Answer:

Entropy change is favorable when a nonpolar molecule is transferred from water to a nonpolar solvent.

Explanation:

A nonpolar molecule is not miscible in water (polar solvent). Therefore, when mixed together, each specie will cluster together and solvation will not happen.

However, when you tranfer the nonpolar molecule to a nonpolar solvent, the solvent molecules will interact with the nonpolar molecule. This will increase entropy as the level of disorder will increase with solvation.

Is material that has a density of 0.2g/ml good for building a bridge or for making couch cushions

lisov135 [29]

D = 0.2 g / ml = 0.2 g / cm³
For example, density of steel is 7.85 g / cm³.
Density of pure water is 1.0 g/cm³. An object which has a density < 1.0 g/cm³ will float in water.
Answer: Material that has a density of 0.2 g/ml ( 0.2 g/cm³ ) is good for making couch cushions.

List several other words that are formed using the prefix mon or mono what do these words have in common

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1) Monochrome

2) Monocot

3) Monosaccharide

4) Monounsaturated

5) Monoxide

Explanation:

The prefix mono or mon is of Greek origin and it means single, lone or one.

From the meaning of the words we can tell that they have something in common:

1) Monochrome: This refers to an artwork, a painting or drawing that has just one color.

2) Monocot: This is a type of flowering plant that has a single embryo and a single cotyledon.

3) Monosaccharide: This is a type of simple sugar that contains one sugar unit that cannot be split.

4) Monounsaturated: This refers to a molecule that contains one double or triple bond.

5) Monoxide: This refers to a form of oxide that contains only one oxygen atom.

From the definitions above, all the words mean having only one or a single item.

That is what they have in common.

Calculate each of the following quantities. (a) Mass (g) of solute in 175.4 mL of 0.267 M calcium acetate WebAssign will check y

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

a) 7.40 grams

b) 0.213 M

c) 102 moles

Explanation:

(a) Mass (g) of solute in 175.4 mL of 0.267 M calcium acetate

Step 1: Data given

Volume = 175.4 mL = 0.1754 L

Molarity = 0.267 M

Molar mass = 158.17 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = molarity * volume

Moles = 0.267 M * 0.1754 L

Moles = 0.0468 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass

Mass = 0.0468 moles * 158.17 g/mol

<u>Mass = 7.40 grams</u>

b) Molarity of 597 mL solution containing 21.1 g of potassium iodide

Step 1: Data given

Volume = 597 mL = 0.597 L

Mass = 21.1 grams

Molar mass KI = 166.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles KI

Moles KI = 21.1 grams / 166.0 g/mol

Moles KI = 0.127 moles

Step 3: Calculate molarity

Molarity = moles / volume

Molarity = 0.127 moles / 0.597 L

Molarity = 0.213 M

Step 1: Data given

Volume = 145.6 L

Molarity = 0.703 M

Step 2: Calculate moles

moles = molarity * volume

Moles = 0.703 M * 145.6 L

Moles = 102 moles
