Answer:

The solubility of Zn(OH)₂ at 25ºC is 1.96x 10⁻⁶,

Explanation:

The solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a certain volume of liquid (usually water) at a given temperature.

First, we write the dissolution reaction of Zn(OH)₂ in water, which is:

Zn(OH)₂ (s)  ⇄ Zn²⁺ + 2 OH⁻

We know that the Kps, that is, the dissolution equilibrium constant for this compound at 25ºC is 3.0x 10⁻¹⁷.

Therefore, the Kps is:

Kps= [Zn²⁺][OH⁻]² (since Zn(OH)₂ is solid, it is not accounted for).

Given the reaction, we can see that for every single Zn²⁺ ion, two OH⁻ ions are produced. Therefore, if the concentration of Zn²⁺ dissolved is x M, the concentration of OH⁻ dissolved will be 2x M.

Substituting these values in Kps, we have:

[Zn²⁺][OH⁻]² = (x)(2x)² = 3.0x 10⁻¹⁷

                            4x³ = 3.0x 10⁻¹⁷

                             x= ∛ (3.0x 10⁻¹⁷ ÷ 4)

                            x= 1.96x 10⁻⁶

Therefore, the molar solubility of Zn(OH)₂ at 25ºC will be 1.96x 10⁻⁶.

Answer:

Near the boiling point of the solvent

Explanation:

The process of recrystallization is hinged on the fact that the amount of solute that can be dissolved by a solvent increases with temperature. The process involves creation of a solution by dissolving a solute in a solvent at or near its boiling point.  At the boiling point of the solvent, the solute has a greater solubility in the solvent; not much volume of  the hot solvent is required to dissolve the solute.

Before the solution is later cooled, you can now filter out insoluble impurities from the hot solvent. The quantity of the original solute drops appreciably because impurities have been removed. At this lower temperature, the solution becomes saturated and the solute can no longer be held in solution hence it forms pure crystals of solute, which can be recovered.

Recrystallization must be carried out using the proper solvent. The solute must be relatively insoluble in the solvent at room temperature but more soluble in the solvent at elevated temperature.

Answer:

W and Z

Explanation:

Atoms of the SAME element OR two atoms of DIFFERENT elements will form a MOLECULE.

E.g. 2 atoms of hydrogen + 1 atom of oxygen => 1 molecule of water. This 1 molecule of water can also be called a compound.

Also, 2 atoms of Oxygen can combine to form 1 molecule of Oxygen. This 1 molecule of Oxygen cannot be referred to as a compound.

Atoms of DIFFERENT elements form a COMPOUND.

Therefore, compounds are molecules, but molecules are not compounds.

Thus, the combination of atoms that will form a molecule, but not a compound is:

Answer:

Even though oxygen is transported via the blood, you may recall that oxygen is not very soluble in liquids. A small amount of oxygen does dissolve in the blood and is transported in the bloodstream, but it is only about 1.5% of the total amount. The majority of oxygen molecules are carried from the lungs to the body’s tissues by a specialized transport system, which relies on the erythrocyte—the red blood cell. Erythrocytes contain a metalloprotein, hemoglobin, which serves to bind oxygen molecules to the erythrocyte (Figure 1). Heme is the portion of hemoglobin that contains iron, and it is heme that binds oxygen. One hemoglobin molecule contains iron-containing Heme molecules, and because of this, each hemoglobin molecule is capable of carrying up to four molecules of oxygen. As oxygen diffuses across the respiratory membrane from the alveolus to the capillary, it also diffuses into the red blood cell and is bound by hemoglobin. The following reversible chemical reaction describes the production of the final product, oxyhemoglobin (Hb–O2), which is formed when oxygen binds to hemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin is a bright red-colored molecule that contributes to the bright red color of oxygenated blood.

As air undergoes conduction better in tile than in carpet, hence a carpeted floor feel warmer to bare feet than tile or wood even though all surfaces are the same temperature.

Conduction is defined as a process as a means of which heat is transferred from the hotter end of the body to it's cooler end.Heat flows spontaneously from a body which is hot to a body which is cold.

In the process of conduction,heat flow is within the body and through itself.In solids the conduction of heat is due to the vibrations and collisions of molecules while in liquids and gases it is due to the random motion of the molecules .

When conduction takes place, heat is usually transferred from one molecule to another as they are in direct contact with each other.There are 2 types of conduction:1) steady state conduction 2) transient conduction.According to the type of energy conduction is of three types:

1) heat conduction

2) electrical conduction

Answer:

The correct answer is: K'= 0.033.

Explanation:

The formation of HI from H₂ and I₂ is given by:

H₂ + I₂ → 2 HI      K= 29.9

The decomposition of HI is the reverse reaction of the formation of HI:

2 HI → H₂ + I₂     K'

Thus, K' is the equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction of formation of HI. It is calculated as the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant of the forward reaction (K):

K' = 1/K = 1/(29.9)= 0.033

Therefore, the equilibrium constant for the decomposition of HI is K'= 0.033

Hello.

In this case, since the total pressure in the container includes the pressures of both hydrogen and water:

[tex]P=P_{H_2}+P_{H_2O}[/tex]

For the reacting solution of HCl, based on the 6:3 mole ratio with hydrogen in the chemical reaction, we can next compute the yielded moles o hydrogen:

[tex]n_{H_2}=0.235L*1.50\frac{molHCl}{L}*\frac{3molH_2}{6molHCl} =0.176molH_2[/tex]

Then, by using the ideal gas equation we compute the pressure of hydrogen for the collected 3.60 L at 25.0 °C (298.15 K):

[tex]P_{H_2}=\frac{n_{H_2}RT}{V} =\frac{0.176mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*298.15K}{3.60L}=1.20atm[/tex]

Finally, since the vapor pressure of water in at is 0.03129, the total pressure is then:

Complete Question

Magnesium sulfate forms a hydrate with the formula [tex]MgSO_4. 7H_20[/tex]. What is the maximum amount of water (in grams) that can be removed from 15 ml of toluene by the addition of 200 mg of anhydrous magnesium sulfate? The molar mass of [tex]MgSO_4[/tex] is 120.4 g/mol; H20 = 18 g/mol.

Answer:

The value  is  [tex]z =  0.2093 \  g[/tex] of  [tex]H_2O[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The volume of toluene is  [tex]V = 15 mL[/tex]

    The mass of  anhydrous magnesium sulfate is  [tex]m =  200m g  = 200 *10^{-3} \  g[/tex]

   The formula of the hydrate is   [tex]MgSO_4. 7H_20[/tex]

    The molar mass of   [tex]MgSO_4[/tex]  is  [tex]z =120.4 \ g/mol[/tex]

From the formula given we see that

  1 mole of  [tex]Mg SO_4[/tex] wil remove  7 moles of [tex]H_2O[/tex] to for the given formula

Hence

  120.4 g (1 mole) will remove  7 moles (7 * 18 g = 126 g  ) of  [tex]H_2O[/tex] to for the given formula

Therefore 1 g of  [tex]Mg SO_4[/tex]  x g  of  [tex]H_2O[/tex]  

So

     [tex]x  =  \frac{x]126 *  1}{ 120.4 }[/tex]

=>     [tex]x  =  1.0465 \  g [/tex]

From our calculation we obtained that

  1 g of [tex]Mg SO_4[/tex] will remove  [tex]x  =  1.0465 \  g [/tex]  of  [tex]H_2O[/tex]  

Then  

   [tex]200 *10^{-3} \  g[/tex] of [tex]Mg SO_4[/tex] will remove z g of  [tex]x  =  1.0465 \  g [/tex]  of  [tex]H_2O[/tex]  

So

   [tex]z =  200 *10^{-3} *  1.0465[/tex]

=>[tex]z =  200 *10^{-3} *  1.0465[/tex]

=>[tex]z =  0.2093 \  g[/tex] of  [tex]H_2O[/tex]

[tex]0.326\frac{N}{cm^2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, considering that 1 atm equals 1.01 kPa, we can compute the pressure in kPa first as shown below:

[tex]2.25atm*\frac{1.01kPa}{1atm} =3.26kPa[/tex]

Now, we convert kPa to Pa, considering 1 kPa equals 1000 Pa:

[tex]3.26kPa*\frac{1000Pa}{1kPa}=3260Pa[/tex]

Now, since Pa is equal to N/m², and 1 m equals 100 cm, the pressure in newton per square centimeter turns out:

[tex]3260\frac{N}{m^2}*(\frac{1m}{100cm})^2 \\\\0.326\frac{N}{cm^2}[/tex]

Answer:

1.14 M

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

butane ⇄ isobutane

We can use the concentrations at equilibrium to calculate the equilibrium constant.

Kc = [isobutane] / [butane]

Kc = 2.5 / 1.0

Kc = 2.5

If we add 0.50 M of isobutane, we get [isobutane] = 2.5 + 0.50 = 3.0 M.

This will be an initial concentration in an ICE chart.

        butane ⇄ isobutane

I           1.0              3.0

C         +x                -x

E        1.0+x           3.0-x

The equilibrium constant is:

Kc = 2.5 = [isobutane] / [butane]

2.5 = (3.0-x) / (1.0+x)

2.5 + 2.5x = 3.0-x

x = 0.14

The equilibrium concentration of butane is:

[butane] = 1.0+x = 1.14 M
