Which method of separation would be most appropriate for separating a mixture of water and alcohol?

To separate a mixture of alcohol and water, you can use a process known as fractional distillation. This technique relies on the fact that the compounds in the mixture have different boiling points.

Answer:C. distillation

Explanation:

Compounds having different boiling points when mixed can be separated by Fractional distillation.

Now when there is a mixture of water and alcohol, Upon heat, we would see that the alcohol will boil at a lower temperature than water for eg, ethanol will boil at 78.5 degrees Celsius, vaporizes and distills into the fractionating columns leaving the water which we know boils at 100 degrees Celsius.

A reaction was performed in which 3.6 g 3.6 g of benzoic acid was reacted with excess methanol to make 1.3 g 1.3 g of methyl ben

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: The percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For benzoic acid:

Given mass of benzoic acid = 3.6 g

Molar mass of benzoic acid = 122.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of benzoic acid}=\frac{3.6g}{122.12g/mol}=0.0295mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of benzoic acid and methanol is:

$\text{Benzoic acid + methanol}\rightarrow \text{methyl benzoate}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of benzoic acid produces 1 mole of methyl benzoate

So, 0.0295 moles of benzoic acid will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0295=0.108$ moles of methyl benzoate

Now, calculating the mass of methyl benzoate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of methyl benzoate = 136.15 g/mol

Moles of methyl benzoate = 0.0295 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0295mol=\frac{\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}}{136.15g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}=(0.0295mol\times 136.15g/mol)=4.02g$

To calculate the percentage yield of methyl benzoate, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of methyl benzoate = 1.3 g

Theoretical yield of methyl benzoate = 4.02 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of methyl benzoate}=\frac{1.3g}{4.02g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of methyl benzoate}=32.34\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

Un gas ocupa un volumen de 12 litros a una presión de 912 mm Hg. Si permanece constante la temperatura, ¿A qué presión el gas oc

adoni [48]

Answer:

The pressure occupied is 1, 8 atm.

Explanation:

We use the Boyle´s Mariotte ´s law: for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume vary inversely proportionally: P1xV1= P2xV2. The unit of pressure is converted to mmHg in atm.

760 mmHg----1 atm

912 mmHg---x= (912 mmHg x 1 atm)/760 mmHg=1,2 atm

P1xV1= P2xV2

P2=P1xV1/V2= 1,2 atm x 12 L/ 8L= 1, 8 atm

Katen [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molecules of a gas are relatively more compressible than those of liquids and solids because they are relatively far apart without any intermolecular forces between them. However, at lower temperature and higher pressure, there is now a significant intermolecular interaction between the gas molecules and they are no longer relatively far apart. Hence they are more compressible than liquids and solids which already possess significant intermolecular interaction and thus a definite volume.

Describe any new ways you can change the polarity of the three-atom molecule.

yan [13]

- By changing three atom bond angle , we can change molecular polarity. if bond angle is 120° and all atom has same electronegativity, the resultant polarity ( dipole moment ) become zero. we can change bond anngle either less than or greater than 120°, but not exactly 120

- Replacing one or more atom with different atoms having electro negativity values also make molecular poles.

- By placing molecules under external electric field or magnetic field also causes to the molecule.
