Answer:

0.5188 M or 0.5188 mol/L

Explanation:

Concentration is calculated as <u>molarity</u>, which is the number of moles per litre.

***Molarity is represented by either "M" or "c" depending on your teacher. I will use "c".

The formula for molarity is:

c = \frac{n}{V}

n = moles (unit mol)

V = volume (unit L)

<u>Find the molar mass (M) of potassium hydroxide.</u>

M_{KOH} = \frac{39.098 g}{mol}+\frac{16.000 g}{mol}+\frac{1.008 g}{mol}

M_{KOH} = 56.106 \frac{g}{mol}

<u>Calculate the moles of potassium hydroxide.</u>

n_{KOH} = \frac{14.555 g}{1}*\frac{1mol}{56.106g}

n_{KOH} = 0.25941(9)mol

Carry one insignificant figure (shown in brackets).

<u>Convert the volume of water to litres.</u>

V = \frac{500.0mL}{1}*\frac{1L}{1000mL}

V = 0.5000L

Here, carrying an insignificant figure doesn't change the value.

<u>Calculate the concentration.</u>

c = \frac{n}{V}

c = \frac{0.25941(9)mol}{0.5000 L}              

c = 0.5188(3) \frac{mol}{L}         <= Keep an insignificant figure for rounding

c = 0.5188 \frac{mol}{L}              <= Rounded up

c = 0.5188M               <= You use the unit "M" instead of "mol/L"

The concentration of this standard solution is 0.5188 M.

What kinds of features would you expect to see at the edges of two plates, like these that are moving apart at their boundary?
Harman [31]
The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways in relation to each other. Hope this helps! :D

Which of the following BEST describes the process of evolution by natural selection?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B)  a gradual change of the traits of a species over time</em>

Explanation:

The theory of natural selection explains the gradual changes which occur in the population of a species over time. According to natural selection, those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment survive and pass on their traits to their offsprings. As a result, the traits of a species tend to change over time through the process of evolution. Evolutionary changes do not occur rapidly, instead, they can take many years to occur.

When heated to 150 ºC, CuSO4.5 H2O loses its water of hydration as gaseous H2O. A 2.50 g sample of the compound is placed in a s
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Water pressure 0.5 atm

Total Pressure= 2.27  atm

Explanation:

To answer this problem, one has to realize that there are two processes that increase the temperature of the sealed vessel.

First, the dry air in the sealed vessel will be heated which will cause its pressure to increase and it can be determined by the equation:

P₁ x T₂   = P₂ x T₁  ∴  P₂ =  P₁ x T₂ / T₁

For the second process, we have an amount of n moles of water which will be released when the copper sulfate is heated. In this case, to determine the value of the the water gas we will use the gas law:

   PV = nRT  ∴ P =  nRT/V

n will we calculated from the quantity of sample.

2.50 g  CuSo₄ 5H₂O x  1 mol/ 249.69 g = 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

the amount water of hydration is

= 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O * 5 mol H₂O / 1 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

= 0.05 mo H₂O

pressure of dry air at the final temperature,

P₂ = 1 atm x 500 K/ 300 K = 1.67 atm

Pressure of water :

P (H₂O) 0.05 mol x 0.08206 Latm/kmol x 500 K/ 4 L = 0.5 atm

∴ Total Pressure =  1.67 atm

H2O Pressure = 0.5 atm
