The complete question is given below:

Two students are given different samples of a substance and are instructed to determine the properties of the substance.

Which statement describes a property that will be the same for both students?

A. color because it is an extensive property

B. mass because it is an extensive property

C. boiling point because it is an intensive property

D. volume because it is an intensive property .

ANSWER

The correct option is C.

The physical properties of substances are divided into two, intensive and extensive properties.

Intensive properties refers to those features of a substance that do not depend on the quantity of the material that is available. Whether the sample available is big or small, the intensive properties remain the same. Examples of intensive properties are: melting point, boiling point, refractive index, hardness, density color, etc. This question is asking us to look for an intensive property.

Extensive properties refers to those characteristics of a substance that depend on the amount of substance present. Examples of these properties are: mass, volume, size, weight, length, etc.

From the options given, option A is wrong because color is not an extensive property, it is intensive. Option B is wrong because the mass depend on the amount of sample given and the same thing apply to option D.

The correct option is C, because no matter the quantity of that substance that you have, the boiling point will always remains the same.

During an endothermic phase change, what happens to potential energy and the kinetic energy

polet [3.4K]

During this phase Change heat energy is being absorbed by the molecules, and as a result the molecules possess a greater ability to move around and possess higher kinetic energy because of this. The molecules also possess a higher potential energy.

Carbon dioxide readily absorbs radiation with an energy of 4.67 x 10-20 J. What is the wavelength and frequency of this radiatio

Tanya [424]

Answer:

ν = 7.04 × 10¹³ s⁻¹

λ = 426 nm

It falls in the visible range

Explanation:

The relation between the energy of the radiation and its frequency is given by Planck-Einstein equation:

E = h × ν

where,

E is the energy

h is the Planck constant (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s)

ν is the frequency

Then, we can find frequency,

$\nu = \frac{E}{h}= \frac{4.67 \times 10^{-20}J }{6.63 \times 10^{-34}J.s} = 7.04 \times 10^{13} s^{-1}$

Frequency and wavelength are related through the following equation:

c = λ × ν

where,

c is the speed of light (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)

λ is the wavelength

$\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu } =\frac{3.00 \times 10^{8} m/s }{7.04 \times 10^{13} s^{-1} } =4.26 \times 10^{-6}m.\frac{10^{9}nm }{1m} = 426 nm$

A 426 nm wavelength falls in the visible range (≈380-740 nm)

Acetone has a boiling point of 56.5 celcius. How many grams of the acetone vapor would occupy the 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask at 57

vodomira [7]

Answer:

0.515 g

Explanation:

<em>Acetone (C₃H₆O) has a boiling point of 56.5 °C. How many grams of the acetone vapor would occupy the 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask at 57 °C and 730 mmHg?</em>

<em />

Step 1: Given data

Temperature (T): 57°C

Pressure (P): 730 mmHg

Volume (V): 250 mL

Step 2: Convert "T" to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15 = 57°C + 273.15 = 330 K

Step 3: Convert "P" to atm

We will use the conversion factor 1 atm = 760 mmHg.

730 mmHg × (1 atm/760 mmHg) = 0.961 atm

Step 4: Convert "V" to L

We will use the conversion factor 1 L = 1,000 mL.

250 mL × (1 L/1,000 mL) = 0.250 L

Step 5: Calculate the moles (n) of acetone

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V/R × T

n = 0.961 atm × 0.250 L/(0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 330 K

n = 8.87 × 10⁻³ mol

Step 6: Calculate the mass corresponding to 8.87 × 10⁻³ moles of acetone

The molar mass of acetone is 58.08 g/mol.

8.87 × 10⁻³ mol × 58.08 g/mol = 0.515 g

Estimate ΔG°rxn for the following reaction at 387 K. HCN (g) + 2 H2 (g) → CH3NH2 (g) ΔH° = −158.0 kJ; ΔS° = −219.9

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

ΔG°rxn = -72.9 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

HCN(g) + 2 H₂(g) → CH₃NH₂(g)

We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction (ΔG°rxn) using the following expression:

ΔG°rxn = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

where,

ΔH° is the standard enthalpy of the reaction

T is the absolute temperature

ΔS° is the standard entropy of the reaction

ΔG°rxn = -158.0 KJ - 387 K × (-219.9 × 10⁻³ J/K)

ΔG°rxn = -72.9 kJ

Complete the following sentence: The cathode in a voltaic cell is the electrode _____________.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

to which cations from the salt bridge migrate

Explanation:

A voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. It's composed of a cathode, an anode, and a salt bridge.

In cathode, the substance is gaining electrons, so it's reducing, in the anode, the substance is losing electrons, so it's oxidating. The flow of electrons is from the anode to the cathode.

The salt bridge is a bond between the cathode and the anode. When the redox reaction takes place, the substances produce its ions, so the solution is no more neutral. The salt bridge allows the solutions to become neutral and the redox reaction continues.

So, the cathode produces anions, which goes to the anode, and the anode produces cations, which goes to the cathode. Then, the cathode n a voltaic cell is the electrode to which cations from salt bridge migrate and where the reduction takes place.
