What causes a substance to be hydrophobic?

Answers

Answer 1
The hydrophobic effect is caused by nonpolar molecules clumping together. Large macromolecules can have hydrophobic sections, which will fold the molecule so they can be close to each other, away from water. Many amino acids in proteins are hydrophobic, helping the proteins obtain their complicated shapes. The hydrophobic effect extends to organisms, as many hydrophobic molecules on the surface of an organisms help them regulate the amount of water and nutrients in their systems.

During the chemical reaction given below 21.71 grams of each reagent were allowed to react. Determine how many grams of the excess reagent are left over after the reaction is complete. 2SO2()+O2()⟶2SO3()

Answers

Answer: 16.32 g of [tex]O_2[/tex] as excess reagent are left.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]    

[tex]\text{Moles of} SO_2=\frac{21.71g}{64g/mol}=0.34mol[/tex]

[tex]\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{21.71g}{32g/mol}=0.68mol[/tex]

[tex]2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)[/tex]  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of [tex]SO_2[/tex] require = 1 mole of [tex]O_2[/tex]

Thus 0.34 moles of [tex]SO_2[/tex] will require=[tex]\frac{1}{2}\times 0.34=0.17moles[/tex]  of [tex]O_2[/tex]

Thus [tex]SO_2[/tex] is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and [tex]O_2[/tex] is the excess reagent.

Moles of [tex]O_2[/tex] left = (0.68-0.17) mol = 0.51 mol

Mass of [tex]O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.51moles\times 32g/mol=16.32g[/tex]

Thus 16.32 g of [tex]O_2[/tex] as excess reagent are left.

A plastic bag containing 2.2 L of gas at
1.0 atm pressure is cooled from 30°C to
0 °C. What will be the volume of the gas?​

Answers

Answer: The volume of the gas is 1.98 L.

Explanation:

To calculate the final volume of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

[tex]\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]V_1\text{ and }T_1[/tex] are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

[tex]V_2\text{ and }T_2[/tex] are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

[tex]V_1=2.2L\\T_1=30^oC=(30+273)K=303K\\V_2=?\\T_2=0^0C=(0+273)K=273K[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]\frac{2.2}{303}=\frac{V_2}{273}\\\\V_2=1.98L[/tex]

Thus the volume of the gas is 1.98 L

What is a mole of something? Why do scientists use the concept of a mole?

Answers

Answer: A mole is a chemical unit to measure mass of substance.

Explanation:

A mole can be defined as 6.02214076 × 1023 of atoms, ions, molecules and others. A mole is the total amount of discrete entity within a substance present in the form of atoms, ions, and molecules. As atoms, ions, molecules are small entities within any substance so it is necessary to measure each of them and recognize them so the scientists development the concept of mole. It is the convenient unit of measurement because of the presence of greater number of molecules, atoms, and ions present in any substance.

Answer:

The mole is an SI unit used to measure the amount of any substance. One mole is exactly 6.02214076×10 23 particles.

Explanation:

The concept of the mole is important for scientists because it means that one mole of any element has exactly the same number of atoms as one mole of any other element. This information allows chemists to count atomic particles for even very complex chemistry formulas and reactions.

What happens to pressure if temperature increases? Pressure increases. Pressure stays the same. Pressure decreases. Temperature has no effect on pressure.

Answers

Answer:

Pressure increases

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac's law, the pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to the temperature at a given volume i.e.

[tex]P\propto T[/tex]

It means the relationship between the pressure and the temperature is direct.

If the temperature increases, the pressure of the gas also increases. Hence, the correct option is (A).

Sulfuric acid reacts with aluminum hydroxide by double replacement producing aluminum sulfate and water Write chemical reaction. If 30 g of sulfuric acid reacts with 25 g of aluminum hydroxide, identify the limiting reactant?

Answers

Answer: [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex] is the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.  

The balanced chemical equation is:

[tex]3H_2SO_4(aq)+2Al(OH)_3(aq)\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq)+6H_2O(l)[/tex]

To calculate the moles :

[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]    

[tex]\text{Moles of} H_2SO_4 =\frac{30g}{98g/mol}=0.31moles[/tex]

[tex]\text{Moles of} Al(OH)_3=\frac{25g}{78g/mol}=0.32moles[/tex]  

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex] require = 2 moles of [tex]Al(OH)_3[/tex]

Thus 0.31 moles of [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex] will require=[tex]\frac{2}{3}\times 0.31=0.21moles[/tex]  of [tex]Al(OH)_3[/tex]

Thus [tex]H_2SO_4[/tex] is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and [tex]Al(OH)_3[/tex] is the excess reagent.

A water solution containing an unknown quantity of a

nonelectrolyte solute is found to have a freezing point of

–0.23°C. What is the molal concentration of the solution?​

Answers

Answer:

The molal concentration of the solution is approximately 0.124 molal

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The reduced freezing point of the water = -0.23°C

For freezing point depression of a solution, we have;

[tex]\Delta T_f[/tex] = [tex]K_f[/tex]· b·i

Where;

[tex]\Delta T_f[/tex] = The freezing point depression

[tex]K_f[/tex] = Cyroscopic constant (The freezing-point depression constant) = 1.86° Cm⁻¹ for water

b = The molality of the solution

i = van't Hoff factor = 1

Therefore;

[tex]\Delta T_f[/tex] = [tex]T^{\circ}_f - T_f[/tex]

Where;

[tex]T^{\circ}_f[/tex] = The freezing point of pure water = 0°C

[tex]T_f[/tex] = The freezing point of the solution = -0.23°C

∴ [tex]\Delta T_f[/tex] = [tex]T^{\circ}_f - T_f[/tex] = 0°C - (-0.23°C) = 0.23 °C

From, [tex]\Delta T_f[/tex] = [tex]K_f[/tex]· b·i, we have;

0.23°C = 1.86°C/m × b × 1

∴ b  = (0.23°C/1.86°C/m) ≈ 0.124 molal

Therefore, the molal concentration of the solution, b ≈ 0.124 molal.

Enrichment of nuclear fuel 2 points A. increases the relative concentration of uranium-235 to 3-20% to produce energy in a power plant.

C. increases the relative concentration of uranium-235 from 60% to 90% to achieve maximum electricity generation D. decreases the relative concentration of uranium-235 from 100% to 30-50% to avoid a nuclear explosion at higher percentages.

Answers

Answer:

B. increases the relative concentration of uranium-235 to 30-50% to avoid a nuclear explosion at higher percentages.

Explanation:

Uranium enrichment may be defined as a process which is necessary for creating effective nuclear fuel from the mined uranium by mainly increasing the percentage of the uranium-235 that undergoes fission with a thermal neutrons.

The enrichment process removes the unwanted uranium-238, thus making uranium 235 concentration higher. It takes up much work to increase the relative concentration of the uranium 235 to make it 30% to 50% so as to avoid a nuclear explosion at such higher percentages.

Can someone double check my work? (Ideal Gas Law Equation)
I am solving for the amount of moles in two gases.

n=(1.2*4.75)/(0.0821/273.65)=(5.7/22.456)=0.25361653 moles
For the other gas, it was 4.6mL at 0.5C and 1.2atm.
n=(1.2*4.6)/(0.0821/273.65)=(5.52/22.456)=0.24581403 moles
