Answer:

0.0386

Explanation:

To make a solution, we need a certain amount of the solute to be dissolved in the solvent. The solvent is the carrier medium usually water in traditional wet chemistry.

Now, in this particular question, it should be known that methyl alcohol is the solute, while water is the solvent.

We need to calculate the mole fraction of the solute as asked by the question. Now what we do is to find the number of moles of each, add together, then divide the number of moles of methyl alcohol by the sum of the moles of both.

Firstly, we calculate the number of moles of methyl alcohol present. This is mathematically equal to dividing mass by molar mass

Molar mass of methyl alcohol (CH3OH) is 12 + 4(1) + 16 = 32g/mol

The number of moles is thus 1.2/32 = 0.0375 moles

Now, we calculate the number of moles of water. The molar mass of water is 18g/mol

The number of moles of water is thus 16.8/18 = 0.93333

The mole fraction of the solute is thus:

0.0375/(0.0375 + 0.9333) = 0.0386

Answer:

The mole fraction of the solute, methyl alcohol, is 0.0387

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of methyl alcohol = 1.20 grams

Molar mass of methyl alchol = 32.04 g/mol

Mass of water = 16.8 grams

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate number of moles of methyl alcohol

Number of moles methyl alcohol = Mass / molar mass

Number of moles methyl alcohol = 1.20 grams / 32.04 grams

Number of moles methyl alcohol = 0.0375 moles

Step 3: Calculate number of moles of water

Moles H2O = 16.8 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H20 = 0.932 moles

Step 4: Calculate total number of moles

Total number of moles = moles CH3OH + moles H2O = 0.0375 moles + 0.932 moles = 0.9695 moles

Step 5: Calculate mole fraction of the solute

Solute = methyl alchol

(Solvent = water)

Mole fraction = 0.0375 moles / 0.9695 moles

Mole fraction = 0.0387

The mole fraction of the solute, methyl alcohol, is 0.0387

All of the following reactions can be described as displacement reactions except:____________.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction that is not a displacement reaction from all the options is $C_6H_6_{(l)} + Cl_{2(g)} --> C_6H_5Cl_{(l)} + HCl_{(g)}$

In a displacement reaction, a part of one of the reactants is replaced by another reactant. In single displacement reactions, one of the reactants completely displaces and replaces part of another reactant. In double displacement reaction, cations and anions in the reactants switch partners to form products.

<em>Options a, c, d, and e involves the displacement of a part of one of the reactants by another reactant while option b does not.</em>

Correct option = b.

At this point Ron is slightly confused, this isn’t surprising. However, Hermione is doing rather well with them. This also isn’t

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{0.780 atm}}$

Explanation:

Hermione is pretty smart. She realizes that, according to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, each gas exerts its pressure independently of the others, as if the others weren't even there.

She shows Ron how to use the Ideal Gas Law to solve the problem.

pV = nRT

She collects the data:

V = 1.00 L; n = 0.0319 mol; T = 25.0 °C

She reminds him to convert the temperature to kelvins

T = (25.0 +273.15) K = 298.15 K

Then she shows him how to do the calculation.

$p \times \text{1.00 L} = \text{0.0319 mol} \times \text{L}\cdot\text{atm}\cdot\text{0.082 06 K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1} \times \text{298.15 K}\\\\1.00p = \text{0.7805 atm}\\\\p = \textbf{0.780 atm}\\\\\text{The partial pressure of the nitrogen is } \boxed{\textbf{0.780 atm}}$

Isn't she smart?

Standard Thermodynamic Quantities for Selected Substances at 25 ∘C Reactant or product ΔHf∘(kJ/mol) Al(s) 0.0 MnO2(s) −520.0 Al2

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

-1815.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Starting with standard enthalpies of formation you can calculate the standard enthalpy for the reaction doing this simple calculation:

∑ n *ΔH formation (products) - ∑ n *ΔH formation (reagents)

This is possible because enthalpy is state function meaning it only deppends on the initial and final state of the system (That's why is also possible to "mix" reactions with Hess Law to determine the enthalpy of a new reaction). Also the enthalpy of formation is the heat required to form the compound from pure elements, then products are just atoms of reagents organized in a different form.

In this case:

ΔH rxn = [(2 * -1675.7) - (3 * -520.0)] kJ/mol = -1815.4 kJ/mol

The temperature of the carbon dioxide atmosphere near the surface of venus is 475°c. calculate the average kinetic energy per mo

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: <span>9330 j/mol
</span>
The temperature of the gas is 475 ° Celcius which is equal to: 475 +273= 748 °K. The formula for kinetic energy of individual atoms would be

K= 3/2 * kB * T
If kB is 1.38 * 10^-23 J/K and 1 mol is made from 6.02*10^23 molecule, then the kinetic energy of 1 mol CO2 would be:
K= 3/2 * kB * T
K= 3/2 * 1.38 * 10^-23 * 748 * 6.02 *10^23 =9324 J/mol

Which compound would be expected to show intense IR absorption at 2710 and 1705 cm-1? (Ph = phenyl group)

Serhud [2]

Answer:

B. PhCHO

Explanation:

Every organic group shows a characteristic IR absorption at certain wavelength . With the help of these absorption spectra we can identify the group present on organic molecules .

The wave number of 2710 cm⁻¹ is absorbed by aldehyde bond stretching .

The wave number of 1705 cm⁻¹ is shown by conjugated aldehyde . So the most likely compound among given compounds is PhCHO .
