Answer:

1) Temperature

When salts like KNO3, NANO3 and KCl are added in water the test tube ecomes cold, which means the heat is being absorbed. Solubility usually increases with increase in temperature for such solutes.

On the other hand, when salts like Li2SO4 and Ce2(SO4)3 are dissolved in water, test tube turns warm which indicates the heat is released. In such cases the solubility of salt decreases with increase in temperature.

In some cases,the heat is neither absorbed nor releasedwhen dissolved in water. When salts like NaCl is added in water, the temperature remains the same, and hence temperature has minimal effect on solubility.

2) Pressure

The solubility of solid and liquids aren't affected by pressure but the solubility of gas in a liquid is directly propotional to the pressure of gas. This is also explained through Henry's Law. i.e.

m ∝ P or m = KP

where "m" is the amount of gas dissolved.

Hope that helps, it might be a little too detailed and lenthy, but it explains everything you asked.

Explanation:

There are two direct factors that affect solubility: temperature and pressure. Temperature affects the solubility of both solids and gases, but pressure only affects the solubility of gases.

A sample of octane (c8h18 that has a mass of 0.750 g is burned in a bomb calorimeter. as a result, the temperature of the calori
timurjin [86]
In a closed system, heat should be conserved which means that the heat produced in the calorimeter is equal to the heat released by the combustion reaction. We calculate as follows:

Heat of the combustion reaction = mC(T2-T1)
                                                          = 1 (1.50) (41-21)
                                                          = 30 kJ

One way to determine the degree of saturation of a solid-liquid solution is to drop a crystal of the solute into the solution.
Dafna1 [17]

The answer is D: Saturated.

A saturated solution is one in which the exact maximum amount of solute has been dissolved.  So, new solute will not dissolve in the solution.  In contrast, an unsaturated solution can hold more solute, so if that option were correct, the crystal would have dissolved.

The other two terms are a bit more complicated.  A supersaturated solution is one holding an amount of solute above the sustainable limit.  Because of that, when more solute is added, the solution will immediately adjust, and some solute will come out of solution in a precipitate.  Because the crystal isn't growing, we can eliminate this option.

A concentrated solution is one holding a relatively large amount of solute.  However, you can have concentrated solutions that are saturated and unconcentrated (the word for this is dilute) solutions that aren't saturated.  Therefore, we can say that because the crystal doesn't dissolve, this solution is saturated, but we can't say with certainty that it is concentrated.

Because the first three options are invalid, as described above, while the scenario does describe a saturated solution, D is the correct answer.

Gases A and B are confined to a cylinder and piston and react to form product C. As the reaction occurs, the system loses 1189 J
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The change in the internal energy of the system -878 J

Explanation:

Given;

energy lost by the system due to heat, Q = -1189 J (negative because energy was lost by the system)

Work done on the system, W = -311 J (negative because work was done on the system)

change in internal energy of the system, Δ U = ?

First law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system (ΔU) equals the net heat transfer into the system (Q) minus the net work done by the system (W).

ΔU = Q - W

ΔU = -1189 - (-311)

ΔU = -1189 + 311

ΔU = -878 J

Therefore, the change in the internal energy of the system -878 J
