Answer:

Explanation:

Temperature is directly related to kinetic energy (KE). As we raise temperature, we are raising KE, as well. Particles with more KE move more quickly and with more force.

This means that these particles are more likely to collide with each other and react to allow the chemical reaction to follow through. In turn, if the chemical reaction is more likely to go to completion, the reaction rate increases, eliminating A and B.

The concentration of the solute is not affected by the temperature; in other words, temperature will not increase or decrease the amount of solute in the solution, so eliminate D.

Thus the answer is C.

Hope this helps!

What type of temperature changes produce large crystals

Annette [7]

Temperature has a clear effect on the growth rate of salt crystals. If you carry out an experiment with salt solutions, one at room temperature, one at a colder temperature and one at a warmer temperature, you see that the warm temperature sample grows crystals faster than both the other samples, and the room temperature sample grows faster than the cold sample. This is because a higher temperature increases the rate of evaporation of the solvent, thereby speeding up the rate of growth. Different temperatures produce different amounts of crystals. Colder solutions contract, forcing minerals closer together, so they create bonds, catching impurities in their structure at the same time. These impurities interrupt the crystal pattern, forming a larger number of smaller crystals. In warmer temperatures, the distance between molecules is greater, which allows crystals to form larger, purer shapes at a much more uniform rate than can occur at colder temperatures.

What is the molar concentration (in moles/L) of a solution made with 3.744 g of Mg(NO3)2 dissolved in enough water to make 50.0

Annette [7]

Answer:

The molar concentration of a solution made with 3.744 g of Mg(NO₃)₂ dissolved in enough water to make 50.0 mL of solution is $0.5 \frac{moles}{L}$

Explanation:

Molarity or Molar Concentration is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a certain volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution:

$molarity=\frac{number of moles}{volume}$

In this case:

Mg: 24.3 g/mole
N: 14 g/mole
O: 16 g/mole

So, the molar mass of Mg(NO₃)₂ is:

Mg(NO₃)₂= 24.3 g/mole + 2*(14 g/mole + 3*16 g/mole)= 148.3 g/mole

So, if you have 3.744 g of Mg(NO₃)₂, you can apply the following rule of three: if 148.3 grams of Mg(NO₃)₂ are present in 1 mole, 3.744 grams in how many moles are present?

$moles=\frac{3.744 grams*1mole}{148.3 grams}$

moles= 0.025

Then you have:

number of moles=0.025
volume= 50 mL= 0.05 L (being 1,000 mL= 1 L)

Replacing in the definition of molarity:

$molarity=\frac{0.025 moles}{0.05 L}$

you get:

$molarity=0.5 \frac{moles}{L}$

The molar concentration of a solution made with 3.744 g of Mg(NO₃)₂ dissolved in enough water to make 50.0 mL of solution is $0.5 \frac{moles}{L}$
