At sea level water usually boils at 100. °C and 760. mmHg pressure. On Mt Whitney, the pressure is about 560. mmHg. At what temp
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

  91.7°C

Explanation:

We suppose you have a formula to work from. However, that is not supplied with this problem statement, so we looked one up.

The formula in the attachment is supposed to have good accuracy in the temperature range of interest. It gives vapor pressure of water in kPa, not mmHg, so we needed the conversion for that, too.

560 mmHg corresponds to about 74.66 kPa. The attached "Buck equation" formula is used to find the corresponding temperature. The exponential equation could be solved algebraically using logarithms and the quadratic formula, but we choose to find the solution graphically.

Water boils at about 91.7 °C on Mt. Whitney.

What is the charge on an ion that has an atomic number of 16 and contains 14e-?
lora16 [44]
The answer would be 2+ since the atomic number represents how many protons are in the element. In this case, there are 16 protons, but only 14 electrons, which means there are an additional 2 protons, hence the 2+ charge on the ion.

What is the ph of a 4.8 m pyridine solution that has kb = 1.9 × 10-9? the equation for the dissociation of pyridine is?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer: 9.98


Explanation:


1) The equation for the dissociation of pyridine is:


C₅H₅N₅(aq )+ H₂O(l) ⇄ C₅H₅NH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)


2) Kb equation:


Kb = [C₅H₅NH⁺(aq)] [OH⁻(aq)] / [C₅H₅N₅(aq )]


Where:


[C₅H₅NH⁺(aq)] = [OH⁻(aq)] ← from the equilibrium reaction


[C₅H₅N₅(aq )] = 4.8 M ← from the statement


⇒ 1.9 × 10 ⁻⁹ = x² / 4.8 ⇒ x² = 9.12 × 10⁻⁹


⇒ x = 9.55 × 10⁻⁵ = [OH⁻(aq)]


3) pOH


pOH = - log [OH⁻(aq)] = 4.02


4) pOH + pH = 14


⇒ pH = 14 - 4.02 = 9.98

What is the energy that occurs in teh conversion of an ion ic solid to a widely spread gas?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The sublimation energy

Explanation:

When an ionic solid turns into a gas it is changing from solid state to gas state without going throught liquid state. This process is called sublimation and the energy will be equal to \Delta H_{sublimation}
