This problem handles<em> boiling-point elevation</em>, which means we will use the formula:

ΔT = Kb * m

Where ΔT is the difference of Temperature between boiling points of the solution and the pure solvent (Tsolution - Tsolvent). Kb is the ebullioscopic constant of the solvent (2.64 for benzene), and m is the molality of the solution.

Knowing that benzene's boiling point is 80.1°C, we <u>solve for m</u>:

Tsolution - Tsolvent = Kb * m

80.23 - 80.1 = 2.64 * m

m = 0.049 m

We use the definition of molality to <u>calculate the moles of azulene</u>:

0.049 m = Xmoles azulene / 0.099 kgBenzene

Xmoles azulene = 4.87 x10⁻³ moles azulene

We use the mass and the moles of azulene to<u> calculate its molecular weight</u>:

0.640 g / 4.875 x10⁻³ mol = 130.28 g/mol

<em>A molecular formula that would fulfill that molecular weight</em> is C₁₀H₁₀. So that's the result of solving this problem.

The actual molecular formula of azulene is C₁₀H₈.

3. What noble gas would be part of the electron configuration notation for Mn?
shusha [124]

Answer:

Argon {Ar}

Explanation:

The noble gas used for a condensed electron configuration is the one before the element which you are configuring.

In this case, the element (Mn) is manganese

The noble gas that is before this element is Argon which is the row above it

so your configuration would be {Ar} 3d^5 4s^2

Why increasing the temperature of a gas would increase the volume of its container in gas law?
Zarrin [17]

When the amount of gas in a container is increased, the volume increases. Lussac's law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

Calculate the boiling temperature of a 0.50 M solution of sucrose. Assume that the concentration is 0.50 m.
Ronch [10]
There is one missing point in the question.

The formula to find an increase in boiling Temperature is :

ΔT = kb x M

ΔT = is the increase in boiling Temperature
Kb = Boiling point constant of the Solvent
M = Molarity

You did not provide the Kb. If you have it, you just have to insert it to the formula to find the ΔT.


And assuming that the other solution is water, you just have to add it up with 100 Celcius
