A geochemist in the field takes a 36.0 mL sample of water from a rock pool lined with crystals of a certain mineral compound X. He notes the temperature of the pool, 170 C, and caps the sample carefully. Back in the lab, the geochemist first dilutes the sample with distilled water to 500. mL. Then he filters it and evaporates all the water under vacuum. Crystals of X are left behind. The researcher washes, dries and weighs the crystals. They weigh 3.96 g.Using only the information above, can you calculate yes the solubility of X in water at 17.0 C? If you said yes, calculate it.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

solubility of X in water at 17.0 ^(0)\textrm{C} is 0.11 g/mL.

Explanation:

Yes, the solubility of X in water at 17.0 ^(0)\textrm{C} can be calculated using the information given.

Let's assume solubility of X in water at 17.0 ^(0)\textrm{C} is y g/mL

The geochemist ultimately got 3.96 g of crystals of X after evaporating the diluted solution made by diluting the 36.0 mL of stock solution.

So, solubility of X in 1 mL of water = y g

Hence, solubility of X in 36.0 mL of water = 36y g

So, 36y = 3.96

   or, y = (3.96)/(36) = 0.11

Hence solubility of X in water at 17.0 ^(0)\textrm{C} is 0.11 g/mL.

Suppose you perform a titration of an unknown weak acid solution. You start with 4.00 mL of the weak acid and find that it takes 14.2 mL of 0.0500 M NaOH to reach the equivalence point. What is the concentration of the unknown weak acid solution

Answers

Answer:

0.1775 M

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • HA + NaOH → NaA + H₂O

Where HA is the unknown weak acid.

At the equivalence point all HA moles are converted by NaOH. First we calculate how many NaOH moles reacted, using the given concentration and volume:

  • 0.0500 M NaOH * 14.2 mL = 0.71 mmol NaOH

That means that in 4.00 mL of the weak acid solution, there were 0.71 weak acid mmoles. With that in mind we can now calculate the concentration:

  • 0.71 mmol HA / 4.00 mL = 0.1775 M

What mass of nitrogen gas is required to react completely with 2.79 g of hydrogen gas to produce ammonia?

Answers

the balanced equation for the formation of ammonia is as follows
N₂ + 3H₂ ---> 2NH₃
stoichiometry of H₂ to N₂ is 3:1
number of H₂ moles reacted - 2.79 g / 2 g/mol  = 1.40 mol 
if 3 mol of H₂ reacts with 1 mol of N₂
then 1.40 mol of H₂ reacts with  - 1.40/3 = 0.467 mol of N₂
mass of N₂ required - 0.467 mol x 28 g/mol = 13.1 g
mass of N₂ formed is 13.1 g


Which is more water soluble hexanoic acid or sodium hexanoate?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Hexanoic acid [CH 3(CH 2) 4COOH] is barely soluble in water (about 1.0 g/100 g of water). Palmitic acid [CH 3(CH 2) 14COOH], with its large nonpolar hydrocarbon component, is essentially insoluble in water. The carboxylic acids generally are soluble in such organic solvents as ethanol, toluene, and diethyl ether.

Which of the following is in intensive property a. mass b. magnetism c shape D. volume

Answers

Intensive properties are physical properties that do not depend on the amount or size of the material being measured. In other words, they remain constant regardless of the quantity of the substance.

The correct answer is b. magnetism.

Out of the options provided:

a. mass is an extensive property because it depends on the amount of the substance. If you have more of a substance, you will have a greater mass.

b. magnetism is an intensive property because it remains the same regardless of the size or amount of the material with the magnetic property.

c. shape is not a standard property used to classify intensive or extensive properties. It is more of a description of the object's form.

d. volume is an extensive property because it depends on the size and amount of the substance. If you have more of a substance, you will have a larger volume.

Answer:

b. Magnetism (sorry im very late)

Explanation:

Intensive properties do not depend on size, no matter what it doesn't. For example, magnetism, density, melting and boiling points, and color. All of those support intensive property.
