A liquid was known to be either methyl alcohol (CH3OH) or ethyl alcohol (CH3CH2OH). The Dumas method for determining molar masses was used to obtain an approximate molar mass, and this value was used to identify the alcohol. The gaseous alcohol at 98oC and 740Torr has a mass of 0.276g in a Dumas bulb of volume equal to 270mL. Which alcohol was present

Methyl alcohol was present.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the PV=nRT formula:

And solve for n:

Now we divide the mass and the moles to calculate the molar mass:

Methyl alcohol (CH₃OH) has that molar mass.

dishwashers don't have rights

explanation:

dishwashers are meant for one thing and one thing only: dishwashing. they belong in the kitchen making sandwiches and cleaning up for the man of their household. if your dishwasher starts acting up just slap it and wait a minute.

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
