A 12.0% sucrose solution by mass has a density of 1.05 gem, what mass of sucrose is present in a 32.0-mL sample of this solution

natulia [17]

Answer:

Option C. 4.03 g

Explanation:

Firstly we analyse data.

12 % by mass, is a sort of concentration. It indicates that in 100 g of SOLUTION, we have 12 g of SOLUTE.

Density is the data that indicates grams of solution in volume of solution.

We need to determine, the volume of solution for the concentration

Density = mass / volume

1.05 g/mL = 100 g / volume

Volume = 100 g / 1.05 g/mL → 95.24 mL

Therefore our 12 g of solute are contained in 95.24 mL

Let's finish this by a rule of three.

95.24 mL contain 12 g of sucrose

Our sample of 32 mL may contain ( 32 . 12) / 95.24 = 4.03 g

Balance each of the following redox reactions occurring in basic solution.MnO−4(aq)+Br−(aq)→MnO2(s)+BrO−3(aq)Express your answer

Ahat [919]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

$2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$

Explanation :

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in basic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.
Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.
Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.
If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the more number of oxygen are present.
If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydroxide ion $(OH^-)$ at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.
Now balance the charge.

The half reactions in the basic solution are :

Reduction : $MnO_4^-(aq)+2H_2O(l)+3e^-\rightarrow MnO_2(s)+4OH^-(aq)$ ......(1)

Oxidation : $Br^-(aq)+6OH^-(aq)\rightarrow BrO_3^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+6e^-$ .......(2)

Now multiply the equation (1) by 2 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution will be,

$2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$

Calculate the mass of water vapour present in a room of volume 400 m3 that contains air at 27 °C on a day when the relative humi

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Mass of water = 6251. 706g or 6.25Kg

Explanation:

Relative humidity = (actual vapor pressure/saturation vapor pressure) * 100%

Actual vapor pressure, Pw = relative humidity * saturation vapor pressure

Pw = 60% * (35.6 *0.001)atm = 0.0216atm

Note: 1mbar = 0.001atm

Using the ideal gas equation: PV=nRT; where P = Pw= 0.02136atm, V= (400

* 1000)dm^3, R= 0.082 atmdm^3/kmol, T= (27+273)K, n = number of moles

Note: 1m^3 = 1000dm^3,R is the molar gas constant.

Making n subject of the formula, n = PV/RT

n= (0.02136 * 400000)/(0.082 * 300) = 347.317 moles

Mass (g) = number of moles (n) * molar mass

molar mass of water=18g

Mass of water = 347.317 * 18 = 6251. 706g or 6.25Kg
