1. Why is it necessary to equalize the pressure(i.e, have the water level the same in each tube) before taking a volume reading?

Answer:

If you contact water with a gas at a certain temperature and (partial) pressure, the concentration of the gas in the water will reach an equilibrium ('saturation') according to Henry's law.

Explanation:

This means: if you increase the pressure (e.g. by keeping the vial closed), the CO2 concentration will increase. So it simply depends what concentration you need for your assay: 'CO2-saturated' water at low pressure or 'CO2-saturated' water at high pressure.

Answer:

Molar mass of unknown solute is 679 g/mol

Explanation:

Let us assume that the solute is a non-electrolyte.

For a solution with non-electrolyte solute remains dissolved in it -

Depression in freezing point of solution, $\Delta T_{f}=K_{f}.m$

where, m is molality of solute in solution and $K_{f}$ is cryogenoscopic constant of solvent.

Here $\Delta T_{f}=(-22.9^{0}\textrm{C})-(-28.7^{0}\textrm{C})=5.8^{0}\textrm{C}$

If molar mass of unknown solute is M g/mol then-

$m=\frac{\frac{2.2}{M}}{0.0167}mol/kg$

So, $5.8^{0}\textrm{C}=29.9^{0}\textrm{C}/(mol/kg)\times \frac{\frac{2.2g}{M}}{0.0167}mol/kg$

so, M = 679 g/mol

How fast is the speed of light?

Tpy6a [65]

The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum.
It's somewhat slower in any material substance, and different in
each substance.

(That's 186,282.4 miles per second.)
