A student has samples of two pure compounds, XClO3 and ZClO3, which contain unknown alkali metals X and Z. The student measures

the mass of each sample and then strongly heats the samples to drive off all the oxygen, leaving solid residues of XCl and ZCl. The student measures the mass of the solid residue from each sample. Which of the following questions can be answered from the results of the experiment?
A. Which has the greater molar mass, X or Z?

B. Which has the higher boiling point, X or Z?

C. Which has the higher melting point, XCl or ZCl?

D. Which has the greater density, XCl or ZCl?

Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>A. Which has the greater molar mass, X or Z?</em></u>

Explanation:

By strongly heating up the starting substances to drive off all the oxygen, the student performs the following chemical decomposition reactions:

  • 2XClO₃ (s)  → 2XCl + 3O₂ (g)
  • 2ZClO₃ (s) → 2ZCl + 3O₂ (g)

The student knows the mass of each sample and the mass of the solid residue from each sample. That permits her to determine the mass of oxygen gas released from each sample:

  • mass of oxygen = mass of sample - mass of solid residue

With the mass of oxygen released, she can calculate the number of moles of oxygen in the original sample:

  • number of moles of oxygen = mass in grams of oxygen / molar mass of oxygen

Then she can calculate the number of moles of each sample:

  • There are 3 moles of O in every mole of  XClO₃ and in every ZClO₃.

So, the number of moles of each sample is the number of moles of oxygen released by each one divided by 3.

Now, the formula molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles will permit to determine the molar mass of each sample.

Hence, the student can answer the question A. Which has the greater molar mass, X or Z?

When 2.36g of a nonvolatile solute is dissolved in 100g of solvent, the largest change in freezing point will be achieved when t
nignag [31]

Answer:

Option c → Tert-butanol

Explanation:

To solve this, you have to apply the concept of colligative property. In this case, freezing point depression.

The formula is:

ΔT = Kf . m . i

When we add particles of a certain solute, temperature of freezing of a solution will be lower thant the pure solvent.

i = Van't Hoff factor (ions particles that are dissolved in the solution)

At this case, the solute is nonvolatile, so i values 1.

ΔT = Difference between  fussion T° of pure solvent - fussion T° of solution.

T° fussion paradichlorobenzene = 56 °C

T° fussion water = 0°

T° fussion tert-butanol = 25°

Water has the lowest fussion temperature and the paradichlorobenzene has the highest Kf. But the the terbutanol, has the highest Kf so this solvent will have the largest change in freezing point, when all the molalities are the same.

Compare the composition of sucrose purified from the sugar cane with the composition of sucrose purified from sugar beets.
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: they are the same.


Explanation:


1) Sucrose is a compound with chemical formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁


2) That means that all molcules of sucrose will have the same kind of atoms in the same proportion, whic is to say same composition:


12 atoms of C: 22 atoms of H: 11 atoms of O, per each molecule of sucrose.


3) For this question you can rely in the definition of compound: a pure substance formed by the combination of two or more elements always in the same ratio (same composition).


4) That also implies, that all the molecules of sucrose have the same properties.

A mixture of N2, O2, and Ar has mole fractions of 0.25, 0.65, and 0.10, respectively. What is the pressure of N2 if the total pr
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas is 0.98 bar.

Explanation:

According to the Dalton's law, the total pressure of the gas is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the mixture of gases.

P=p_{N_2}+p_{O_2}+p_{Ar}

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{N_2}

p_{O_2}=P\times \chi_{O_2}

p_{Ar}=P\times \chi_{Ar}

where,

P = total pressure = 3.9 bar

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen gas  

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen gas  

p_{Ar} = partial pressure of argon gases  

\chi_{N_2} = Mole fraction of nitrogen gas  = 0.25

\chi_{O_2} = Mole fraction of oxygen gas  = 0.65

\chi_{Ar} = Mole fraction of argon gases = 0.10

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas :

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{N_2}=3.9 bar\times 0.25 =0.98 bar

Partial pressure of oxygen gas :

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{O_2}=3.9 bar\times 0.65=2.54 bar

Partial pressure of argon gas :

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{Ar}=3.9 bar\times 0.10=0.39 bar

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

N₂       + 3H₂     =     2 NH₃

1 vol                         2 vol

786 liters               1572 liters

786 liters of dinitrogen will result in the production of 1572 liters of ammonia

volume of ammonia V₁ = 1572 liters

temperature T₁ = 222 + 273 = 495 K

pressure = .35 atm

We shall find this volume at NTP

volume V₂ = ?

pressure = 1 atm

temperature T₂ = 273

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

\frac{.35\times 1572}{495} =\frac{1\times V_2}{ 273 }

V_2 =303.44 liter .

mol weight of ammonia = 17

At NTP mass of 22.4 liter of ammonia will have mass of 17 gm

mass of 303.44 liter of ammonia will be equal to (303.44 x 17) / 22.4 gm

= 230.28 gm

=.23 kg / sec .

Rate of production of ammonia = .23 kg /s .
