Concept explainers
Explain how you could experimentally determine whether the outside temperature is higher or lower than 0 oC (32 oF) without using a thermometer.

Interpretation:
The experimental method should be explained used to determine whether the outside temperature is higher or lower than 0oC without using a thermometer.
Concept introduction:
Change in temperature can lead to physical changes in the system. Such change indicates the temperature specifications.
Answer to Problem 1E
The change of the state of the water in both glasses is due to the movement of heat and causes physical transformation.
Explanation of Solution
Step 1: Take two glasses, glass A and B and fill them with freezing and normal water, respectively.
Step 2: Keep the glasses outside and notice the physical changes occurs. If the water in glass A (freezing water) starts melting and water in glass B (normal water) remains same, then the temperature is higher than 0°C.
In case the water in glass B (normal water) starts to freeze and water in glass A (freezing water) doesn’t show any change, then the temperature is less or equal to 0°C.
When the system comes in the contact of the outside environment or surroundings, the transfer of heat takes place. This transfer of heat causes physical changes in the system.
As in the experiment, the system are two water glasses and as soon these are subjected to outer environment some physical changes take place which indicates the temperature of the surroundings.

The same ion has a diffusion coefficient of 9.5 x 10-6cm2s-1. If this ion is separated from cations by CZE with a 75cm capillary, what is the expected plate count, N, at an applied voltage of 15.0kV? Under these separation conditions, the electroosmotic flow rate was 0.85mm s-1 toward the cathode. If the detector was 50.0cm from the injection end of the capillary, how long would it take in minutes for the analyte cation to reach the detector after the field was applied?arrow_forward

A commercial oxygenated bleach is much safer to handle and less likely to ruin your clothes. It is possible to determine the amount of active ingredient in an oxygenated bleach product by performing a redox titration. The balance reaction for such a titration is: 6H+ +5H2O2 +2MnO4- à 5O2 + 2Mn2+ + 8H2O If you performed the following procedure: “First, dilute the Seventh Generation Non-Chlorine Bleach by pipetting 10 mL of bleach in a 100 mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with distilled water. Next, pipet 10 mL of the diluted bleach solution into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask and add 20 mL of 1.0 M H2SO4 to the flask. This solution should be titrated with 0.0100 M KMnO4 solution.” It took 18.47mL of the KMnO4 to reach the endpoint on average.
