A student is instructed to make 1 L of a 2.0 M solution of CaCl2 using dry salt. How should he do this?

1 answer:

4 0

The student should follow following steps to make 1 L of 2.0 M CaCl₂.

1. First he should calculate the number of moles of 2.0 M CaCl₂ in 1 L solution.

Molarity of the solution = 2.0 M
Volume of solution which should be prepared = 1 L

Molarity = number of moles / volume of the solution

Hence, number of moles in 1 L = 2 mol

2. Find out the mass of dry CaCl₂ in 2 moles.

moles = mass / molar mass

Moles of CaCl₂ = 2 mol
Molar mass of CaCl₂ = 110.98 g/mol

Hence, mass of CaCl₂ = 2 mol x 110.98 g/mol
= 221.96 g

3. Weigh the mass accurately

4. Then take a cleaned and dry1 L volumetric flask and place a funnel top of it. Then carefully add the salt into the volumetric flask and finally wash the funnel and watch glass with de-ionized water. That water also should be added into the volumetric flask.

5. Then add some de-ionized water into the volumetric flask and swirl well until all salt are dissolved.

6. Then top up to mark of the volumetric flask carefully.

7. As the final step prepared solution should be labelled.

Answer:

Project 3.

Explanation:

Project 3's anticipated cost is 12 to 17 million dollars. It is a lower anticipated cost than Project 2 and Project 4, but higher than Project 1 by one million dollars at maximum cost anticipation. Additionally, the percentage of wildlife to benefit is 70-80%, which is second to the most wildlife to benefit which is Project 4 at 75-80%.

And finally, for community support for Project 3 - the chart lists it as high. This outclasses Project 2 and Project 4, but balances with Project 1. However, Project 1 costs 13 to 16 million dollars and only benefits 15-25% of wildlife.

-BARSIC- [3]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Water molecules have a polarity, which allows them to be electrically attracted to other water molecules and other polar molecules by weak chemical bonds known as Hydrogen Bond.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Hydrogen Bond Interactions are those interactions which are formed between a partial +ive hydrogen atom bonded directly to most electronegative atoms (i.e. Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen) of one molecule interacts with the partial -ive most electronegative atom of another molecule. These interactions are considered the strongest intermolecular interactions and are responsible for many stronger physical properties of water like, boiling point, viscosity, solubility e.t.c.

Attached figure shows the hydrogen bond interactions (green dashed lines) between water molecules. The partial charges are shown in red color.
