The mercury level in a capillary tube placed in a dish of mercury is actually below the surface of the mercury in the dish. Please choose the answer that best explains the phenomenon.a. Mercury flows freely and is incapable of clinging to the walls of the capillary tube. b. Mercury has an incredibly high density for a liquid, making it too heavy to climb the capillary tube, c. The cohesive forces of mercury are much stronger than its adhesive forces. The adhesive forces may be repulsive, causing the mercury level in the tube to be lower than the mercury in the dish. d. Mercury is a polar molecule. It creates incredibly high cohesive forces, which prevent the mercury from climbing the capillary tube.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The cohesive forces of mercury are much stronger than its adhesive forces.

Explanation:

Cohesive forces are forces that exist between the particles that compose  a substance while adhesive forces refer to forces that exist between the particles of a substance and those of another substance.

The cohesive forces in mercury far outweigh the adhesive forces between the mercury drops and glass. Hence when mercury is put into a capillary  tube, its  meniscus is convex  because cohesive forces tend to draw the liquid mercury into a drop.

Hence, the surface tension in mercury makes the mercury in the capillary tube to fall below the height of the mercury in the dish.

What is the most highly populated rotational level of Cl2 (i) 25deg C and (ii) 100 deg C? Take B=0.244cm-1.This question should not be resubmitted, it is a textbook question from the Atkins physical chemistry txtbook. 10 e.

Answers

Answer:

i

[tex]J_{m} = 20 [/tex]

ii

[tex]J_{m} = 22.5 [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The first temperatures is [tex]T_1 =  25^oC =  25 +273 =298 \ K[/tex]

   The second temperature is  [tex]T_2 =  100^oC =  100 +273 = 373 \ K[/tex]

Generally the equation for  the most highly populated rotational energy level is mathematically represented as

     [tex]J_{m} = [ \frac{RT}{2B}]  ^{\frac{1}{2} } - \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Here R is the gas constant with value [tex]R =8.314 \ J\cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1}[/tex]

Also  

      B is given as [tex]B=\ 0.244 \ cm^{-1}[/tex]

   Generally the energy require per mole to move 1 cm is  12 J /mole

So   [tex]0.244 \ cm^{-1}[/tex]  will require x J/mole

           [tex]x =  0.244 *  12[/tex]

=>          [tex]x =  2.928 \ J/mol [/tex]

So at the first temperature

     [tex]J_{m} = [ \frac{8.314 * 298  }{2*  2.928 }]  ^{\frac{1}{2} } - 0.5 [/tex]

=>  [tex]J_{m} = 20 [/tex]

So at the second temperature

           [tex]J_{m} = [ \frac{8.314 * 373  }{2*  2.928 }]  ^{\frac{1}{2} } - 0.5 [/tex]

=>  [tex]J_{m} = 22.5 [/tex]

An increase in temperature results in A) a decrease in the required activation energy while the reaction rate remains constant. B) an increase in reaction rate due to a decrease in the kinetic energy of the reactants. C) an increase in the rate of reaction because reactant molecules collide with greater energy. D) an increase in both the reaction rate and activation energy due to increased kinetic energy.

Answers

Answer:

C) an increase in rate of reaction because reactant molecules collide with greater energy

Explanation:

Temperature is one of the factors that affect the rate of a reaction. The rate of a reaction increases with an increase in temperature and vice versa. When the temperature of a reaction increases, the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules increases causing them to react at a faster rate.

The reactant molecules respond to an increase in temperature by colliding at a faster rate due to an increased kinetic energy between the reactant molecules.

Why can we use a water-ethanol mixture but not a water-hexane mixture as a recrystallization solvent? because water and hexane are ___________________.

Answers

Answer:

immiscible liquids

Explanation:

When two liquids are to be used for the purpose of recrystallization the both liquids must be miscible with each other in all proportions.

This implies that, if two liquids are immiscible, it will be difficult for the mixture to be useful in recrystallization.

Water and hexane are immiscible because water is a polar solvent and hexane is a non polar solvent.

Water is miscible with ethanol because ethanol contains polar -OH groups that interact effectively with water leading to miscibility of ethanol with water in all proportions.

In the laboratory you dissolve 18.7 g of copper(II) bromide in a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 375mL.

Required:
a. What is the molarity of the solution?
b. What is the concentration of the copper(II) cation?
c. What is the concentration of the acetate anion?

Answers

Answer:

a) - 0.2 M

b) - 0.2 M

c)- 0

Explanation:

The chemical formula of copper (II) bromide is CuBr₂. Its molar mass (MM) is calculated as follows:

MM(CuBr₂)= MM(Cu) + (2 x MM(Br) = 63.5 g/mol + (2 x 80 g/mol)= 223.5 g/mol

a). Molarity = moles CuBr₂/1 L solution

moles CuBr₂ = mass/MM = 18.7 g x 1 mol/223.5 g = 0.084 mol

Volume in L = 375 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.375 L

M = 0.084 mol/(0.375 L) = 0.223 M ≅ 0.2 M

b). When is added to water, CuBr₂ dissociates into ions as follows:

CuBr₂ ⇒ Cu²⁺ + 2 Br⁻

We have 1 mol Cu²⁺ (copper (II) cation) per mol of CuBr₂. Thus, the concentration of copper (II) cation is:

0.2 mol CuBr₂ x 1 mol Cu²⁺/mol CuBr₂ = 0.2 M

c). The concentration of acetate anion is 0. There is no acetate anion in the solution (the anion from CuBr₂ is bromide Br⁻).

On the graph, which shows the potential energy curve of two N atoms, carefully sketch a curve that corresponds to the potential energy of two O atoms versus the distance between their nuclei.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We are to carefully sketch a curve that relates to the potential energy of two O atoms versus the distance between their nuclei.

From the diagram, O2 have higher potential energy than the N2 molecule. Because on the periodic table, the atomic size increases from left to right on across the period, thus O2 posses a larger atomic size than N2 atom.

Therefore, the bond length formation between the two O atoms will be larger compared to that of the two N atoms.

A piece of metal has a mass of 0.650 kilograms, has a width of 0.136 meters, and has a length of 0.0451 meters.Part A: If the metal’s volume is 291 cm3, what is the height of the metal in centimeters? (The width & length values given above are in a different unit!)

Part B: What is the density of this piece of metal?

Answers

Answer:

height = 4.74 cm

density = 2.23 g/ cm³

Explanation:

Mass of metal = 0.650 kg (650 g)

Width = 0.136 m    

Length = 0.0451 m  

Volume of metal = 291 cm³

Height in cm = ?

density of metal =?

Solution:

Width = 0.136 m    (0.136 m×100 cm/1m = 13.6 cm)

Length = 0.0451 m  (0.0451 m×100 cm/1m = 4.51 cm)

First of all we will calculate the height:

Volume = height× width× length

291 cm³ =      h     × 13.6 cm × 4.51 cm

291 cm³ =      h     × 61.34 cm²

h = 291 cm³ / 61.34 cm²

h = 4.74 cm

Density:

d = m/v

d = 650 g/291 cm³

d = 2.23 g/ cm³

a.
What is the wavelength of this radiation in meters (m)?
b.
What is the energy associated with this radiation in kcal?

Answers

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of electromagnetic spectrum is [tex]2.73\times 10^{16}\ Hz[/tex]

(A) Let the wavelength of this radiation is [tex]\lambda[/tex]. We know that,

[tex]c=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2.73\times 10^{16}}\\\\\lambda=1.09\times 10^{-8}\ m[/tex]

So, the wavelength of this radiation is [tex]1.09\times 10^{-8}\ m[/tex].

(B) Let E is the energy associated with this radiation. Energy of an electromagnetic radiation is given by :

[tex]E=hf[/tex]

h is Planck's constant

[tex]E=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 2.73\times 10^{16}\\\\E=1.8\times 10^{-17}\ J[/tex]

1 kcal = 4184 J

It means,

[tex]1.8\times 10^{-17}\ J=\dfrac{1}{4184}\times 1.8\times 10^{-17}\\\\=4.3\times 10^{-21}\ \text{kcal}[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq) + 3H2(g) + 2AlCl3(aq)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P=1.23atm[/tex]

Explanation:

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:

[tex]P=1.20atm+0.03129atm\\\\P=1.23atm[/tex]

A sample of N2O effuses from a container in 47s .

Required:
How long would it take the same amount of gaseous I2 to effuse from the same container under identical conditions?

Answers

Answer:

112.92 s.

Explanation:

Let M₁ be the molar mass of N₂O

Let t₁ be the time taken for N₂O to effuse.

Let M₂ be the molar mass of I₂

Let t₂ be the time taken for I₂ to effuse.

Molar mass (M₁) of N₂O = (14×2) + 16 = 28 + 16 = 44 g/mol

Time (t₁) of effusion of N₂O = 47 s

Molar mass (M₂) of I₂ = 127 × 2 = 254 g/mol

Time (t₂ ) of effusion of I₂ =?

The time take for the same amount of I₂ to effuse can be obtained as follow:

t₂/t₁ = √(M₂/M₁)

t₂/47 = √(254 / 44)

Cross multiply

t₂ = 47 × √(254 / 44)

t₂ = 112.92 s

Therefore, it will take 112.92 s for the same amount of I₂ to effuse.

The amount of UVA radiation hitting a surface at sea level in a lightly clouded day is about 70W/m2. About half of that can be absorbed by the skin. A typical carbon- carbon bond requires 348 kJ/mol to break. A person lies on the beach for about 1 hour without sunscreen (i.e. fully exposed to UVA radiation). Estimate the number of C-C bonds broken in this person’s back (about 0.18 m2) over that period. Assume that the average wavelength of UVA is 335 nm.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

energy of solar radiation = 70 W / m²

energy absorbed in 1 hour by an area of .18 m²

= 70 x .5 x .18 x 60 x 60 J

= 22.68 x 10³ J

bond energy of i mole bond = 348 x 10³ J

bond energy of 6.02 x 10²³ bonds = 348 x 10³  J

bond energy of one bond = 57.8 x 10⁻²⁰ J  

No of bonds broken by energy 22.68 x 10³

= 22.68 x 10³  / 57.8 x 10⁻²⁰
