The vapor pressure of water is 23.76 mm Hg at 25 °C. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves in water is sucrose. Calculate
MrRissso [65]

Answer : The vapor pressure of solution is 23.67 mmHg.

Solution:

As the relative lowering of vapor pressure is directly proportional to the amount of dissolved solute.

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be,

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=\frac{w_2M_1}{w_1M_2}

where,

p^o = vapor pressure of pure solvent  (water) = 23.76 mmHg

p_s = vapor pressure of solution= ?

w_2 = mass of solute  (sucrose) = 12.25 g

w_1 = mass of solvent  (water) = 176.3 g

M_1 = molar mass of solvent (water) = 18.02 g/mole

M_2 = molar mass of solute (sucrose) = 342.3 g/mole

Now put all the given values in this formula ,we get the vapor pressure of the solution.

\frac{23.76-p_s}{23.76}=\frac{12.25\times 18.02}{176.3\times 342.3}

p_s=23.67mmHg

Therefore, the vapor pressure of solution is 23.67 mmHg.

Which two elements have the most similar chemical properties?
Sedbober [7]

atoms are made of 3 types of sub atomic particles- protons, neutrons and electrons

from these 3 particles, electrons are responsible for participating in chemical bonds. therefore chemical properties of elements are based on the number of electrons present.

valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outermost energy shell that are involved in chemical bonds.

atoms with same number of valence electrons are grouped in to columns called groups.

therefore elements of the same group have same number of valence electrons, hence similar chemical properties.

from the options given

only Be and Mg belong to the same group they both belong to group 2 with 2 valence electrons

therefore Be and Mg have similar chemical properties

answer is

1) Be and Mg

A rigid container of gas has a pressure of 1.72 atm and temperature of 21 oC. If the temperature increases to 85 oC, what is the
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

the new pressure is 2.09 atm

Explanation:

you have to use gay lussac's law so the formula is

p1/t1 = p2/t2

and convert C to Kelvin k=C+273.15

1.72atm/294.15 = p2/358.15

solve for p2 by multiplying 358.15 on both sides

p2=2.09 atm
