A solution of methanol and water has a mole fraction of water of 0.312 and a total vapor pressure of 211 torr at 39.9 ∘C. The vapor pressures of pure methan ol and pure water at this temperature are 256 torr and 55.3 torr, respectively. ls the solution ideal? If not, what can you say about the relative strengths of the solute-solvent interactions compared to the solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Weaker

Explanation:

The strategy here is to use Raoult´s law to calculate the theoretical vapor pressure for the concentrations given and compare it with the experimental value of 211 torr.

Raoult´s law tell us that for a binary solution

P total = partial pressure A + partial pressure B = Xa PºA + Xb PºB

where Xa and Xb are the mol fractions, and  PºA and PºB are the vapor pressures of pure A and pure B, respectively

For the solution in question we have

Ptotal = 0.312 x 55.3 torr + ( 1- 0.312 ) x 256 torr     ( XA + XB = 1 )

Ptotal = 193 torr

Since experimentally, the total vapor pressure is 211 and our theoretical value is smaller ( 193 torr ), we can conclude the interactions  solute-solvent are weaker compared to the solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions.

What is the pressure in atm exerted by 2.48 moles of a gas in a 250.0 ml container at 58c?

Answers

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     V = 250.0 ml,                  T = 58^{o}C = 58 + 273 = 331 K

      n = 2.48 moles,              P = ?    ,             R = 0.082 atm L /K mol

Therefore, calculate the pressure using ideal gas equation as follows.

                       PV = nRT

                        P = (nRT)/(V)

                            = (2.48 mol * 0.082 atm L/K mol * 331 K)/(250.0 ml)

                            = 0.269 atm

Thus, we can conclude that pressure of the given gas is 0.269 atm.

T = 58 + 273.15 = 331.15

R = 0.082 atm

V = 250.0 mL / 1000 = 0.25 L

P =  n x R x T / V

P = 2.48 x 0.082 x 331.15 / 0.25

P = 67.342 / 0.25

P = 269.368 atm

Answers

Option 3. strong intermolecular force

Certain substances such as H2O, HF, NH3 from hydrogen bonds, and the formation of which affects properties (mp,bp,solubility) of substance. Other compounds containing OH and NH2 groups also form hydrogen bond. Molecules of many organic compounds such as alcohols, acids, amines, and amino acids contain these groups, and thus hydrogen bonding plays an important role in biological science.

What are the 4 types of electron configuration?

The 4 special types of orbitals (s,p,d, and f) have distinctive shapes, and one orbital can hold a most of twoelectrons. The p, d, and f orbitals have different sublevels, accordingly can keep extraelectrons. As stated, the electronconfiguration of each detail is precise to its position on the periodic table.

In atomic physics and quantumchemistry, the electronconfiguration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule (or different bodily structure) in atomic or molecularorbitals.

Chlorine.

If you search Google images for "Aufbau principle periodic table," you'll find some handy diagrams that will make it much easier to determine an element based on its electron configuration. Determine the number of electrons in the last part of the configuration (in this case, 5), locate that group on the Aufbau periodic table diagram, then count that number from left to right within that group. In this case, within the "3p" portion of the Periodic table, count to 5 and you'll find Chlorine as the answer.

In which type of reaction do two lighter nuclei combine to form one heavier nucleus?(1) combustion (3) nuclear fission
(2) reduction (4) nuclear fusion

Answers

Answer:

Nuclear Fusion

Explanation:

In nuclear fusion two lighter nuclei combine together in order to form one heavier nucleus.

For example, the energy generated from the Sun is made by nuclear fusion: Two hydrogen (H, atomic number 1) nuclei combine in order to form one helium  (He, atomic number 2) nucleus.

Nuclear fission is the opposite reaction, in which one heavier nucleus splits into two lighter nuclei.
