Answer:

The open system evaporates the solvent in the solution

Explanation:

An open system is a system in which exchange of materials and energy can occur. If a TLC set up is left open, then the set up constitutes an open system.

During TLC, the sample is dotted on the plate and inserted into a suitable solvent. The solvent moves up the plate and achieves the required separation of the mixture.

Most of these solvents used used TLC are volatile organic compounds. Therefore, if the TLC set up is left open, the solvent will evaporate leading to poor results after running the TLC experiment.

If A is slowly added to a solution containing 0.0500 M of B and 0.0500 M of C, which solid will precipitate first? The solubilit
OleMash [197]

Answer:

AC₄ will precipitate out first.

Explanation:

A solid will precipitate out if the ionic product of the solution exceeds the solubility product.

Let us check the ionic product

a) A₂B₃

Ionic product = [A]²[B]³

[A] = say "s"

[B] = 0.05 , [B]³ = (0.05)³ = 0.000125

2.3 X 10⁻⁸ = [A]²(0.000125)

[A] = 0.0136

b) AC₄

Ionic product = [A] [C]⁴

[A] = "s"

[A][0.05]⁴ = 4.10 X 10⁻⁸

[A]=0.00656 M

So for ionic product to exceed solubility product, we need less concentration of A in case of AC₄.

How many grams of water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: 770 g water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH_4NO_3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution

Explanation:

Molality : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per kg of solvent

Formula used :

Molality=\frac{n\times 1000}{W_s}

where,

n= moles of solute

Moles of NH_4NO_3=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{27.8g}{80.0g/mol}=0.348moles  

W_s = weight of the solvent in g = ?

0.452=\frac{0.348\times 1000}{W_s}

W_s=770g

Thus 770 g water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH_4NO_3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution

What is the mass of a sample of NH3 containing 6.3 × 1024 molecules of NH3?
quester [9]

Answer:

178 grams

Explanation:

<em>It is known that 1.0 mole of a compound contains Avogadro's number of molecules (6.022 x 10²³).</em>

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1.0 mol contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.

??? mol contains → 6.3 x 10²⁴ molecules.

∴ The no. of moles of (6.3 x 10²⁴ molecules) of NH₃ = (1.0 mol)(6.3 x 10²⁴ molecules)/(6.022 x 10²³ molecules) = 10.46 mol.

<em>∴ The no. of grams of NH₃ present = no. of moles x molar mass</em> = (10.46 mol)(17.0 g/mol) = <em>177.8 g ≅ 178 g.</em>

What is the density (in g/L) of a gas with a molar mass of 146.06 g/mol at 1.03 atm and 297k
marshall27 [118]
Lets assume the gas is acting Ideally, then According to Ideal Gas Equation the density is given as,

                                            d  =  P M / R T         -------  (1)
Where;
P  = Pressure =  1.03 atm

M  = Molar Mass =  146.06 g/mol

R  = Gas Constant =  0.08206 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹

T  = Temperature =   297 K

Putting Values in eq. 1,

           d  =  (1.03 atm × 146.06 g/mol) ÷ (0.08206 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 297 K)

                                          density  =  6.17 g/L
