Water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C, what could be the reason?

Answer:

You are not at sea level.

Explanation:

Assuming empirical observation shows boiling point 'below' 100°C then one concludes boiling experiment is being conducted above sea level where air pressure is lower than sea level air pressure. Generally, it is accepted in most literature publications that atmospheric pressure decreases ~1-inch per 1000-ft increase in elevation.

By definition, the boiling point of a liquid occurs when the atmospheric pressure equals fluid vapor pressure. Thus, if experimentally a water sample  boils less than 100°C then one can only conclude the atmospheric pressure is lower than that needed to boil water at sea level atmospheric pressure; i.e., observed boiling point is at elevation greater than sea level.

One can calculate the boiling point of a liquid relative to sea level boiling point by using the Clausis-Clapeyron Equation.

ln(VP₂/VP₁) = ΔH(vap)/R(T₁ - T₂/T₁·T₂) solve for T₂ given Heat of Vaporization of water (ΔH(vap) = 28.2 Kj/mol) at specified temperature (T₁ at sea level = 273 Kelvin - standard) and R = 0.008314 Kj/mol-K).

What type of chemist studies how materials conduct electricity?
e-lub [12.9K]

Explanation:

The study of interaction between the chemical substances is known as chemistry and the person who does this study is called a chemical scientist. Everything around us is made up of matter and the interaction between this matters for one or different substances.

Conduits lead electrical flow in all respects effectively as a result of their free electrons. Separators restrict electrical flow and make poor transmitters. Some basic channels are copper, aluminium, gold, and silver. Some regular encasing are glass, air, plastic, elastic, and wood.

75 mL of water is added to a 360 mL solution of acetic acid with a concentration of 0.87 M. Determine the molarity of the new so
kramer

Answer:

The molarity of the new solution is 0.72 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the original solution = 360 mL =.360 L

Molarity = 0.87 M

We add 75 mL = 0.075 L

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = molarity * volume

Moles = 0.87 M * 0.360 L

Moles = 0.3132 moles

Step 3: Calculate new molarity

The number of moles stays constant

Molarity = moles / volume

Molarity = 0.3132 moles / (0.36+0.075)

Molarity = 0.3132 moles / 0.435 L

Molarity = 0.72 M

The molarity of the new solution is 0.72 M

Answer:Crystalline solids have well-defined edges and faces, diffract x-rays, and tend to have sharp melting points. In contrast, amorphous solids have irregular or curved surfaces, do not give well-resolved x-ray diffraction patterns, and melt over a wide range of temperatures.

How many carbon atoms are represented by the model below<br><br> A) 0<br> B) 3<br> C) 2<br> D) 1
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Option (B) 3.

Explanation:

In the model represented above, the two extreme represent carbon atoms since no other group are attached to it. The joint at the middle also represent carbon atom.

Thus, we can write a more simplify illustration for the model above as

C—C—C

From the above illustration, we can see that the model contains 3 carbon atom.
