Answer:

vapor pressure of methanol at 12.0C = 75.09 torr

Explanation:

Using Clausius Clapeyron equation

, we have that

ln (P2/P1)= (ΔHvap /R) (1/T1 - 1/T2)

Given

At Normal boiling point,

Temperature T1= 64.6°C = 64.6 + 273 = 337.6 K, Pressure,P1 = 1 atm

Heat of vaporization = 35.2 kJ/mol

Changing to J/mol

=35.2 x 1000= 35200 J/mol

Temperature , T2 = 12.0oC = 12 + 273 = 285 K

Using gas constant, R = 8.314 J/mol.K

ln (P2/P1)= -(ΔHvap /R) (1/T1 - 1/T2)

ln (P2/ 1 atm) = (35200 J/mol/ (8.314 J/mol.K) X( 1/337.6 - 1/285)

ln (P2/ 1 atm) =4,233.822 X (0.00296-0.003508)

ln (P2/ 1 atm) = 4,233.822468 x-0.0005466866

ln (P2/ 1 atm)= -2.31457

P2 = e^⁻2.31457 x 1 atm

P2=0.098808atm

= 0.098808atm x760 = 75.09 torr

Which of the following molecules is diamagnetic according to molecular orbital theory? A) N₂⁺ B) N₂⁻ C) CN D) CN⁻

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

D) CN⁻

Explanation:

Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity state that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-levels (p,d, and f ) singly before pairing commences. Hund's rule is useful in determining the number of unpaired electrons in an atom. As such, it explains some magnetic properties of elements.

An element whose atoms or molecules contain unpaired electrons is paramagnetic. i.e., weakly attracted to substances in a magnetic field.

On the other hand, the element whose atoms or molecules are filled up with paired electrons is known as diamagnetic, i.e., not attracted by magnetic substances.

According to the molecular orbital theory, the diamagnetic molecule is CN⁻ because of the absence of unpaired electrons.

Suppose the half-life is 9.0 s for a first order reaction and the reactant concentration is 0.0741 M 50.7 s after the reaction s

bazaltina [42]

<u>Answer:</u> The time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half-life of the reaction = 9.0 s

k = rate constant = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{9}=0.077s^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$ ......(1)

where,

k = rate constant = $0.077s^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = 50.7 sec

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the reactant = ?

[A] = amount left after decay process = 0.0741 M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.077=\frac{2.303}{50.7}\log\frac{[A_o]}{0.0741}$

$[A_o]=3.67M$

Now, calculating the time taken by using equation 1:

$[A]=0.0055M$

$k=0.077s^{-1}$

$[A_o]=3.67M$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.077=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{3.67}{0.0055}\\\\t=84.5s$

Hence, the time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

The solubility of magnesium phosphate at a given temperature is 0.173 g/L. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature. After you calc

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: $K_{sp}=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=13.90$

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as $K_{sp}$

The equation for the ionization of magnesium phosphate is given as:

$Mg_3(PO_4)_2\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}$

When the solubility of $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$ is S moles/liter, then the solubility of $Mg^{2+}$ will be 3S moles\liter and solubility of $PO_4^{3-}$ will be 2S moles/liter.

Thus S = 0.173 g/L or $\frac{0.173g/L}{262.8g/mol}=0.00065mol/L$

$K_{sp}=(3S)^3\times (2S)^2$

$K_{sp}=108S^5$

$K_{sp}=108\times (0.00065)^5=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=-log(K_{sp})=\log (1.25\times 10^{-14})=13.90$

What does it mean to say B is representing the dominant gene

Degger [83]

Answer:

Dominant genes are always represented by a capital letter which in this case is the letter B whereas recessive genes will be represented by a lower case letter like b.

You only need one copy of a dominant gene or allele to inherit it. A dominant allele is always expressed even if only one copy is present.

But you need two copies of genes or alleles to inherit the recessive gene. There also can't be a dominant allele of the gene if you are to inherit this.
