You are presented with a white solid and told that due to careless labeling it is not clear if the substance is barium chloride,

lead chloride, or zinc chloride.when you transfer the solid to a beaker and add water,the solid dissolves to give a clear solution.next a na2so4(aq) solution is added and a white precipitate forms. what is the identity of the unknown white solid?

The given salts are Barium chloride, lead chloride and zinc chloride.

The balanced chemical reaction between barium chloride and sodium sulfate:

BaCl_{2}(aq)+Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq)-->2NaCl(aq)+BaSO_{4}(s)_{white precipitate}

The balanced chemical reaction between lead chloride and sodium sulfate:

PbCl_{2}(aq)+Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq)-->2NaCl(aq)+PbSO_{4}(s)_{white precipitate}

The balanced chemical reaction between zinc chloride and sodium sulfate:

ZnCl_{2}(aq)+Na_{2}SO_{4}(aq)-->2NaCl(aq)+ZnSO_{4}(aq)

Both Barium chloride and lead chloride produce a white precipitate of their respective sulfates upon reaction with sodium sulfate. But BaCl2 is readily soluble in water where as Lead chloride is insoluble in water.

Therefore, the compound is barium chloride.

3. A 31.2-g piece of silver (s = 0.237 J/(g · °C)), initially at 277.2°C, is added to 185.8 g of a liquid, initially at 24.4°C,
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Cp_{liquid}=2.54\frac{J}{g\°C}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since silver is initially hot as it cools down, the heat it loses is gained by the liquid, which can be thermodynamically represented by:

Q_{Ag}=-Q_{liquid}

That in terms of the heat capacities, masses and temperature changes turns out:

m_{Ag}Cp_{Ag}(T_2-T_{Ag})=-m_{liquid}Cp_{liquid}(T_2-T_{liquid})

Since no phase change is happening. Thus, solving for the heat capacity of the liquid we obtain:

Cp_{liquid}=\frac{m_{Ag}Cp_{Ag}(T_2-T_{Ag})}{-m_{liquid}(T_2-T_{liquid})} \\\\Cp_{liquid}=\frac{31.2g*0.237\frac{J}{g\°C}*(28.3-227.2)\°C}{185.8g*(28.3-24.4)\°C}\\ \\Cp_{liquid}=2.54\frac{J}{g\°C}

Best regards.

How many significant figures the measurement have 56.0g 0.0004m 1003ml 0.0350s
Setler [38]
In order to do this, we have to first know the significant figure rules.
<span>Rule #1: All non-zero digits are significant. (1234)
 Rule #2: Zeros in front of a number are not significant. (0.093)
 Rule #3: Zeros between non-zero digits are significant. (78309)
 Rule #4: Zeros at the end of a number are significant if there is a decimal point in the number. (0.05470)

So by going by the rules, 56.0g has three sig figs, because there is a decimal point.
0.0004m only has one sig fig, according to Rule #2.
1003ml has 4 sig figs, because the zeroes are wedged in the two sig fig numbers.
And lastly, 0.0350s has 3 sig figs because the number after a decimal point counts.

Identify the true statements about surface tension. Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid.

Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.

Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension.

Explanation:

Surface tension is the force that stretches the liquid surface. This force acts normal to the surface. It is the downward force that acts on the surface of the liquids which is due to the cohesive forces of the liquids.

The water molecules are bonded by a strong hydrogen bond force which is between hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom. At the surface the water molecules are attracted strongly by other water molecules which lies below the surface and are stretched at the surface. Thus the water molecules at the surface acts differently than in the bulk liquid.

Mercury have a strong cohesive force than the water and have a higher surface tension force than the water.

Surface water acquires minimum surface area, hence acquiring spherical shape of water.
