What intermolecular force or bond is primarily responsible for the solubility of chlorine (Cl2) in water
The question is incomplete, the common question is;
What intermolecular attractive force is primarily responsible for the solubility of chlorine, Cl2, in water?
a. dipole - dipole
b. hydrogen bonding
c. dipole-induced dipole
d. ion-dipole
e. ion-induced dipole
Answer:
dipole-induced dipole
Explanation:
We have to remember that water is a polar molecule hence it possesses a dipole moment. Its dipole moment is responsible for the ability of water to dissolve many substances.
On the other hand, Cl2 is a nonpolar molecule bound together by only weak dispersion forces.
Recall that dispersion forces involve transient appearance of a dipole in a molecule.
Water molecules can induce a dipole in Cl2 thereby causing the both molecules to interact and Cl2 dissolves in water.
Under certain conditions, the substance mercury(II) oxide can be broken down to form mercury and oxygen. If 32.2 grams of mercury(II) oxide react to form 29.8 grams of mercury, how many grams of oxygen must simultaneously be formed
Explanation:
This is a decomposition reaction. Firstly, you will want to write the chemical equation out and balance it.
[tex]2Hg_2O->4Hg+O_2[/tex] (The -> is supposed to be an arrow, sorry!)
We see that there's only 1mol of Oxygen made in the products, we can do some simple math to solve for the amount of grams of Oxygen produced according to the amount of the reactant (Hg2O).
[tex]32.2gHg_2O*\frac{1molHg_2O}{417.18gHg_2O}*\frac{1molO_2}{2molHg_2O}*\frac{32gO_2}{1molO_2}[/tex]
I want to break this down, just in case:
The 417.18gHg2O is the molecular mass of the molecule (so I doubled Hg and added 16 to it to get this number).
As we can see in the chemical equation, 1mol Hg2O produces 2mol O because Oxygen is a diatomic molecule (so there will always be two of it when it's by itself).
And finally, in 1mol O2 there are 32g of O2.
** When you do math like this, always make sure that all of your units cancel out except for the units you're looking for. For example, here we're looking for the grams of Oxygen, so after everything else cancels out, we should only have grams O2.
So, 1.23gO2 should be your answer.
1. Show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature in any isolated system (hint: use entropy change that occurs during the process for your proof).
2. Work out the entropy change for the decomposition of mercuric oxide using mathematical and graphical arguments.
Answer:
1 ) Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )
Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc
∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh
= Q/tc - Q/th
2) ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k
Explanation:
1) To show that heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature
example :
Pick two(2) solid metal blocks with varying temperatures ( i.e. one solid block is hot and the other solid block is cold )
Place both blocks for time (t ) in an insulated system to reduce heat loss or gain to or from the environment
Check the temperature of both blocks after time ( t ) it will be observed that both blocks will have same temperature after time t ( first law of thermodynamics )
Δs ( entropy change for hot block ) = - Q / th ( -ve shows heat lost to cold block )
Δs ( entropy change for cold block ) = Q / tc
∴ Total Δs = ΔSc + ΔSh
= Q/tc - Q/th
2) Entropy change for Decomposition of mercuric oxide
2HgO (s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂ (g)
Δs = positive
there is transition from solid to liquid and the melting point of mercury ( the point at which reaction will take place ) = 500⁰C
hence ΔSdecomposition = S⁻ Hg - S⁻ HgO =
Δh of reaction = 181.6 KJ
Temp = 500 + 273 = 773 k
hence ΔSdecomposition = Δh / Temp = ( 181.6 * 10^3 / 773 ) = 234.928 J/k

Answer:
2.9 × 10²⁴ atoms Cu; 3.3 × 10²¹ atoms C; 1.44 × 10²⁵ atoms Hg; 9.63 × 10²² atoms Na
Explanation:
To convert moles to atoms, we need a conversion factor: Avogadro's number. There are 6.02 × 10²³ atoms in 1 mole of atoms.
4.9 mol Cu × 6.02 × 10²³ atoms Cu/1 mol Cu = 2.9 × 10²⁴ atoms Cu
5.4 × 10⁻³ mol C × 6.02 × 10²³ atoms C/1 mol C = 3.3 × 10²¹ atoms C
24.0 mol Hg × 6.02 × 10²³ atoms Hg/1 mol Hg = 1.44 × 10²⁵ atoms Hg
0.160 mol Na × 6.02 × 10²³ atoms Na/1 mol Na = 9.63 × 10²² atoms Na

Calculate the moles and the mass of solute in each of the following solutions.
(a) 150.0 mL of 0.245 M CaCl2
molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution
moles of solute = molarity × volume of solution
moles of solute = 0.245 mol/L × 0.1500 L
moles of solute = 0.03675 mol
moles of solute = 0.0368 mol
-----------------------------------------------------------
Solution: (mass of solute)Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of solute.
molar mass of solute = (40.08 g/mol × 1) + (35.45 g/mol × 2)
molar mass of solute = 110.98 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate the mass of solute.
mass of solute = moles of solute × molar mass of solute
mass of solute = 0.03675 mol × 110.98 g/mol
mass of solute = 4.08 g
Note: The volume of solution must be expressed in liters (L).
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\sf \bold {0.0368 \ mol \ CaCl_2}}}}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed {\sf \bold {4.08 \ g \ CaCl_2}}}}}[/tex]
Explanation:
1. Moles of SoluteMolarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter.
[tex]molarity= \frac {moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}[/tex]
In this solution, there are 150.0 milliliters of solution and the molarity is 0.245 M CaCl₂ or 0.245 mol CaCl₂ per liter.
First, convert the milliliters to liters. There are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter.
[tex]{150 \ mL * \frac{1 \ L}{1000 \ mL}= \frac{150}{1000} \ L = 0.150 \ L[/tex]Now, substitute the known values (molarity and liters of solution) into the formula. The moles of solution are unknown, so we can use x.
[tex]0.245 \ mol \ CaCl_2 /L= \frac{ x}{0.150 \ L}[/tex]
We are solving for x, so we must isolate this variable. It is being divided by 0.150 L. The inverse of divisions is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 0.150 L.
[tex]0.150 \ L *0.245 \ mol \ CaCl_2 /L= \frac{ x}{0.150 \ L} * 0.150 L[/tex]
[tex]0.150 \ L *0.245 \ mol \ CaCl_2 /L=x[/tex]
The units of liters cancel.
[tex]0.150 *0.245 \ mol \ CaCl_2 =x[/tex]
[tex]0.03675 \ mol \ CaCl_2[/tex]
The original measurements have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.
We should round to the ten thousandths place. The 5 to the right of this place tells us to round the 7 up to an 8.
[tex]\bold {0.0368 \ mol \ CaCl_2}[/tex]
2. Mass of the SoluteWe can convert mass to moles using the molar mass. These values are found on the Periodic Table. They are the same as the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units.
The solute is calcium chloride: CaCl₂. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.
Ca: 40.08 g/mol Cl: 35.45 g/molNotice that chlorine has a subscript of 2. We must multiply the molar mass by 2.
Cl₂: 35.45 *2= 70.9 g/molAdd calcium's molar mass.
CaCl₂: 40.08 + 70.9 =110.98 g/molUse the molar mass as a ratio.
[tex]\frac {110.98 \ g\ CaCL_2}{ 1 \ mol \ CaCl_2}[/tex]
Multiply the moles of calcium chloride we calculated above.
[tex]0.0368 \ mol \ CaCl_2 *\frac {110.98 \ g\ CaCL_2}{ 1 \ mol \ CaCl_2}[/tex]
The units of moles of calcium chloride cancel.
[tex]0.0368 *\frac {110.98 \ g\ CaCL_2}{ 1 }[/tex]
[tex]4.084064 \ g\ CaCl_2[/tex]
Round to 3 significant figures again. For this number, it is the hundredths place. The 4 in the thousandths place tells us to leave the 8.
[tex]\bold {4.08 \ g \ CaCl_2}[/tex]
What is the empirical formula for a compound if 300.00 g of it is known to contain 82.46224 g of molybdenum, 45.741 g of chlorine and the rest is bromine
Answer:
MoClBr₂
Explanation:
First we calculate the mass of bromine in the compound:
300.00 g - (82.46224 g + 45.741 g) = 171.79676 gThen we calculate the number of moles of each element, using their respective molar masses:
82.46224 g Mo ÷ 95.95 g/mol = 0.9594 mol Mo45.741 g Cl ÷ 35.45 g/mol = 1.290 mol Cl171.79676 g Br ÷79.9 g/mol = 2.150 mol BrNow we divide those numbers of moles by the lowest number among them:
0.9594 mol Mo / 0.9594 = 11.290 mol Cl / 0.9594 = 1.34 ≅ 12.150 mol Br / 0.9594 = 2.24 ≅ 2Meaning the empirical formula is MoClBr₂.

mass of MnO2:
Answer:
0.605 g
Explanation:
MnO₂(s) + 4HCl(aq) ⟶ MnCl₂(aq) + 2H₂O(l) + Cl₂(g)First we calculate how many Cl₂ moles need to be produced, using the PV=nRT formula:
P = 745 Torr ⇒ 745 / 760 = 0.980 atmV = 185 mL ⇒ 185 / 1000 = 0.185 Ln = ?R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹T = 25 °C ⇒ 25 + 273.16 = 298.16 KInputting the data:
0.980 atm * 0.185 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 298.16 Kn = 0.00696 molThen we convert 0.00696 moles of Cl₂ to MnO₂ moles:
0.00696 mol Cl₂ * [tex]\frac{1molMnO_2}{1molCl_2}[/tex] = 0.00696 mol MnO₂Finally we convert 0.00696 moles of MnO₂ to grams, using its molar mass:
0.00696 mol MnO₂ * 86.94 g/mol = 0.605 gformula of

calculate the molarity in a 0.550 m solution of NaCl in water. Assume that the solution density is 1.03g/mol
Answer:
M=0.549M
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to perform this calculation by firstly assuming we have 1 kg of water as the solvent so that we have 0.550 moles of NaCl as well. Moreover, we realize we have 1000 grams of water and the correct mass of the solution can be calculated by converting 0.550 moles of NaCl to grams by using its molar mass:
[tex]m_{solute}=0.550mol*\frac{58.44 g}{1mol}= 32.14g\\\\m_{solution}=1000g+32.14g=1032.14g[/tex]
And subsequently, the volume in liters by using the density and the correct conversion factor:
[tex]V_{solution}=1032.14g*\frac{1mL}{1.03g} *\frac{1L}{1000mL} =1.002L[/tex]
Finally, the molarity will be:
[tex]M=\frac{0.550mol}{1.002L} =0.549M[/tex]

15. You are interested in separating 4-methylbenzoic acid from 1,4-dimethoxybenzene using a procedure similar to the extraction procedure we used in lab. You plan to use sodium bicarbonate instead of sodium hydroxide. a) Show the reaction between salicylic acid and sodium bicarbonate. Label the acid, base, conjugate acid, conjugate base. b) Give the pKa values of the acid and conjugate acid. c) Which base will work better, sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate
Solution :
a). The separation of 4-methylbenzoic acid from 1,4-dimethoxybenzene will work but it will result in lower recovery.
In the reaction of acid-base to form a sodium 4 - methoxy benzoate, that is soluble in the water, 4-methoxy benzoic acid reacts with the sodium bicarbonate to give sodium 4-methoxybenzoate as well as carbonic acid.
b). The pKa for the 4-methoxybenzoic acid is [tex]4.46[/tex], and that of carbonic acid is [tex]6.37[/tex]
c). The Keq for the reaction is [tex]10(6.37 - 4.46) = 101.91[/tex]
Therefore, the equilibrium lies to the right and also the reaction favors the products and the separation works.
But the recovery will be low when compared to the extraction with Sodium hydroxide as the strong base will drive the equilibrium further to the right position, thus neutralizing all the acids virtually. And the weak base will partially neutralize the acid.
Calculate the osmotic pressure of 5.0g of sucrose ssolution in 1L. Answer should be in Torr
Answer: The osmotic pressure of 5.0g of sucrose solution in 1 L is 271.32 torr.
Explanation:
Given: Mass = 5.0 g
Volume = 1 L
Molar mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol
Moles are the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, moles of sucrose are calculated as follows.
[tex]Moles = \frac{mass}{molarmass}\\= \frac{5.0 g}{342.3 g/mol}\\= 0.0146 mol[/tex]
Hence, concentration of sucrose is calculated as follows.
[tex]Concentration = \frac{moles}{Volume (in L)}\\= \frac{0.0146 mol}{1 L}\\= 0.0146 M[/tex]
Formula used to calculate osmotic pressure is as follows.
[tex]\pi = CRT[/tex]
where,
[tex]\pi[/tex] = osmotic pressure
C = concentration
R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K
T = temperature
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
[tex]\pi = CRT\\= 0.0146 \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 298 K\\= 0.357 atm (1 atm = 760 torr)\\= 271.32 torr[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that the osmotic pressure of 5.0g of sucrose solution in 1 L is 271.32 torr.
Calcium chloride and magnesium sulfate are common drying agents. What type of solvent should be dried with calcium chloride, and what type with magnesium sulfate
Answer: The type of solvent that should be dried with calcium chloride is esters while magnesium sulfate is diethyl ether
Explanation:
Drying agents are mainly hygroscopic substances that has the ability to absorb water on exposure to the atmosphere but not enough to form solutions. They are used in desiccators. Examples of drying agents include:
--> CALCIUM CHLORIDE: This is a compound of calcium that is found in soil water and sea water. It is prepared by the action of dilute hydrochloric acid on calcium trioxocarbonate(IV). The anhydrous salt is used in drying a wide variety of solvent including esters.
--> MAGNESIUM SULFATE: This is a slightly acidic drying agent. It works well in solvents like diethyl ether. It is a fast drying agent because it comes as a fine powder with a large surface area.
You are asked to prepare a buffer solution with a pH of 3.50. The following solutions, all 0.100 M, are available to you: HCOOH, CH3COOH, H3PO4 , NaCHOO, NaCH3COO, and NaH2PO4. What would be the best combination to make the required buffer solution? Select one:
a. NaH2PO4 and NaCHOO
b. H3PO4 and NaH2PO4
c. NaH2PO4 and HCOOH
d. CH3COOH and NaCH3COO e. HCOOH and NaCHOO
can someone helo me with this
Answer:
e. HCOOH and NaCHOO
Explanation:
For a buffer solution, both an acid and its conjugate base are required.
With the information above in mind, we can discard options a) and c), as those combinations are not of an acid and its conjugate base.
Now it is a matter of comparing the pKa (found in literature tables) of the acids of the remaining three acids:
H₃PO₄ pKa = 2.12CH₃COOH pKa = 2.8HCOOH pKa = 3.74The acid with the pKa closest to the desired pH is HCOOH, so the correct answer is e. HCOOH and NaCHOO

The required nuclear equation is:
[tex]_{19} ^{40} K[/tex] → [tex]_{20} ^{40} Ca[/tex] + [tex]_{-1} ^{0} e[/tex] + ¯v
The calcium formed due to this process is a stable atom.
Describe the electron configuration of an atom using principal energy level, sublevels, orbitals, and periodic table. Give one example others may not think about and why you made this selection.
Silicon is not allowed.
Explanation:
The electron density number as well as the sublevel letter are used to describe valence electrons in an atom. The third total energy and subbasement p, for example, is denoted by 3p. The electron configuration of oxygen, for example, is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^4, which means the first two electrons will couple up in the 1s orbital, while the following two protons will pair up in the 2s orbital.
The sample atom is Carbon with electron configuration; 1s² 2s² 2p².
The principal energy level of an electron refers to the shellp in which the electron is located relative to the atom's nucleus. In this case only 2 energy levels exist in a carbon atom; which are energy level 1 and 2
The sublevels exist within a principal energy and the electron configuration of an atom is described with consideration of energy sublevels. The sublevels in a carbon atom are;
s and p energy sublevels.The orbitals in this configuration are: 1s 2s 2px 2py 2pz in which case; each orbital can accommodate 2 electrons each.
Ultimately, the location of an element on the periodic table with respect to group and period are used to determine the valency and no. of energy levels in the atom of that Element.

Based on the equations below, which metal is the least active? Pb(NO3)2(aq) + Ni (s) --> Ni(NO3)2 (aq)+ Pb(s) Pb(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s) --> No reaction Cu(
Answer:
Ni
Explanation:
An active metal is a highly reactive metal. Active metals are found high up in the activity series.
Active metals react with other metals that are lower than them in the activity thereby displacing the lower metals from a solution of their salts. This is what may have happened in the other two reactions.
Ni is the most active metal listed in the question since it can react a compounds with Pb(NO3)2(aq) to liberate Pb metal.
5. The Rf of ibuprofen was found to be 0.32 when t-butyl methyl ether was used as the development solvent. What effect would there be on the Rf of ibuprofen if acetone had been used to develop the TLC plate?
Answer:
The Rf value of ibuprofen increases
Explanation:
TLC involves the elution of a solute using a mobile phase(solvent). The stationary phase is made of an adsorbent such as silica.
The extent of interaction between the solute and the mobile phase affects the Rf value. The greater the interaction between the solute and the solvent, the greater the Rf value.
On the other hand, the polarity of the solvent and the solute also affects the Rf value. If the solvent is changed from t-butyl methyl ether to acetone, the Rf value for ibuprofen increases because ibuprofen is polar and acetone is also polar hence there is greater interaction between the solvent and solute.
