Explain how you determine the freezing point of a solution that does not have a well-defined transition in the cooling curve.

Chemistry

This question is asking for a method for the determination of the freezing point in a solution that does not have a noticeable transition in the cooling curve, which is basically based on a linear fit method.

The first step, would be to understand that when the transition is well-defined as the one on the attached file, we can just identify the temperature by just reading the value on the graph, at the time the slope has a pronounced change. For instance, on the attached, the transition occurs after about 43 seconds and the freezing point will be about 4 °C.

However, when we cannot identify a pronounced change in the slope, it will be necessary to use a linear fit method (such as minimum squares) to figure out the equation for each segmented line having a significantly different slope and then equal them so that we can numerically solve for the intercept.

As an example, imagine two of the segmented lines have the following equations after applying the linear fit method:

y=-3.5 x + 25\\\\y=-0.52 x + 2

First of all, we equal them to find the x-value, in this case the time at which the freezing point takes place:

-3.5 x + 25=-0.52 x + 2\\\\-3.5 x+0.52 x =2-25\\\\x=\frac{-23}{-2.98}=7.72

Next, we plug it in in any of the trendlines to obtain the freezing point as the y-value:

y=-3.5 (7.72) + 25\\\\y = 1.84

This means the freezing point takes place after 7.72 second of cooling and is about 1.84 °C. Now you can replicate it for any not well-defined cooling curve.

If 17.8 grams of KOH dissolve in enough water to make a 198-gram solution, what is the concentration in percent by mass?
sleet_krkn [62]
Solute of solution = 17.8 g

Solvn = 198 g

% = 17.8 / 198

w% = 0.089 x 100 = 8.9%  by mass

hope this helps!

Determine the chemical formula for the molecule shown.
OLEGan [10]

Answer: Formula is C4H8O. In every branch of line formula there are Carbon atom. Carbon makes 4 bonds so In branch left in which two CH3-groups are attached there are also an Hydrogen aton which is not shown.

Explanation: Molecule is organic, it is classified as aldehyde.

Hydrocarbons contains only Carbon and Hydrogen atoms, Organic molecules can contain also other atoms.

Reactions of aldehydes are reduction to alcoholes or oxidation to carboxylic acids. It can not for a polymer.

Why is it important to monitor pH levels in natural bodies of water?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Since pH can be affected by chemicals in the water, pH is an important indicator of water that is changing chemically

Explanation:

pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water. Water that has more free hydrogen ions is acidic, whereas water that has more free hydroxyl ions is basic
