A student has a solution of sodium nitrate and believes it is saturated. Which statement provides the best evidence that the sol

ution is saturated? A. When more water is added, the appearance of the solution doesn’t change. B. When some of the water evaporates, all of the sodium nitrate remains dissolved. C. When a small amount of sodium nitrate is added, a large amount precipitates from the solution. D. When additional sodium nitrate is added, it all settles to the bottom of the container. E. When the temperature of the solution is increased, additional sodium nitrate can be dissolved.

Answer : The correct option is, D

Explanation :

Saturated solution : It is a chemical solution which contain the maximum amount of solute dissolved in the solvent. In saturated solution, the additional amount of solute will not dissolve in the solvent.

When a student has a solution of sodium nitrate then we can check their saturation point by adding additional amount of sodium nitrate. When we add more amount of sodium nitrate in the solution, then all of it will settle down to the bottom of the container.

Therefore, the best evidence for saturated solution is, When additional sodium nitrate is added, it all settles to the bottom of the container.

Which reactants would lead to a spontaneous reaction?
balandron [24]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The elements which have excess or deficiency of electrons will react readily.

Atomic number of Mn is 25 and electronic configuration of Mn^{2+} is [Ar]4s^{0}3d^{5}. This configuration is stable.

Atomic number of Cr is 24 and electronic configuration of Cr is [Ar]4s^{1}3d^{5}. This configuration is not stable.

Atomic number of Fe is 26 and electronic configuration of Fe is [Ar]4s^{2}3d^{6}. This configuration is stable.

Atomic number of Cu is 29 and electronic configuration of Cu^{2+} is [Ar]4s^{0}3d^{9}. This configuration is not stable.

Atomic number of Al is 13 and electronic configuration of Al is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{1}. This configuration is not stable.

Atomic number of Ba is 56 and electronic configuration of Ba^{2+} is [Kr]4d^{10}5s^{2}5p^{6}. This configuration is stable.

Atomic number of Mg is 12 and electronic configuration of Mg^{2+} is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}. This configuration is stable.

Atomic number of Sn is 50 and electronic configuration of Sn is [Kr]4d^{10}5s^{2}5p^{2}. This configuration is stable.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, only Fe and Cu^{2+} reactants would lead to a spontaneous reaction as they have incomplete sub-shells. Therefore, in order to gain stability they will readily react.

Which best describes the motion of pentane molecules in liquid phase?
Ganezh [65]
Hydrocarbons may vary from state to state depending on the length of the carbon chain. For methane to butane, they are usually in gas form. Starting from pentane, they are in the liquid form. For very long carbon chains, that occur as solids. Now, it depends if the pentane is in a nonpolar liquid or polar liquid. Since pentane is nonpolar, it is miscible in the liquid solvent. The movements would most likely be free flowing. But if he solvent is polar, the molecules would repel with one another. In the end, it will form two liquid phases, on for the pentane and one for the polar solvent.

Daniel is developing a model of the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle. How should th
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

*The model should show the carbon compounds enter as carbon dioxide

*The model should show the carbon compounds exit as 3-carbon molecules

Explanation:

In plants, carbon dioxide (CO2) enters the chloroplast through the stomata and diffuses into the stroma of the chloroplast—the site of the Calvin cycle reactions where sugar is synthesized. The reactions are named after the scientist who discovered them, and reference the fact that the reactions function as a cycle.

Picric acid has been used in the leather industry and in etching copper. However, its laboratory use has been restricted because
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

0.3023 M

Explanation:

Let Picric acid = H_{picric}

So,  H_{picric}     +       H_2}O          ⇄      H_3}O^+     +     Picric^-

The ICE table can be given as:

                          H_{picric}     +       H_2}O          ⇄      H_3}O^+     +     Picric^-

Initial:                0.52                                               0                  0

Change:             - x                                                 + x                 + x

Equilibrium:      0.52 - x                                        + x                 + x

Given that;

acid dissociation constant  (K_a) = 0.42

K_a = \frac{[H_3O^+][Picric^-]}{H_{picric}}

0.42 = \frac{[x][x]}{0.52-x}}

0.42 = \frac{[x]^2}{0.52-x}}

0.42(0.52-x) = x²

0.2184 - 0.42x = x²

x²  + 0.42x - 0.2184 = 0                   -------------------- (quadratic equation)

Using the quadratic formula;

\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}    ;     ( where +/-  represent ± )

= \frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt{(0.42)^2-4(1)(-0.2184)} }{2*1}

= \frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt {0.1764+0.8736} }{2}

= \frac{-0.42+\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}     OR   \frac{-0.42-\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}

= \frac{-0.42+1.0245}{2}       OR    \frac{-0.42-1.0245}{2}

= \frac{0.6045}{2}                 OR    -\frac{1.4445}{2}

= 0.30225          OR     - 0.72225

So, we go by the +ve integer that says:

x =  0.30225

x = [ H_3}O^+ ] = [   Picric^- ] =  0.3023  M

∴  the value of  [H3O+] for an 0.52 M solution of picric acid  = 0.3023 M     (to 4 decimal places).
