Norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂).

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

We will solve a case related to one of the colligative properties, namely freezing point depression.

The freezing point of the solution is the temperature at which the solution begins to freeze. The difference between the freezing point of the solvent and the freezing point of the solution is called freezing point depression.

$\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = T_f(solvent) - T_f(solution) \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = K_f \times molality \ }$

<u>Given:</u>

A mysterious white powder could be,

powdered sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) with a molar mass of 342.30 g/moles,
cocaine (C₁₇H₂₁NO₄) with a molar mass of 303.35 g/moles,
codeine (C₁₈H₂₁NO₃) with a molar mass of 299.36 g/moles,
norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂) with a molar mass of 153.18 g/moles, or
fructose (C₆H₁₂O₆) with a molar mass of 180.16 g/moles.

When 82 mg of the powder is dissolved in 1.50 mL of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/cm³, normal freezing point −114.6°C, Kf = 1.99°C/m), the freezing point is lowered to −115.5°C.

<u>Question: </u>What is the identity of the white powder?

<u>The Process:</u>

Let us identify the solute, the solvent, initial, and final temperatures.

The solute = the powder
The solvent = ethanol
The freezing point of the solvent = −114.6°C
The freezing point of the solution = −115.5°C

Prepare masses of solutes and solvents.

Mass of solute = 82 mg = 0.082 g
Mass of solvent = density x volume, i.e., $\boxed{ \ 0.789 \ \frac{g}{cm^3} \times 1.50 \ cm^3 = 1.1835 \ g = 0.00118 \ kg \ }$

We must prepare the solvent mass unit in kg because the unit of molality is the mole of the solute divided by the mass of the solvent in kg.

The molality formula is as follows:

$\boxed{ \ m = \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{kg \ of \ solvent} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }$

Now we combine it with the formula of freezing point depression.

$\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = K_f \times \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }$

It is clear that we will determine the molar mass of the solute (denoted by Mr).

We enter all data into the formula.

$\boxed{ \ -114.6^0C - (-115.5^0C) = 1.99 \frac{^0C}{m} \times \frac{0.082 \ g}{Mr \times 0.00118 \ kg} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 0.9 = \frac{1.99 \times 0.082}{Mr \times 0.00118} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ Mr = \frac{0.16318}{0.9 \times 0.00118} \ }$

We get $\boxed{ \ Mr = 153.65 \ }$

These results are very close to the molar mass of norfenefrine which is 153.18 g/mol. Thus the white powder is norfenefrine.

I believe the answer is the last one answer D: Neutral elements

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed through the exchange of valence electrons between atoms, typically a metal and a nonmetal. ... Ionic compounds are typically neutral. Ionic compounds generally form between elements that are metals and elements that are nonmetals.

G. whose vapour

german

Answer:

8.33 hours

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must apply Graham's law of diffusion in gases. Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its vapour density. For two gases we can write;

R1/R2=√d2/d1

Where;

R1= rate of diffusion of hydrogen

R2= rate diffusion of unknown gas

d1= vapour density of hydrogen

d2= vapour density of the unknown gas

Volume of hydrogen gas = 360cm^3

Time taken for hydrogen gas to diffuse= 1 hour =3600 secs

R1 = 360 cm^3/3600 secs = 0.1 cm^3 s-1

Vapour density of unknown gas = 25

Vapour density of hydrogen = 1

Substituting values,

0.1/R2 = √25/1

0.1/R2 = 5/1

5R2 = 0.1 × 1

R2 = 0.1/5

R2= 0.02 cm^3s-1

Volume of unknown gas = 600cm^3

Time taken for unknown gas to diffuse= volume of unknown gas/ rate of diffusion of unknown gas

Time taken for unknown gas to diffuse= 600/0.02

Time= 30,000 seconds or 8.33 hours
