Which of the following aqueous solutions will have the lowest vapor pressure at 25 degrees Celsius?a. 1.0 M CH4
b. 1.0 M NaCl
c. 1.0 M AlCl3
d. 1.0 M BaCl2

Answers

The choices experiences colligative properties. These set of properties depend on the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent. These properties include freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure and vapor pressure lowering. From the choices, the correct answer is A.

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 1.0 M AlCl_3

Explanation :

According to the relative lowering of vapor pressure, the vapor pressure of a component at a given temperature is equal to the mole fraction of that component of the solution multiplied by the vapor pressure of that component in the pure state.

1.0 M means that the 1.0 moles of solute present in 1 liter of solution.

Formula used :

(\Delta p)/(p^o)=i* X_B

where,

p^o = vapor pressure of the pure component (water)

p_s = vapor pressure of the solution  

X_B = mole fraction of solute

i = Van't Hoff factor

As we know that the vapor pressure depends on the mole fraction of solute and the Van't Hoff factor.

So, the greater the number of particles of solute dissolved the lower the resultant vapor pressure.

(a) The dissociation of 1.0 M CH_4 is not possible because it is a non-electrolyte solute. So, the Van't Hoff factor will be, 1.

(b) The dissociation of 1.0 M NaCl will be,

NaCl\rightarrow Na^++Cl^-

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = Na^++Cl^- = 1 + 1 = 2

(c) The dissociation of 1.0 M AlCl_3 will be,

AlCl_3\rightarrow Al^(3+)+3Cl^(-)

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = Al^(3+)+3Cl^(-) = 1 + 3 = 4

(c) The dissociation of 1.0 M BaCl_2 will be,

BaCl_2\rightarrow Ba^(2+)+2Cl^(-)

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = Ba^(2+)+2Cl^(-) = 1 + 2 = 3

From this we conclude that, 1.0 M AlCl_3 has the highest Van't Hoff factor which means that the solution will exhibit the lowest vapor pressure.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) 1.0 M AlCl_3

How many milliliters of 0.183 m hcl would be required to titrate 5.93 g koh?

Answers

  Molar mass:
KOH = 56.0 g/mol

Number of moles of KOH :

5.93  / 36.5 => 0.1624 moles

KOH + HCl = KCl + H₂O 

1 mole KOH --------------> 1 mole  HCl
0.1624 moles KOH ----> ?

moles HCl = 0.1624 x 1 / 1

= 0.1624 moles of HCl

V ( HCl ) = moles / molarity

V(HCl) = 0.1624 / 0.183

V (HCl) = 0.887 L x 1000 = 887 mL

hope this helps!

1. Jack consumes two slices of pizza and drinks two large glasses of soda. Half an hour later, he complains of a stomachache. What is the most likely reason for Jack's upset stomach?A. Soda and lactose from the cheese combined and slowed enzyme activity.
B. Soda mixed with the pizza sauce and sped up digestive enzyme activity.
C. Soda raised the pH in his stomach and sped up digestive enzyme activity.
D. Soda lowered the pH in his stomach and slowed digestive enzyme activity.

B. Presence of an enzyme
C. Lower substrate concentration
D. Neutral pH levels

4. A biologist adds a vitamin solution to an enzyme/substrate solution that requires co-factors. What will happen to the substrate?
A. The vitamins will bond to the enzymes and increase their reactivity with the substrates.
B. The vitamins will bond to the enzymes and decrease their reactivity with the substrates.
C. The substrate molecules will bond to the vitamin molecules and inhibit bonding of the enzyme.
D. The substrate molecules will bond to the vitamin molecules and stimulate bonding of the enzyme.

A. The enzyme breaks the substrate apart to prepare for the reaction.
B. The enzyme positions the substrate to increase access during a reaction.
C. The substrate uses enzyme energy to start the reaction.
D. The active site releases the substrate and replaces it with an inhibitor.

Answers

Answer 1) Option D) Soda lowered the pH in his stomach and slowed digestive enzyme activity.


Explanation : Consuming soda after eating pizza lowered the pH of the stomach which consequently, slowed the digestive enzyme activity in the stomach. The enzymes actively digest the food only in highly acidic environment.


Answer 2) Option A) An inhibitor


Explanation : An inhibitor is a substance usually added to a progressing chemical reaction to decrease the rate of reaction and finally stop the reaction.


Answer 3) Option B) Presence of an enzyme


Explanation : When an enzyme is added to a chemical reaction it is often seen that it lowers the energy of activation and catalyzes the reaction. So, enzyme acts as a catalyst and increases the reaction rate.


Answer 4) Option A) The vitamins will bond to the enzymes and increase their reactivity with the substrates.


Explanation : When the biologists adds a vitamin solution to an enzyme or a substrate solution the bonding will take place between vitamins and enzymes and as a result it will increase the reactivity of the substrates.


Answer 5) Option C) The enzymes in the peaches have denatured.


Explanation : When enzymes are stewed or rather boiled they become denatured and the bonds between them breaks, which makes the enzyme useless. Hence, proteins should be eaten raw without boiling at higher temperatures.


Answer 6) Option A) The enzyme breaks the substrate apart to prepare for the reaction.


Explanation : In a catalytic reaction the enzymes usually break the substrate and create more surface area for the reaction to occur.

Which of the following best describes solids?A. Solids are low in density and compressible.
B. Solids are high in density and compressible.
C. Solids are low in density and incompressible.
D. Solids are high in density and incompressible.

Answers

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Solids are the substances whose molecules are closely packed together due strong inter molecular forces between them. This causes the solid to have a fixed shape and volume.

Whereas density is mass divided by per unit volume.

Mathematically,         Density = (mass)/(volume)

Since, density is proportional to mass. So, more is the mass that is, more is the number of molecules held together by strong forces more will be its density.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement solids are high in density and incompressible, best describes solids.

In my opinion I would pick D. 

Multiple answers could be chosen, just due to the fact that a solid is nothing more than just an object that cannot change it's physical shape into an object; just as water would. a solid can have a low density; such as paper, plastics, or even just a piece of wood. 

But think of a block of ice. You can break it, and crush it. It cannot be formed into any other shape. If you did break it, it only would make more ice fragments. And it's next phase is a liquid; if it were to be melted.
