Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical weathering is the disintegration of rock into smaller and smaller fragments.

Describe the formation of ions by electron loss or gain

Ronch [10]

Explanation:

Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. This is so that they form a full outer shell of electrons. When an atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, because electrons are negatively charged. For example, all halogens (group 7 or 17) form negative ions as they gain an electron forming a 1- charge. When an atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, as it is losing some negative charge from the electrons. This would be for example, alkali metals (group 1) which lose an electron to form a positive ion with a 1+ charge, (ALL metals form positive ions).

The concentrated sulfuric acid we use in the laboratory is 98.0% sulfuric acid by weight. Calculate the molality and molarity of

timama [110]

Answer : The molarity and molality of the solution is, 18.29 mole/L and 499.59 mole/Kg respectively.

Solution : Given,

Density of solution = $1.83g/cm^3=1.83g/ml$

Molar mass of sulfuric acid (solute) = 98.079 g/mole

98.0 % sulfuric acid by mass means that 98.0 gram of sulfuric acid is present in 100 g of solution.

Mass of sulfuric acid (solute) = 98.0 g

Mass of solution = 100 g

Mass of solvent = Mass of solution - Mass of solute = 100 - 98.0 = 2 g

First we have to calculate the volume of solution.

$\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{\text{Density of solution}}=\frac{100g}{1.83g/ml}=54.64ml$

Now we have to calculate the molarity of solution.

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{volume of solution}}=\frac{98.0g\times 1000}{98.079g/mole\times 54.64ml}=18.29mole/L$

Now we have to calculate the molality of the solution.

$Molality=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent}}=\frac{98.0g\times 1000}{98.079g/mole\times 2g}=499.59mole/Kg$

Therefore, the molarity and molality of the solution is, 18.29 mole/L and 499.59 mole/Kg respectively.
