Answer:

b .The type of force that water striders use is stronger than the type of force that geckos use.

Explanation:

Geckos and water striders use attractive forces for stick to glass and to walk on water, respectively. The glass is a nonpolar substance, and it's possible that in geckos paws there are nonpolar substances, so the force between them is London's forces.

The water is a polar compound, and the water strides make dipole-dipole forces to walk on water, because in its pawns that are polar molecules too.

Dipole-dipole force is stronger than London's forces because the polar substances are more attracted between them (electrostatic attraction).

Suppose of barium acetate is dissolved in of a aqueous solution of ammonium sulfate. Calculate the final molarity of barium cati

ollegr [7]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the given data is as follows.

mass of barium acetate = 2.19 g

volume = 150 ml = 0.150 L (as 1 L = 1000 ml)

concentration of the aqueous solution = 0.10 M

Therefore, the reaction equation will be as follows.

$Ba(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2} \rightarrow Ba^{2+} + 2C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2}$

Hence, moles of $C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2}$ = $2 \times Ba(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2}$ .......... (1)

As, No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

Hence, moles of $Ba(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2}$ will be calculated as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{2.19 g}{255.415 g/mol}$ (molar mass of $Ba(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2}$ is 255.415 g/mol)

= $8.57 \times 10^{-3}$

Moles of $C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2}$ = $2 \times 8.57 \times 10^{-3}$

= 0.01715 mol

Hence, final molarity will be as follows.

Molarity = $\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}$

= $\frac{0.01715 mol}{0.150 L}$

= 0.114 M

Thus, we can conclude that final molarity of barium cation in the solution is 0.114 M.

Determine the amount of sodium hypochlorite in Bleach you tolerated a 23.82 ml sample of 0.0100 M KIO cuboid with a solution of

Kisachek [45]

Answer: The moles of KIO cuboid titrated are 0.0002382

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute

$V_s$ = volume of solution in ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$0.0100=\frac{n\times 1000}{23.82}$

$n=0.0002382$

Therefore, the moles of KIO cuboid are 0.0002382
