Choose the best answer: A colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another is called (a) a gel, (b) an emulsion, (c) a foam, (d) an aerosol.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The best answer is (b) an emulsion, as it is the correct term for a colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the terms

(a) A gel is a semi-solid system made up of a solid-like network dispersed in a liquid. It is not a colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another. (b) An emulsion is a mixture of two liquids that don't dissolve in each other with one liquid being dispersed as tiny droplets in the other liquid. It is a colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another. (c) A foam is a substance that is formed by trapping air or gas bubbles inside a liquid or solid. It is not a colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another. (d) An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid or liquid particles in a gas. It is not the colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another.

Choose the best answer

Out of the given options, (b) an emulsion is the correct term for a colloidal dispersion of one liquid in another. Therefore, the answer is (b) an emulsion.

Indicate whether each statement is true or false: (a) \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) dissolves in water but not in benzene \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{6}\right)\) because benzene is denser than water. (b) \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) dissolves in water but not in benzene because water has a large dipole moment and benzene has zero dipole moment. (c) \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) dissolves in water but not in benzene because the water-ion interactions are stronger than benzene-ion interactions.

The maximum allowable concentration of lead in drinking water is \(9.0 \mathrm{ppb}\). (a) Calculate the molarity of lead in a 9.0\(\mathrm{ppb}\) solution. (b) How many grams of lead are in a swimming pool containing \(9.0 \mathrm{ppb}\) lead in \(60 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\) of water?

Commercial concentrated aqueous ammonia is \(28 \% \mathrm{NH}_{3}\) by mass and has a density of \(0.90 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}\). What is the molarity of this solution?

The presence of the radioactive gas radon \((\mathrm{Rn})\) in well water presents a possible health hazard in parts of the United States. (a) Assuming that the solubility of radon in water with 1 atm pressure of the gas over the water at \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is \(7.27 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M}\), what is the Henry's law constant for radon in water at this temperature? (b) A sample consisting of various gases contains \(3.5 \times 10^{-6}\) mole fraction of radon. This gas at a total pressure of 32 atm is shaken with water at \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Calculate the molar concentration of radon in the water.
