A pure white crystalline compound was found to melt at 112.5-113.0oC when taken on a melting point apparatus, and on further hea

ting, the liquid was found to turn brown at ca. 145-150 oC. The capillary containing the melted compound was set aside to cool, and resolidify. When the sample was retried, using the same capillary the sample melted at 133.6-154.5oC. Why is the melting point higher than 112°, and the range so wide?

According to the question, the determined melting point of the compound is 112.5-113.0oC. When the solidified compound was retried, the melting point was found to be 133.6-154.5oC. This greater range higher than  112°C is caused by reusing samples leads to errors.

A pure sample is known by its sharp melting point. A pure sample does not melt over a large range. We can see this in the predetermined melting points of the pure sample(112.5-113.0oC).

However, reusing a sample introduces errors because the pure sample may become contaminated leading to a larger and higher range of melting point (133.6-154.5oC) which is far above  112°C.

If a 0.320 mM solution of MnO41- has an absorbance of 0.480 at 525 nm in a 1.000 cm cell. What is the concentration of a MnO41-
larisa [96]

Answer:

Hence the concentration of a MnO41- solution that has absorbance of 0.490 in the same cell at that wavelength is 0.3266.

Explanation:

Now A = el, el=const

Then,

A2 / A1 = C2/ C1\\\\0.49/ 0.48 = C2 / 0.32\\\\C2 = 0.3266

Lelechka [254]

.ANSWER:Copper is a ductile metal

EXPLAIN :This means that it can easily be shaped into pipes and drawn into wires. Copper pipes are lightweight because they can have thin walls. They don't corrode and they can be bent to fit around corners.

A fixed amount of oxygen gas is held in a .500 L tank at a pressure of 4.39 atm. The tank is connected to an empty 1.50 L tank b
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

1.0975 atm.

Explanation:

<em>According to Boyle’s Law:</em> " At constant temperature , the  volume of a given quantity of a gas  varies inversely with its pressure".

P α 1/V.

<em>∴ P₁V₁ = P₂V₂.</em>

P₁ = 4.39 atm, V₁ = 0.5 L.

P₂ = ??? atm, V₂ = 2.0 L.

<em>∴ P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂</em> = (4.39 atm)(0.5 L) / (2.0 L) = <em>1.0975 atm.</em>

Do the alkali metals tend to gain or lose electrons in chemical reactions?
timofeeve [1]
Noble Gases more often than not don't respond on the grounds that they don't tend to pick up or lose electrons. Salt and Alkaline Earth Metals are delicate and soften at low temperatures. Incandescent lamp are extremely receptive nonmetals since they effortlessly acknowledge electrons from different components.
