Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The information that is given in the statement “A liter of water, colored with a purple dye, was passed through a charcoal filter. The charcoal adsorbed the dye and colorless water came through. Later, the purple dye was removed from the charcoal and retained its color” has to be classified whether it is qualitative or quantitative and whether it relates to physical or chemical property.
Concept Introduction:
Physical properties:
The properties which are measured or observed without change in composition of matter are said to be physical properties. These includes appearance, texture, color, odour, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity and so on.
Chemical properties:
The properties that are observed when a substance undergoes any
Qualitative properties:
The measure of the quality of something rather than its quantity is said to qualitative observation. It includes size, appearance, value and so on.
Quantitative properties:
The measure of the quantity of something rather than its quality is said to be quantitative observation. Quantity of the substance is indicated in numerical values.
(b)
Interpretation:
The information that is given in the statement “When a white powder dissolved in a test tube of water, the test tube felt cold. Hydrochloric acid was then added, and a white solid formed” has to be classified whether it is qualitative or quantitative and whether it relates to physical or chemical property.

- A 1.6 g sample of a compound is transfered to a 100 mL volumetric flask, filled to the mark with distilled water, and thoroughly mixed. Twenty five milliters of this solution is drawn from the flask using a volumetric pipet, transfered to another 100 mL volumetric flask, and filled to the mark and mixed. The grams of compound in the second volumetric flask is: A. 1.6 B. 1.2 C. 0.80 D. 0.40arrow_forwardWhat are the storage rules of chemicals.arrow_forwardI submitted these responses and they were incorrect.

- A student performs the titration of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide. A 20.00 mL aliquot of the HCl solution required 30.50 mL of a 0.150 mol L-1 NaOH solution to reach the end point in the titration using a phenolphthalein indicator. Write the balanced molecular equation for this reaction AND determine the concentration of the original hydrochloric acid solution. Give your answer to the correct number of significant figures.arrow_forwardWhich of the following should not be included? -melting of an ice cream -vaporization -rusting of iron at room temperature -lighting a torcharrow_forward[OH−] = 1.5×10−2 Marrow_forward

- A sample of 18.5 grams of sodium phosphate is weighed out on a balance and prepared to a volume of 2.00 x 102 mL in water. What is the molarity of this aqueous solution of Na3PO4?arrow_forwardOne of the reactions in the Solvay Process involves the reaction of calcium oxide with water toproduce slaked lime (calcium hydroxide).CaO(s) + H O2 (l) - Ca(OH)2 (s)A lab technician performs the experiment and uses 54.8 g of calcium oxide to react with a setamount of water. When the reaction is completed, the technician uses a filtration apparatus tocollect the mass of calcium hydroxide produced. The following data is recorded:Mass of filter paper: 1.24 gMass of filter paper and solid: 68.04 g What is the theoretical mass of calcium hydroxide that is predicted to be produced? What mass of precipitate was collected in this experiment? What is the percent error? Comment on the validity of the resultsarrow_forwardIs there a chemical reaction between copper and silver nitrate? Which elements react, and what is the compound they form?arrow_forward
