distilled water

Explanation:

Some students investigated osmosis in raw potato sticks. The students measured the mass of three potato sticks using an electronic balance. The students left each potato stick in one of the three different liquids for 5 hours:i. distilled water. ii. dilute sodium chloride solution. iii. concentrated sodium chloride solution. After 5 hours they measured the mass again and calculated the change in mass. 1. Predict which of the liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of a potato stick. 2. After the experiment, the students noticed that the potato stick with the lowest mass was soft and floppy. Explain why the potato stick had become soft and floppy. 3. The students followed the same experimental procedure with boiled potato sticks and found no overall change in mass in any of the solutions. Suggest why the mass of the boiled potato sticks remained the same.

Tin (II) fluoride, formerly found in many kinds of toothpaste, is formed in this reaction: Sn (s) + 2HF (g) ——> SnF2 (s) + H2

1.34 L of HF

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

Sn (s) + 2 HF (g) → SnF₂ (s) + H₂ (g)

First we calculate the number of moles of SnF₂:

number of moles = mass / molecular weight

number of moles of SnF₂ = 5 / 157 = 0.03 moles

From the chemical reaction we see that 1 mole of SnF₂ are produced from 2 moles of SnF₂. This will mean that 0.03 moles of SnF₂ are produced from 0.06 moles of HF.

Now at standard temperature and pressure (STP) we can use the following formula to calculate the volume of HF:

number of moles = volume / 22.4 (L/mole)

volume of HF = number of moles × 22.4

volume of HF = 0.06 × 22.4 = 1.34 L

Which of the following best summarizes the ideal gas law?
8090 [49]

Answer:

Option C. PV = nRT

Explanation:

The ideal gas gas equation gives the relationship between pressure, volume, number mole a gas and temperature of gas.

Mathematically, the ideal gas equation is given as:

PV = nRT

Where:

P is the pressure measured in atmosphere (atm).

V is the volume measured in litres(L) or cubic decimetre (dm³).

n is the number of mole of gas.

R is the gas constant (0.0821atm.L/Kmol)

T is temperature measured in Kelvin (K).
