When considering metal complexation with EDTA, if you are comparing 2 metals, the metal with a higher ____________ will react wi

DENIUS [597]

If you are comparing 2 metals, the metal with a higher <u>Number of free ions</u> will react with EDTA first

<h3>What is EDTA ?</h3>

EDTA is a type of chemical which binds certain metal ions such as calcium and magnesium. some of the functions of EDTA includes:

Preventing blood clotting of blood samples
prevention of the formation of Biofilm by bacterias

The EDTA will readily react with metals which have a hiogher number of free ions that it can bind with.

Hence we can conclude that If you are comparing 2 metals, the metal with a higher <u>Number of free ions</u> will react with EDTA first.

A 50/50 blend of engine coolant and water (by volume) is usually used in an automobile's engine cooling system. If a car's cooli

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{109.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}}$

Explanation:

Data:

50/50 ethylene glycol (EG):water

V = 4.70 gal

ρ(EG) = 1.11 g/mL

ρ(water) = 0.988 g/mL

Calculations:

The formula for the boiling point elevation ΔTb is

$\Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}b$

i is the van’t Hoff factor — the number of moles of particles you get from 1 mol of solute. For EG, i = 1.

1. Moles of EG

$\rm n = 0.50 \times \text{4.70 gal} \times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{1000 mL}}{\text{1 L}} \times \dfrac{\text{1.11 g}}{\text{1 mL}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{62.07 g}} = \text{159 mol}$

2. Kilograms of water

$m = 0.50 \times \text{4.70 gal} \times \dfrac{\text{3.785 L}}{\text{1 gal}} \times \dfrac{\text{998 g}}{\text{1 L}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{1000 g}} = \text{8.88 kg}$

3. Molal concentration of EG

$b = \dfrac{\text{159 mol}}{\text{8.88 kg}} = \text{17.9 mol/kg}$

4. Increase in boiling point

$\rm \Delta T_{b} = iK_{b}b = 1 \times 0.512 \, \, ^{\circ}\text{C} \cdot kg \cdot mol^{-1} \, \times 17.9 \cdot mol \cdot kg^{-1} = 9.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}$

5. Boiling point

$\rm T_{b} = T_{b}^{\circ} + \Delta T_{b} = 100.00 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} + 9.17 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} = \mathbf{109.17 \, ^{\circ}C}\\\rm \text{The boiling point of the solution is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{109.17 \, ^{\circ}C}}$}$

You are making homemade ice cream and can use either 200 g Ice Melt (CaCl2) or 200 g rock salt (NaCl) to lower the freezing poin

mash [69]

Answer:

Calcium chloride (CaCl2) would help me eat my ice cream faster

Explanation:

Addition of salt to ice melts the lowers the freezing temperature of the ice thus melting the ice easily

Adding calcium chloride to my ice cream would help me eat it faster because the melting point of calcium chloride (772°C) is lower than that of sodium chloride (melting point is 801°C). Calcium chloride would melt my ice cream faster because of its lower melting point
