Answer:
A. This allows the plants to conserve water and not bloom during the heat of the day
Explanation:
Most desert plants only bloom at night because they take advantage of animals like moths and insects that fly at night for pollination and reproduction.
Because these plants are in the desert and do not get enough water except from short occasional rainfalls, they conserve water and not bloom during the heat of the day. They bloom at night when the temperature is low and this enhances their water conservation and survival.
Which statement defines the enthalpy of solution?
the total number of particles in a solution
the phase change from a solid to a liquid
o the difference in characteristics between reactants and products
the change in energy when one substance dissolves in another
Answer:
the change in energy when one substance dissolves in another
Explanation:
The enthalpy changes are the heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes. Actually, an enthalpy change is the difference between the sum of the heat contents of products (final state) and sum of the heat contents of reactants (initial state).
There are basically two types of heat changes that accompanies are reaction which are:
Exothermic changes Endothermic changesTherefore, the change in energy when one substance dissolves in another defines the enthalpy of solution.
Enthalpy of solution is the heat liberated or absorbed when one mole of a substance (solute) is dissolved in a specified volume of solvent (water).

Classify each of the following compounds as a strong acid, weak acid, strong base, or weak base, and write the Ka expression for any weak acid or weak base:
1. [ Select ] ["strong base", "weak base", "strong acid", "weak acid"] LiOH
2. [ Select ] ["weak acid", "strong acid", "strong base", "weak base"] HF
3. [ Select ] ["strong acid", "weak acid", "strong base", "weak base"] HCl
4. [ Select ] ["weak base", "strong base", "weak acid", "strong acid"] NH3
Ka expression: [ Select ] ["[H+][F-] / [HF]", "[Li+][OH-]/ [LiOH]", "[H+][Cl-} / [HCl]", "[NH4+] / [NH3]", "[HF] / [H+][F-}", "[LiOH] / [Li+][OH-]", "[HCl] / [H+][Cl-}", "none"]
Calculate the concentration of OHLaTeX: -? in a solution that has a concentration of H+ = 7 x 10LaTeX: -?6 M at 25°C. Multiply the answer you get by 1010 and enter that into the field to 2 decimal places.
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
There are several ways to know if an acid or base is strong. One method is calculating the pH. If the pH is really low, is a strong acid, and if it's really high is a strong base.
However we do not have a pH value here.
The other method is using bronsted - lowry theory. If an acid is strong, then his conjugate base is weak. Same thing with the bases.
Now, Looking at the 4 compounds, we can say that only two of them is weak and the other two are strong compounds. Let's see:
LiOH ---> Strong. If you try to dissociate :
LiOH ------> Li⁺ + OH⁻ The Li⁺ is a weak conjugate acid.
HF -----> Weak
HF --------> H⁺ + F⁻ The Fluorine is a relatively strong conjugate base.
HCl -----> Strong
This is actually one of the strongest acid.
NH₃ ------> Weak
Now writting the Ka and Kb expressions:
Ka = [H⁺] [F⁻] / [HF]
Kb = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH₃]
Finally, to calculate the [OH⁻] we need to use the following expression:
Kw = [H⁻] [OH⁻]
Solving for [OH⁻] we have:
[OH⁻] = Kw / [H⁺]
Remember that the value of Kw is 1x10⁻¹⁴. So replacing:
[OH⁻] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 7x10⁻⁶
[OH⁻] = 1.43x10⁻⁹ M
And now, multiplying by 10¹⁰ we have:
[OH⁻] = 1.429x10⁻⁹ * 1x10¹⁰
[OH⁻] = 14.29Hope this helps

LaKeisha is measuring the density of a solid piece of metal using the graduated cylinder method. She initially measures a volume of water in the cylinder to be 3.28 mL. After placing the metal into the graduated cylinder, the new volume was 8.72 mL. The mass of the metal was 42.26 g on a top loading balance.
Required:
What is the density of the metal calculated to the correct number of significant figures?
Answer: 7.77 g/ml
Explanation:
Volume of cylinder with only water = 3.28 mL
Volume of cylinder with water and metal = 8.72 mL
Volume of metal = (Volume of cylinder with water and metal ) -(Volume of cylinder with only water)
=8.72-3.28
=5.44 ml
Mass of metal = 42.26 g
Formula of Density = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}[/tex]
i.e. the density of the metal = [tex]\dfrac{42.26}{5.44}\approx7.77\text{ g/ml}[/tex]
Hence, the density of metal = 7.77 g/ml
table salt conducts electricity in water, but sugar does not. Explain why?
Answer:
Because sugar has no ions in the solution
Explanation:
Pure water contains very few ions, so it does not conduct electricity very well. When table salt is dissolved in water, the solution conducts very well, because the solution contains ions. When sugar is dissolved in water, the solution does not conduct electricity, because there are no ions in the solution.
In basic words the more ions in the solution there is a better chance to conduct electricity.

So;
[tex]S-L = \dfrac{1}{2} --- (1)[/tex]; &
[tex]S+L = \dfrac{5}{2} --- (1)[/tex]
Using the elimination method, we have:
[tex]2S = \dfrac{6}{2}[/tex]
[tex]S = \dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]
Since [tex]S = \dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]; then from (1)

Calculate the number of oxygen atoms in a 50.0g sample of scheelite CaWO4
Answer:
0.696 atoms of oxygen
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 50 g of scheelite CaWO₄. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass of CaWO₄ = 50 g
Molar mass of CaWO₄ = 40 + 184 + (4×16)
= 40 + 184 + 64
= 288 g/mol
Mole of CaWO₄ =?
Mole = mass / Molar mass
Mole of CaWO₄ = 50 / 288
Mole of CaWO₄ = 0.174 mole
Finally, we shall determine the number of oxygen atom in 50 g (i.e 0.174 mole) of CaWO₄. This can be obtained as follow:
1 mole of CaWO₄ contains 4 atoms of oxygen.
Therefore, 0.174 mole of CaWO₄ will contain = 0.696 atoms of oxygen.
Thus, 50 g (i.e 0.174 mole) of CaWO₄ contains 0.696 atoms of oxygen.

Explanation:
Identify the elements with oxidation state changes:
Oxidation states of iron, [tex]\rm Fe[/tex]:
[tex]+2[/tex] in [tex]\rm FeSO_4[/tex] among the reactants.[tex]+3[/tex] in [tex]\rm Fe_2(SO_4)_3[/tex] among the products.Change to the oxidation state: [tex]+1[/tex] (oxidation) for each [tex]\rm Fe[/tex] atom.Oxidation state of manganese, [tex]\rm Mn[/tex]:

If there are one mole of [tex]\rm Mn\![/tex] atoms in each mole of this reaction, there would be five times as many [tex]\rm Fe\![/tex] atoms per mole reaction. In other words:

(Notice that each mole of this reaction would include five times as many [tex]\rm Fe[/tex] atoms as [tex]\rm Mn[/tex] atoms.)
Multiply the coefficients by [tex]2[/tex] to eliminate the fraction:

There are already ten [tex]\rm S[/tex] atoms in that ten [tex]\rm Fe(SO_4)_2[/tex] formula units. The other [tex]18 - 10 = 8[/tex] formula units would correspond to eight [tex]\rm H_2SO_4[/tex] molecules among the reactants of this reaction.[tex]\displaystyle 10\, {\rm Fe}\rm SO_4 + 2\, \rm K {Mn} O_4 + 8\, H_2SO_4\\ \to 5\, {Fe} (SO_4)_3 + {1}\, K_2SO_4 + 2\, {Mn}SO_4 + ?\, H_2O[/tex].

Calculate the total volume (in mL) of the diluted solution you will need to prepare for the 3 titrations.
Determine the minimum volume (in mL) of 1.00 M NaOH stock solution needed to prepare the 0.100 M NaOH solution.
Answer:
60.0mL of the diluted solution are needed
6.00mL of the 1.00M NaOH stock solution is the minimum volume needed to prepare the diluted solution.
Explanation:
As in each titration we need to use 20.0mL of the diluted 0.100M solution. As there are 3 titration, the volume must be:
3 * 20.0mL = 60.0mL of the diluted solution are needed
Now, to prepare a 0.100M NaOH solution from a 1.00M NaOH stock solution the dilution must be of:
1.00M / 0.100M = 10 times must be diluted the solution.
As we need at least 60.0mL, the minimum volume of the stock solution must be:

How many orbitals in an atom can have each of the following designations:
(a) 1s;
(b) 4d;
(c) 3p;
(d) n=3?
Answer:
(a) 1s; has one orbital
(b) 4d; has five orbitals
(c) 3p; has three orbitals
(d) n=3 has nine orbitals
Explanation:
Electrons in an atom are always in constant motion, making it hard to predict there exact position. However, the most probable locations electrons can be be found are described with the terms shells, subshells and orbitals. A shell contains subshells and orbitals are found within subshells. The shells are given names such as K, L, M, N, which correspond to the principal quantum numbers, n = 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. There are 4 major types of subshells that can be found in a shell. They are named as s, p, d, f. Each subshell is composed of several orbitals.
a. 1s; the s subshell has only one orbital. Therefore, the 1s subshell has one orbital
b. 4d; the d subshell has five orbitals. Therefore, the 4d subshell has five orbitals
c. 3p; the p subshell has three orbitals. Therefore, the 3d subshell has three orbitals
d. n = 3; the shell with n = 3 has the following subshells, 3s, 3p, 3d.the number of orbitals will be 1 + 3 + 5 = 9 orbitals. Therefore, the number of orbitals in n = 3 is nine orbitals

Vinegar is insoluble in vegatable oil. Does this mean that vinegar is a totally insoluble substance?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
This does not mean that vinegar is insoluble totally. In fact, vinegar is soluble in water because water is a polar solvent.
For a substance to be soluble in another, it must obey the rule of solubility.
The rule states that "like dissolves like"
It implies that polar solvent will only dissolve polar solute.
Also, non-polar solvent will only dissolve non-polar solute.
Vegetable oil is a non-polar solventIt cannot dissolve a polar solute such as vinegarTherefore, the answer is no, vinegar will dissolve in water.

Consider the following chemical equilibrium:
NH4SH(s) ⇌ H2SgNH3(g) Now write an equation below that shows how to calculate Kp from Kc for this reaction at an absolute temperature T. You can assume T is comfortably above room temperature. If you include any common physical constants in your equation be sure you use their standard symbols, found in the ALEKS Calculator.
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
First, let's write the reaction:
NH₄SH(s) <------> H₂S(g) + NH₃(g)
The reaction is already balanced so we don't need to do anything else.
Second, let's take into account the following. The Kc expression for this reaction, only compounds in gaseous state are the only ones that contribute to the equilibrium. Solid and liquid do not contribute to the Kc expression. This is because solid and liquid have a constant concentration near to 1, so, it won't do any difference.
Knowing this, the Kc expression for this reaction is:
Kc = [H₂S] [NH₃]
Now, to calculate Kp from Kc, there's an expression that helps a lot to do this. The expression is the following:
Kp = Kc (RT)ᵃⁿ (1)
Where:
R: universal constant of gases
T: Temperature in K
ᵃⁿ = difference of the coefficients of the reaction.
This expression comes from the fact that Kp is an expression that instead of working with concentrations, it works with pressure.
If we use the ideal gas equation we have:
PV = nRT
Solving for P:
P = nRT/V and C = n/V so
P = CRT
If we now replace this, in the Kp expression of equilibrium we have:
Kp = pH₂S * pNH₃
Kp = ([H₂S]RT)¹ ([NH₃]RT)¹
Kp = (RT)¹⁺¹ ([H₂S] [NH₃])
Kp = (RT)²Kc
So finally the expression for Kp would be:
Kp = Kc (RT)²Hope this helps

A sample of PCl5 weighting 2.69 gram was placed in 1.00 Litter container and completely vaporized at 250C. The pressure observed at that temperature was 1.00 atm. The possibility exists that some of the PCl5 dissociated according to PCl5 (g) ! PCl3 (g) Cl2 (g) . What must be the partial pressures of PCl5 PCl3 and Cl2 under these experimental conditions
Answer:
Partial pressures:
PCl₅ = 0.558 atm
PCl₃ = 0.22 atm
Cl₂ = 0.22 atm
Explanation:
From the given information:
The number of moles of PCl₅ associated with the evaporation is:
[tex]n_{PCl_5}= \dfrac {weight \ of \ PCl_5} {M.Wt. \ of \ PCl_5}[/tex]
[tex]n_{PCl_5}= \dfrac {2.69 \ g} {208.5 \ g/mol}[/tex]
[tex]n_{PCl_5}= 0.013 \ mol[/tex]
Temperature of the gas = 250° C = (250 + 273.15) K
= 523.15 K
Using the Ideal gas equation to determine the pressure exerted by the completely vaporized PCl₅
PV = nRT
[tex]P = \dfrac{nRT}{V}[/tex]
[tex]P = \dfrac{0.0013 \ mol \times 0.082 \ Latm^0 K^{-1} . mol ^{-1} \times 523.15 \ K}{1.0 \ L}[/tex]
P = 0.558 atm
Thus, at 250° C, decomposition of PCl₅ occurs.
In the container, PCl₅ decomposes to PCl₃ and Cl₂.
i.e.
[tex]PCl_{5(g)} \to PCl_{3(g)}+ Cl_{2(g)}[/tex]
Using Dalton's Law:
[tex]P_{total } =P_1 + P_2+P_3 +...[/tex]
[tex]P_1 = P_{Total} \times X_1[/tex]
where;
X = mole fraction
Then, the total no. of moles in the container is:
[tex]n = \dfrac{PV} {RT}[/tex]
[tex]n = \dfrac{1\ atm \times 1.0\ L}{0.0821 \ L \ atm \ K^{-1}.mol \times 523.15\ K}[/tex]
n = 0.023 mol
Now, the container contains a total amount of 0.023 mol where initially 0.013 mol are that of PCl₅ and remaining 0.005 mol of PCl₃ and 0.005 mol of Cl₂.
Thus, the partial pressure of PCl₃ is:
[tex]P__{PCL_3} }= P_{total} \times \dfrac{no. \ of \ moles \ of PCl_5}{total \ no. \ of \ moles}[/tex]
[tex]P__{PCL_3}} = 1 \ atm \times \dfrac{0.005}{0.023}[/tex]
[tex]P__{PCL_3}} = 0.22 \ atm[/tex]
Thus, since the no of moles of PCl₃ and Cl₂ are the same, then the partial pressure for Cl₂ is = 0.22 atm
