A uniform plastic block floats in water with 50.0 % of its volume above the surface of the water. The block is placed in a second liquid and floats with 23.0 % of its volume above the surface of the liquid.
What is the density of the second liquid?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Answer:
density of second liquid = 650 kg/m³
Explanation:
Given that:
The volume of the plastic block submerged inside the water = 0.5 V
The force on the plastic block = [tex]\rho_1V_1g[/tex]
[tex]= 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]
when the block is floating, the weight supporting the force (buoyancy force) is:
W [tex]= 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]
[tex]\rho Vg = 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]
[tex]\rho = 0.5 \rho _1[/tex]
where;
water density [tex]\rho _1[/tex] = 1000
[tex]\rho = 0.5 (1000)[/tex]
[tex]\rho = 500 kg/m^3[/tex]
In the second liquid, the volume of plastic block in the water = (100-23)%
= 77% = 0.7 V
The force on the plastic block is:
[tex]= 0.77p_2 V_g[/tex]
when the block is floating, the weight supporting the force (buoyancy force) is:
[tex]W = 0.77p_2 V_g[/tex]
[tex]\rho Vg = 0.77 \rho_2 V_g \\ \\ \rho = 0.77 \rho_2 \\ \\ 500 = 0.77 \rho_2 \\ \\ \rho_2 = 500/0.77[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{ \rho_2 \simeq 650 \ kg/m^3}[/tex]
A hypothetical A-B alloy of composition 53 wt% B-47 wt% A at some temperature is found to consist of mass fractions of 0.5 for both and phases. If the composition of the phase is 92 wt% B-8 wt% A, what is the composition of the phase
Answer:
the composition of the ∝ phase C∝ = 14 or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Co = 53 or [ 53 wt% B-47 wt% A ]
W∝ = 0.5 = Wβ
Cβ = 92 or [ 92 wt% B-8 wt% A ]
Now, lets set up the Lever rule for W∝ as follows;
W∝ = [ Cβ - Co ] / [ Cβ - C∝ ]
so we substitute our given values into the expression;
0.5 = [ 92 - 53 ] / [ 92 - C∝ ]
0.5 = 39 / [ 92 - C∝ ]
0.5[ 92 - C∝ ] = 39
46 - 0.5C∝ = 39
0.5C∝ = 46 - 39
0.5C∝ = 7
C∝ = 7 / 0.5
C∝ = 14 or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]
Therefore, the composition of the ∝ phase C∝ = 14 or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]

42 Organic compound may have names ending in -ane, -ene, -ol or -oic acid. How many of these endings indicate the compounds contain double bonds in their molecules? * (1 Point)
Answer: Organic compounds ending with the name (-ene) indicate that the compounds contain double bonds in their molecules.
Explanation:
Organic compounds are those molecules that contains carbon atoms (as their main element), hydrogen and oxygen which are usually present. The presence of numerous organic compounds is due to the following properties of carbon:
--> the exceptional ability of carbon atoms to catenate, that is, to combine with one another to form straight chains, branched chains or ring compounds containing many carbon atoms.
--> The ease with which carbon combines with hydrogen, oxygen, Nitrogen and halogens
--> The ability of carbon atoms to form single, DOUBLE or triple bonds.
The organic compound that has the name ending with -ene are known as the alkenes. The members of the alkene series are formed from the alkanes by the removal of two hydrogen atoms and the introduction of a DOUBLE BOND in the carbon chain. They are named after the corresponding alkanes by changing the -ane ending to -ene.
Note: the systematic name of a compound is formed from the root hydrocarbon by adding a suffix and prefixes to denote the substitution of the hydrogen atoms.

ClCH2COOH (pKa = 2.86)
CH3CH2NH+3 (pKa = 10.7)
Express your answer using two decimal places
a. Determine a pH at which 50% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
b. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
c. Determine a pH at which 50% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
d. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Answer:
a. 2..86 b. 4.86 c. 10.7 d. 8.7
Explanation:
a. Determine a pH at which 50% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base (or charged form) and [HA] = concentration of acid.
At 50% concentration, [A⁻] = [HA] ⇒ [A⁻]/[HA] = 1
So, pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
pH = pKa + log1
pH = pKa = 2.86
b. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Let x be the concentration of the acid. Since 99% of it should possess a charge, the basic concentration is 0.99x while the acidic concentration is remaining 1 % (1 - 0.99)x = 0.01x
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA] where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base (or charged form) = 0.99x and [HA] = concentration of acid = 0.01x.
pH = pKa + log0.99x/0.01x
pH = pKa + log0.99/0.01
pH = 2.86 + log99
pH = 2.86 + 1.996
pH = 4.856
pH ≅ 4.86
c. Determine a pH at which 50% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base and [HA] = concentration of acid.
At 50% concentration, [A⁻] = [HA] ⇒ [A⁻]/[HA] = 1
So, pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]
pH = pKa + log1
pH = pKa = 10.7
d. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
Let x be the concentration of the acid. Since 99% of it should possess a charge, the basic concentration is 0.01x while the acidic concentration is remaining 99 % (1 - 0.01)x = 0.99x (which possesses the charge).
Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,
pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA] where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base = 0.01x and [HA] = concentration of acid = 0.99x.
pH = pKa + log0.01x/0.99x
pH = pKa + log1/99
pH = 10.7 - log99
pH = 10.7 - 1.996
pH = 8.704
pH ≅ 8.7
7. There are 7. 0 ml of 0.175 M H2C2O4 , 1 ml of water , 4 ml of 3.5M KMnO4 what is the molar concentration ofH2C2O4 ?
8. Using the data from question 7 what is the molar concentration of KMnO4 ?
10. From question number 7, what effect increasing the volume of water has on the reaction rate?
Answer:
7. 0.1021 M
8. 1.167 M
10. Increase in volume of water would lower the rate of reaction
Explanation:
7. What is the molar concentration of H₂C₂O₄ ?
Since we have 7.0 ml of 0.175 M H₂C₂O₄, the number of moles of H₂C₂O₄ present n = molarity of H₂C₂O₄ × volume of H₂C₂O₄ = 0.175 mol/L × 7.0 ml = 0.175 mol/L × 7 × 10⁻³ L = 1.225 × 10⁻³ mol.
Also, the total volume present V = volume of H2C2O4 + volume of water + volume of KMnO4 = 7.0 ml + 1 ml + 4 ml = 12 ml = 12 × 10⁻³ L
So, the molar concentration of H₂C₂O₄, M = number of moles of H₂C₂O₄/volume = n/V
= 1.225 × 10⁻³ mol/12 × 10⁻³ L
= 0.1021 mol/L
= 0.1021 M
8. Using the data from question 7 what is the molar concentration of KMnO₄ ?
Since we have 4.0 ml of 3.5 M KMnO₄, the number of moles of KMnO4 present n' = molarity of KMnO₄ × volume of KMnO₄ = 3.5 mol/L × 4.0 ml = 3.5 mol/L × 4 × 10⁻³ L = 14 × 10⁻³ mol.
Also, the total volume present V = volume of KMnO₄ + volume of water + volume of KMnO₄ = 7.0 ml + 1 ml + 4 ml = 12 ml = 12 × 10⁻³ L
So, the molar concentration of KMnO₄, M' = number of moles of KMnO₄/volume = n'/V
= 14 × 10⁻³ mol/12 × 10⁻³ L
= 1.167 mol/L
= 1.167 M
10. From question number 7, what effect increasing the volume of water has on the reaction rate?
Increase in volume of water would lower the rate of reaction because, the particles of both substances would have to travel farther distances to collide with each other, since there are less particles present in the solution and thus, the concentration of the particles would decrease thereby decreasing the rate of reaction.

5.60g of glyceraldehydes was dissolved in 10ml of a solvent and placed in a 50mm cell if the rotation is 1.74 calculate the specific rotation?
Answer:
6.214 degrees-mL/gdm
Explanation:
The specific rotation α' = α/LC where α = observed rotation, L = length of tube and C = concentration of solution.
Given that α = 1.74, L = length of cell = 50 mm = 0.50 dm and C = m/V where m = mass of glyceraldehyde = 5.60 g and V = volume = 10 ml
So, C = m/V = 5.60 g/10 ml = 0.560 g/ml
Since α' = α/LC
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
α' = α/LC
α' = 1.74/(0.50 dm × 0.560 g/ml)
α' = 1.74/(0.28 gdm/l)
α' = 0.006214 °mL/gdm
α' = 6.214 °mL/gdm
α' = 6.214 degrees-mL/gdm

Sometimes in lab we collect the gas formed by a chemical reaction over water . This makes it easy to isolate and measure the amount of gas produced.
Suppose the CO, gas evolved by a certain chemical reaction taking place at 50.0°C is collected over water, using an apparatus something like that in the sketch, and the final volume of gas in the collection tube is measured to be 132. mL. Calculate the mass of CO, that is in the collection tube. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
0.17 g
Explanation:
Since the volume of gas collected is 132 mL, we need to find the number of moles of gas present in 132 mL.
So, number of moles, n = volume of gas, v/molar volume, V
n = v/V where v = 132 mL = 0.132 L and V = 22.4 L
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
n = v/V
n = 0.132 L/22.4 L
n = 0.005893 mol
We then need to calculate the molar mass of CO, M = atomic mass of carbon + atomic mass of oxygen = 12 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 28 g/mol
Also, number of moles of gas, n = m/M where m = mass of CO and M = molar mass of CO
m = nM
m = 0.005893 mol × 28 g/mol
m = 0.165004 g
m ≅ 0.17 g to 2 significant digits

1. Most of the chemicals included in your General Chemistry Lab kit can be discarded down a drain. Describe a situation in which you would need to neutralize a chemical before discarding down a drain.
Answer: Chemicals like acids and bases are harmful and must be neutralized before draining.
Explanation:
A strong acid or strong base is required to be diluted or neutralized before it is discarded in the drain as if is discarded without diluting and neutralization it can spill and splash from sink or drain and can harm people in chemistry lab, moreover the fumes of the discarded chemical on spilling can cause respiratory tract burning and can even cause fire hazard so it must be converted into less harmful form and then must be drained.
For the following list of acids, rank the acids in strength from weakest acid to strongest acid.
a. FCH2OH
b. F2CHOH
c. CH3OH
d. F3COH
Answer:
CH3OH < FCH2OH < F2CHOH < F3COH
Explanation:
Let us recall that, for a carboxylic acid, the dissociation of the acid yields;
RCOOH ⇄RCOO^- + H^+
The ease of dissociation and release of the hydrogen ion depends on the nature of the group designated R.
When R is is a highly electronegative element, the -I inductive effect causes the hydrogen to become less tightly held by the C-Cl bond.
As the number of electron withdrawing substituents increaseses, the acid ionizes much more and becomes stronger.CH3OH < FCH2OH < F2CHOH < F3COH
Hence, the order of decreasing acid strength is;
