Chapter 5, Problem 146AE

One of the chemical controversies of the nineteenth century concerned the element beryllium (Be). Berzelius originally claimed that beryllium was a trivalent element (forming Be³⁺ ions) and that it gave an oxide with the formula Be₂O₃. This resulted in a calculated atomic mass of 13.5 for beryllium. In formulating his periodic table, Mendeleev proposed that beryllium was divalent (forming Be²⁺ ions) and that it gave an oxide with the formula Be₂O₃. This assumption gives an atomic mass of 9.0. In 1894, A. Combes (Comptes Rendus 1894, p. 1221) reacted beryllium with the anion C₅H₇O₂⁻and measured the density of the gaseous product. Combes’s data for two different experiments are as follows:

	I	II
Mass	0.2022 g	0.2224 g
Volume	22.6 cm³	26.0 cm³
Temperature	13°C	17°C
Pressure	765.2 mm Hg	764.6 mm

If beryllium is a divalent metal, the molecular formula of the product will be Be(C₅H₇O₂)₂; if it is trivalent, the formula will be Be(C₅H₇O₂)₃. Show how Combes’s data help to confirm that beryllium is a divalent metal.

An essential part of the experimental design process is to select appropriate dependent and independent variables. True False

10.00 g of Compound X with molecular formula C₂Hg are burned in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 40.00 kg of water at 25 °C. The temperature of the water is observed to rise by 2.604 °C. (You may assume all the heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the water, and none by the calorimeter itself.) Calculate the standard heat of formation of Compound X at 25 °C. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.

need help not sure what am doing wrong step by step please answer is 971A During the lecture, we calculated the Debye length at physiological salt concentrations and temperature, i.e. at an ionic strength of 150 mM (i.e. 0.150 mol/l) and a temperature of T=310 K. We predicted that electrostatic interactions are effectively screened beyond distances of 8.1 Å in solutions with a physiological salt concentration. What is the Debye length in a sample of distilled water with an ionic strength of 10.0 µM (i.e. 1.00 * 10-5 mol/l)? Assume room temperature, i.e. T= 298 K, and provide your answer as a numerical expression with 3 significant figures in Å (1 Å = 10-10 m).
