling point, would you be able to identify the contents of each bottle using solubility and polarity (with H2O) information? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

No, I can not identify the contents of each bottle using solubility and polarity (with H2O) information

Explanation:

While it is true that polar substances dissolve in water and nonpolar substances do not dissolve in water, the task here is to specifically identify the contents of each of the bottles.

Solubility in water can not tell us exactly what liquid is which substance. For instance, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, cis-1,2-dichloroethylene and cyclooctane are all insoluble in water. The fact that they do not dissolve in water does not tell us which liquid is which compound.

Even though acetic acid is miscible with water, it is not a conclusive prove that the liquid is acetic acid since other polar organic compounds are also miscible in water.

It is only by determining the boiling point of each substance that I can conclusively identify the contents of each bottle since boiling point is an intrinsic property of substances.

Based on the three formulas shown, use one of them to solve for the purple yellow and red box and explain how you did it.
zysi [14]

P = 11.133 atm (purple)

T = -236.733 °C(yellow)

n = 0.174 mol(red)

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Some of the laws regarding gas, can apply to ideal gas (volume expansion does not occur when the gas is heated),:  

  • Boyle's law at constant T, P = 1 / V  
  • Charles's law, at constant P, V = T  
  • Avogadro's law, at constant P and T, V = n  

So that the three laws can be combined into a single gas equation, the ideal gas equation  

In general, the gas equation can be written  

\large {\boxed {\bold {PV = nRT}}}

where  

P = pressure, atm  

V = volume, liter  

n = number of moles  

R = gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm / mol K  

T = temperature, Kelvin  

To choose the formula used, we refer to the data provided

Because the data provided are temperature, pressure, volume and moles, than we use the formula PV = nRT

  • Purple box

T= 10 +273.15 = 373.15 K

V=5.5 L

n=2 mol

\tt P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\P=\dfrac{2\times 0.08205\times 373.15}{5.5}\\\\P=11.133~atm

  • Yellow box

V=8.3 L

P=1.8 atm

n=5 mol

\tt T=\dfrac{PV}{nR}\\\\T=\dfrac{1.8\times 8.3}{5\times 0.08205}\\\\T=36.42~K=-236.733^oC

  • Red box

T = 12 + 273.15 = 285.15 K

V=3.4 L

P=1.2 atm

\tt n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\\n=\dfrac{1.2\times 3.4}{0.08205\times 285.15}\\\\n=0.174~mol

If 3.0g of H20 actually forms what is the percentage yield
Sati [7]
Percent yield is expressed as the ratio of the actual yield and the theoretical yield of the reaction multiplied by 100 to get the percent value. The actual yield is usually given in a problem. The theoretical yield is calculated from the reaction. For this problem, it cannot be solved since we cannot obtain the theoretical yield.

Which arrows represents the phase transitions in which he's energy is gained
ipn [44]
The correct answer would be the first option. The arrows 1, 2 and 3 represent the phase transitions where heat energy is gained. As heat energy is gained the kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance is increased which would cause them to change phases from solid to liquid and to gas.
