The equilibrium vapour pressure is typically the pressure exerted by a liquid .... it is A FUNCTION of temperature...

Explanation:

By way of example, chemists and physicists habitually use

saturated vapour pressure

...where

SVP

is the vapour pressure exerted by liquid water. At

100

∘

SVP

⋅

. Why?

Well, because this is the normal boiling point of water: i.e. the conditions of pressure (i.e. here

⋅

) and temperature, here

100

∘

, at which the VAPOUR PRESSURE of the liquid is ONE ATMOSPHERE...and bubbles of vapour form directly in the liquid. As an undergraduate you should commit this definition, or your text definition, to memory...

At lower temperatures, water exerts a much lower vapour pressure...but these should often be used in calculations...especially when a gas is collected by water displacement. Tables of

saturated vapour pressure

are available.

Which is a practical application of boiling-point elevation?

pishuonlain [190]

Boiling-point is the point of a pure liquid matter starts to evaporate and change into gaseous phase. It is where the set of conditions such as the pressure and temperature enough to do so. Boiling-point elevation, on the other hand, is the phenomenon of which the boiling point of a pure liquid matter is elevated because of the dissolved substances. A great example would be the boiling point of a distilled water (pure water) which is lesser than the boiling point of a sea water because of the dissolved salts. A pure water boils at 100°C at atmospheric pressure while a salt water boils at higher temperature than 100°C at the same pressure. Thus, the answer is D.

Seawater is composed of salt, sand, and water. is seawater a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture? explain

Umnica [9.8K]

A mixture is said to be homogeneous if its composition is uniform throughout the mixture. They are referred to as solutions. On the other hand, heterogeneous mixture does not have uniform composition. The substances present in the mixture have visible difference or phases.

Sea water is composed of salt, sand and water. Here, salt and water form homogeneous mixture but due to the presence of sand, the mixture is heterogeneous. Salt dissolves in water and the solution has uniform composition but sand does not dissolve in water, even after vigorous mixing, after some time it settles at the bottom resulting formation of layers. Thus, sea water containing salt, water and sand is a heterogeneous mixture.

Ethanol (c2h6o) is a common intoxicant and fuel produced from the fermentation of various grains. how many moles of ethanol are

Lynna [10]

n = m / M

Where, n is moles of the compound (mol), m is the mass of the compound (g) and M is the molar mass of the compound (g/mol)

Here, the given ethanol mass = 50.0 kg = 50.0 x 10³ g

Molar mass of the ethanol = (12 x 2 + 1x 6 + 1 x 16) g/mol
= 46 g/mol

Hence, moles in 50.0kg of ethanol = 50.0 x 10³ g / 46 g/mol
= 1086.96 mol

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

0.99 pounds

2,000 oz

0.423 cups

Explanation:

In order to convert this units we need to look up their equivalences.

1 g equals 0,0022 pounds approximately

Then we need to cross-multiply:

$\frac{1 g}{0.0022 pounds} = \frac{450 g}{ Xpounds} \\x = \frac{450 g x 0.0022 pounds}{1 g}$

450 g equals 0.99 pounds approximately

We can do the same calculation for the other 2 ingredients

1 g equals 16 oz

Then (125 g x 16 oz) / 1 oz = 2,000 oz (or 500 4 oz)

1 cup equals 236.59 ml

Then (100 ml x 1 cup)/ 236.59 = 0.423 cups
