Answer:

110.8 ºC

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will make use of the Clausius-Clayperon equation:

lnP = - ΔHºvap/RT + C

where P is the pressure, ΔHºvap is the enthalpy of vaporization, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, and C is a constant of integration.

Now this equation has a form y = mx + b where

y = lnP

x = 1/T

m = -ΔHºvap/R

Now we have to assume that ΔHºvap remains constant which is a good asumption given the narrow range of temperatures in the data ( 104-125) ºC

Thus what we have to do is find the equation of the best fit for this data using a  software as excel or your calculator.

T ( K)               1/T                  ln P

377               0.002653       5.9915

384              0.002604       6.2115

390              0.002564       6.3969

395              0.002532       6.5511

398              0.002513        6.6333

The best line has a fit:

y = -4609.5 x  + 18.218

with R² = 0.9998

Now that we have the equation of the line, we simply will substitute for a pressure of 496 mm in Leadville.

ln(496) = -4609.5(1/Tb) + 18.218

6.2066 = -4609.5(1/Tb) +18.218

⇒ 1/Tb = (18.218 - 6.2066)/4609.5 = 0.00261

Tb = 383.76 K  = (383.76 -273)K = 110.8 ºC

Notice we have touse up to 4 decimal places since rounding could lead to an erroneous answer ( i.e boiling temperature greater than 111, an impossibility given the data in the question). This is as a result of the value 496 mmHg so close to 500 mm Hg.

Perhaps that is the reason the question was flagged.

A student in a chemistry laboratory has access to two acid solutions. The first one is 20% acid and the second solution is 45% a
Ksju [112]

Volume of each solution : 60 ml 20% and 40 ml 45%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

20% and 45% acid

100 ml of 30% acid

Required

Volume of each solution

Solution

Molarity from 2 solutions :

Vm Mm = V₁. M₁ + V₂. M₂  

m = mixed solution

V = volume

M = molarity

V₁ = x ml

V₂ = (100 - x) ml

Input the value :

100 . 0.3 = x . 0.2 + (100-x) . 0.45

30 = 0.2x+45-0.45x

0.25x=15

x= 60 ml

V₁ = 60 ml

V₂ = 100 - 60 = 40 ml

Scientists determine that the wooden beams of a sunken ship have 67 % of the concentration of Carbon-14 that is found in the lea
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The age of ship is 1900 years.

Explanation:

The half life period of carbon - 14 is 5730 years

Ship have 67 % of the concentration of Carbon-14

And the ship lost (100- 67 = 33%) 33% of carbon - 14.

Therefore,

The age of ship = lost percentage X half life period of carbon -14

= 33 \times 5730 yrs = 1890.9yrs\equiv 1900\,years

Therefore, The age of ship is 1900 years.

weeeeeb [17]
On temperature 25°C (298,15K) and pressure of 1 atm each gas has same amount of substance:
n(gas) = p·V ÷ R·T = 1 atm · 20L ÷ <span>0,082 L</span>·<span>atm/K</span>·<span>mol </span>· 298,15 K
n(gas) = 0,82 mol.
1) m(He) = 0,82 mol · 4 g/mol = 3,28 g.
d(He) = 10 g + 3,28 g ÷ 20 L = 0,664 g/L.
2) m(Ne) = 0,82 mol · 20,17 g/mol = 16,53 g.
d(Ne) = 26,53 g ÷ 20 L = 1,27 g/L.
3) m(CO) = 0,82 mol ·28 g/mol = 22,96 g.
d(CO) = 32,96 g ÷ 20L = 1,648 g/L.
4) m(NO) = 0,82 mol ·30 g/mol = 24,6 g.
d(NO) = 34,6 g ÷ 20 L = 1,73 g/L.

The common constituent in all acid solutions is
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

H+/H3O , H2O

Explanation:

The ability to be a proton donor is the Bronsted-Lowry definition of acids. The Lewis definition of an acid is an electron pair acceptor, which covers molecules liKE BF3

The ability to accept a pair of electrons is what is common to all acids, not the ability to be a proton donor.

All acid solutions contain hydronium ions (H3O+), hydroxide ions (OH-) and water molecules. Each different acid solution will then have an anion that is exclusive to that acid. For example, hydrochloric acid solution will contain all of the above and chloride ions (Cl-).

All acids contain the acidic substance dissolved in water. Water naturally dissociates to a small amount, creating hydronium and hydroxide ions. But most of the water remains as water molecules.

Then when we add an acid, like HCl, the oxygen on the water attracts the hydrogen from the HCl. The electrons in the covalent bond remain with the chlorine, giving it a negative charge and thus it becomes the chloride ion (Cl-). The hydrogen now has a positive charge and as said before, is attracted to the water (specifically the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen) to create hydronium ions.

This creates extra hydronium ions, making the solution acidic. But remember, there are still water molecules, hydroxide ions and the negative ion all in solution for all acids.
