Why does it help to keep the distillation head warm?

Chemistry

Distillation is the process of extracting all of the substances from a liquid solution by condensation or evaporation. The device used in this process of distillation is called distillation head. The liquid is heated and components with different boiling points are forced into the gas phase.The distillation head should be kept warm in order this process to last long time enough.

Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 82 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample
lesantik [10]

Answer: 17 years

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics  for radioactive substance is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{82years}=8.4\times 10^{-3}years^{-1}

b) for 8900 g of the mass of the sample to reach  7700 grams

t=\frac{2.303}{8.4\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{8900}{7700}

t=17years

Thus it will take 17 years

How many milligrams of MgI2 must be added to 257.7 mL of 0.087 M KI to produce a solution with [I−] = 0.1000 M?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The answer is 465.6 mg of MgI₂ to be added.

Explanation:

We find the mole of ion I⁻ in the final solution

C = n/V -> n = C x V = 0.2577 (L) x 0.1 (mol/L) = 0.02577 mol

But in the initial solution, there was 0.087 M KI, which can be converted into mole same as above calculation, equal to 0.02242 mol.

So we need to add an addition amount of 0.02577 - 0.02242 = 0.00335 mol of I⁻. But each molecule of MgI₂ yields two ions of I⁻, so we need to divide 0.00335 by 2 to find the mole of MgI₂, which then is 0.001675 mol.

Hence, the weight of MgI₂ must be added is

Weight of MgI₂ = 0.001675 mol x 278 g/mol = 0.4656 g = 465.6 mg

An amount of solid barium chloride, 20.8 g, is dissolved in 100 g water in a coffee-cup calorimeter by the reaction: BaCl2 (s) 
mamaluj [8]

Answer : The enthalpy change during the reaction is -6.48 kJ/mole

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat gained by the reaction.

q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

where,

q = heat gained = ?

m = mass of water = 100 g

c = specific heat = 4.04J/g^oC

T_{final} = final temperature = 26.6^oC

T_{initial} = initial temperature = 25.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=100g\times 4.04J/g^oC\times (26.6-25.0)^oC

q=646.4J

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change during the reaction.

\Delta H=-\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat gained = 23.4 kJ

n = number of moles barium chloride = \frac{\text{Mass of barium chloride}}{\text{Molar mass of barium chloride}}=\frac{20.8g}{208.23g/mol}=0.0998mole

\Delta H=-\frac{646.4J}{0.0998mole}=-6476.95J/mole=-6.48kJ/mole

Therefore, the enthalpy change during the reaction is -6.48 kJ/mole

You wish to make a buffer with pH 7.0. You combine 0.060 grams of acetic acid and 14.59 grams of sodium acetate and add water to
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The pH of the buffer is 7.0 and this pH is not useful to pH 7.0

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer is obtained by using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pH is the pH of the buffer</em>

<em>The pKa of acetic acid is 4.74.</em>

<em>[A⁻] could be taken as moles of sodium acetate (14.59g * (1mol / 82g) = 0.1779 moles</em>

<em>[HA] are the moles of acetic acid (0.060g * (1mol / 60g) = 0.001moles</em>

<em />

Replacing:

pH = 4.74 + log [0.1779mol] / [0.001mol]

<em>pH = 6.99 ≈ 7.0</em>

<em />

The pH of the buffer is 7.0

But the buffer is not useful to pH = 7.0 because a buffer works between pKa±1 (For acetic acid: 3.74 - 5.74). As pH 7.0 is out of this interval,

this pH is not useful to pH 7.0

<em />
