The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which aqueous solution has the highest vapor pressure at 25ºC?

15.0g of glucose (C6H12O6) in 100.0mL of water

25.0g of glucose (C6H12O6) in 100.0mL of water

15.0g of sucrose (C12H22O11) in 100.0mL of water

25.0g of sucrose (C12H22O11) in 100.0mL of water

Answer:

15.0g of sucrose (C12H22O11) in 100.0mL of water

Explanation:

The vapor pressure of a substance is a colligative property. Colligative properties are the properties of a substance that depend on the amount of solute present.

Since vapour pressure is a colligative property, we have to look out for the solution that has the lowest number of moles because as more solute is dissolved in the solvent, the vapor pressure of the solvent decreases.

Hence, 15.0g of sucrose (C12H22O11) in 100.0mL of water has the lowest number of moles in solution thus it is expected to exhibit the highest vapour pressure.

Explain why energy sources do not have 100% efficiency. Why do you think some have lower efficiencies?

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Energy sources do not have 100% efficiency because the processes of energy conversion to usable forms involves energy losses.

Some have lower efficiencies due to; energy losses in form of heat during conversion, poor technology applied during conversion of energy and lack of desire equipment to use in the energy conversion system.

Explanation:

The desired form of energy for use is derived from conversion of energy from the source using an energy converter into another form which is usable. The efficiency of the energy converter is calculated as;

л = output energy/input energy

The efficiency of energy is limited to the cost of equipment required for conversion from energy source by the energy converter to a form which is usable. Additionally, because energy sources are scarce, the technology to use in energy conversion is a factor affecting energy efficiency in that high efficiency will require advanced technology with better equipment leading higher costs of that energy form. when heat losses are involved during energy conversion, efficiency lowers, thus its better if such losses are used as energy input in another system.

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula: E = R_y/n^2 In this equation R_y stands

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The wavelength of the line in the emission line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron for the given energy levels is $5.23\times 10^{-5} m$

Explanation:

Given :

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula:

$E=\frac{R_y}{n^2}$

$R_y=2.18\times 10^{-18} J$ = Rydberg energy

n = principal quantum number of the orbital

Energy of 11th orbit = $E_{11}$

$E_{11}=\frac{2.18\times 10^{-18} J}{11^2}=1.80\times 10^{-20} J$

Energy of 10th orbit = $E_{10}$

$E_{10}=\frac{2.18\times 10^{-18} J}{10^2}=2.18\times 10^{-20} J$

Energy difference between both the levels will corresponds to the energy of the wavelength of the line which can be calculated by using Planck's equation.

$E'=E_{10}-E_{11}=2.18\times 10^{-20} J-1.80\times 10^{-20} J$

$=E'=0.38\times 10^{-20} J$

$\lambda =\frac{hc}{E'}$ (Planck's' equation)

$\lambda = \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{0.38\times 10^{-20} J}$

$\lambda = 5.2310\times 10^{-5} m\approx 5.23\times 10^{-5} m$

The wavelength of the line in the emission line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron for the given energy levels is $5.23\times 10^{-5} m$

You need to determine the specific gravity of a sample. After putting the sample on a lab scale, you know it has a mass of 85 gr

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Specific gravity of the sample = 8.947

Explanation:

Specific gravity of a substance is defined as the density of that substance divided by the density of water.

Density of water = 1000g/l

Density of substance = mass/volume

= 85/9.5 x 10^-3

= 8947.37 g/l

SG = 8947.37/1000

= 8.947
