Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) (01.01 MC) Dominic and Eva are using the same type of stopwatches to measure the time

LekaFEV [45]

The results of Dominic and Eva's experiment is unreliable and can lead to a pseudoscientific claim primarily because they did not repeat their tests multiple times. Although, they used the same type of stopwatch in recording the time it takes for the chemical reaction to occur, they have different reactions times. Thus, it would have been better if they conducted several trials then obtained the average of their results.

A student is given a 2.002 g sample of unknown acid and is told that it might be butanoic acid, a monoprotic acid (HC4H7O2, equa

Elina [12.6K]

Answer: The identity of the unknown acid is butanoic acid or ascorbic acid.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.570 M

Volume of solution = 39.55 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.570M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}\times 1000}{39.55}\\\\\text{Moles of NaOH}=\frac{0.570\times 39.55}{1000}=0.0225mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and monoprotic acid follows:

$NaOH+HX\rightarrow NaX+H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HX

So, moles of monoprotic acid = 0.0225 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and diprotic acid follows:

$2NaOH+H_2X\rightarrow 2NaX+2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of diprotic acid

So, moles of diprotic acid = $\frac{0.0225}{2}=0.01125moles$

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

For butanoic acid:

Mass of butanoic acid = 2.002 g

Molar mass of butanoic acid = 88 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of butanoic acid}=\frac{2.002g}{88g/mol}=0.02275mol$

For L-tartaric acid:

Mass of L-tartaric acid = 2.002 g

Molar mass of L-tartaric acid = 150 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of L-tartaric acid}=\frac{2.002g}{150g/mol}=0.0133mol$

For ascorbic acid:

Mass of ascorbic acid = 2.002 g

Molar mass of ascorbic acid = 176 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of ascorbic acid}=\frac{2.002g}{176g/mol}=0.01137mol$

As, the number of moles of butanoic acid and ascorbic acid is equal to the number of moles of acid getting neutralized.

Hence, the identity of the unknown acid is butanoic acid or ascorbic acid.

A pure white crystalline compound was found to melt at 112.5-113.0oC when taken on a melting point apparatus, and on further hea

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

According to the question, the determined melting point of the compound is 112.5-113.0oC. When the solidified compound was retried, the melting point was found to be 133.6-154.5oC. This greater range higher than 112°C is caused by reusing samples leads to errors.

A pure sample is known by its sharp melting point. A pure sample does not melt over a large range. We can see this in the predetermined melting points of the pure sample(112.5-113.0oC).

However, reusing a sample introduces errors because the pure sample may become contaminated leading to a larger and higher range of melting point (133.6-154.5oC) which is far above 112°C.
