The methylene chloride solution is filtered through sodium sulfate to:

Vlad [161]

Answer:

C. Dry the methylene chloride by removing water

Explanation:

Anhydrous sodium sulfate is known for its high capacity to absorb water, for this reason it is widely used in laboratories as a drying agent.

Sodium sulfate is a neutral molecule so it cannot be used to neutralize and is very stable, so it is difficult to precipitate organic molecules.

A. Based on the activation energies and frequency factors, rank the following reactions from fastest to slowest reaction rate, a

deff fn [24]

Answer:

A) $E_{a} = 350KJ/mol$ , $E_{a} = 50KJ/mol$ , $E_{a} = 50KJ/mol$

A = 1.5× $10^{-7}s^{-1}$ , A = 1.9× $10^{-7} s^{-1}$ , A=1.5× $10^{-7} s^{-1}$

B) 4.469

Explanation:

From Arrhenius equation

$K=Ae^{\frac{E_{a} }{RT} }$

where; K = Rate of constant

A = Pre exponetial factor

$E_{a}$ = Activation Energy

R = Universal constant

T = Temperature in Kelvin

Given parameters:

$E_{a} =165KJ/mol$

$T_{1}=505K$

$T_{2}=525K$

$R=8.314JK^{-1}mol^{-1}$

taking logarithm on both sides of the equation we have;

$InK=InA-\frac{E_{a} }{RT}$

since we have the rate of two different temperature the equation can be derived as:

$In(\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } )=\frac{E_{a} }{R}(\frac{1}{T_{1} } -\frac{1}{T_{2} } )$

$In(\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } )=\frac{165000J/mol}{8.314JK^{-1}mol^{-1} }.(\frac{1}{505} -\frac{1}{525} )$

$In(\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} } )$ = 19846.04×7.544× $10^{-5}$ = 1.497

$\frac{K_{2} }{K_{1} }$ = $e^{1.497}$ = 4.469

Chemists investigated an unknown substance and found it to have the following characteristics:

bija089 [108]

The answer is option C.

That is it is a heterogeneous mixture.

Heterogeneous mixture have the following properties:

1. Different components could be observed in the substance.

2. Different samples of the substance appeared to have different proportions of the components.

3.The components could be easily separated using filters and sorting.
