Which is a valid reason why total dissolved solids (TDS) cannot be accurately calculated by conductivity alone?

Chemistry
1 answer:
uranmaximum [27]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct option is the last option (Some dissolved solids may be nonelectrolytes)

Explanation:

<u>Total dissolved solids (TDS) cannot be calculated by conductivity alone because conductivity involves ionic charges and there are solids that dissolve in water but do not carry ionic charges (and thus form non-electrolytes)</u>. Examples include sucrose (common sugar) and glucose. These two solids will dissolve in water but would not form ions that will carry ionic charges which are responsible for conductivity. Thus, if TDS only depends solely on conductivity, then a solution that contains dissolved sucrose will be wrongly accounted for as the sucrose will be omitted from the dissolved substances.

Complete combustion of 5.90 g of a hydrocarbon produced 18.8 g of CO2 and 6.75 g of H2O.
Inessa05 [86]
First we have to find moles of C:
Molar mass of CO2:
12*1+16*2 = 44g/mol
(18.8 g CO2) / (44.00964 g CO2/mol) x (1 mol C/ 1 mol CO2) =0.427 mol C 
Molar mass of H2O:
2*1+16 = 18g/mol
As there is 2 moles of H in H2O,
So,

<span>(6.75 g H2O) / (18.01532 g H2O/mol) x (2 mol H / 1 mol H2O) = 0.74mol H </span>

<span>Divide both number of moles by the smaller number of moles: </span>
<span>As Smaaler no moles is 0.427:
So,
Dividing both number os moles by 0.427 :
(0.427 mol C) / 0.427 = 1.000 </span>
<span>(0.74 mol H) / 0.427 = 1.733 </span>

<span>To achieve integer coefficients, multiply by 2, then round to the nearest whole numbers to find the empirical formula: 
C = 1 * 2 = 2
H = 1.733 * 2 =3.466
So , the empirical formula is C2H3</span>

At 700 K, the reaction below has an Kp value of 54. An equilibrium mixture at this temperature was found to contain 0.933 atm of
kati45 [8]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, we have the equilibrium reaction which is:

H₂ + I₂ <------> 2HI       Kp = 54

Now, we have the partial pressures of each element in equilibrium, therefore, we can use the expression of equilibrium in this case to calculate the remaining pressure:

Kp = PpHI² / PpH₂ * PpI₂

Solving for the partial pressure of iodine:

PpI₂ = PpHI² / PpH₂ * Kp

Replacing the given values, we have:

PpI₂ = (2.1)² / 0.933 * 54

PpI₂ = 4.41 / 50.382

PpI₂ = 0.088 atm
