Answer:

A) 10 grams

Explanation:

16 hours = 2 half lives

This means that the number is divided in half twice.

40/2 = 20

20/2 = 10

I hope this helps!! :)

A solution is made containing 14.6g of CH3OH in 185g H2O.1. Calculate the mole fraction of CH3OH.2. Calculate the mass percent o
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

* x_{CH_3OH}=0.0425

* \%m/m_{CH_3OH}=7.31\%

* m=2.46m

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the mole fraction of methanol we use the formula:

x_{CH_3OH}=\frac{n_{CH_3OH}}{n_{CH_3OH}+n_{water}}

Thus, we compute the moles of both water (molar mass 18 g/mol) and methanol (molar mass 32 g/mol):

n_{CH_3OH}}=14.6g*\frac{1mol}{32g}=0.456molCH_3OH \\\\n_{water}}=185g*\frac{1mol}{18g}=10.3molH_2O

Hence, mole fraction is:

x_{CH_3OH}=\frac{0.456mol}{0.456mol+10.3mol}\\\\x_{CH_3OH}=0.0425

Next, mass percent is:

\%m/m_{CH_3OH}=\frac{m_{CH_3OH}}{m_{CH_3OH}+m_{water}}*100\%\\\\\%m/m_{CH_3OH}=\frac{14.6g}{14.6g+185g}*100\%\\\\\%m/m_{CH_3OH}=7.31\%

And the molality, considering the mass of water in kg (0.185 kg):

m=\frac{n_{CH_3OH}}{m_{water}} =\frac{0.456mol}{0.185kg}\\ \\m=2.46m

Regards.

Which combination of reactants would result in a neutralization reaction with sodium nitrate,
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

(B) HNO3 + NaOH

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the production of sodium nitrate a substance having the sodium as a cation should react with another substance having the nitrate anion. Moreover, neutralization reactions are carried out when bases react with acids, such is the case of nitric acid and sodium hydroxide:

NaOH+HNO_3\rightarrow NaNO_3+H_2O

Thus, the answer is (B) HNO3 + NaOH  as the other options involve salts rather than acids or bases as starting reactants.

Regards.

Which of the following would describe a spontaneous process? (Select all that apply.) ΔGreaction < 0 ΔSuniverse < 0 ΔSuniv
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

ΔGreaction < 0

ΔSuniverse > 0

ΔHreaction < 0

Explanation:

A spontaneous process is one which can proceed without additional input of energy releasing free energy in the process and then moves to a lower more stable thermodynamical state.

For an isolated system, a spontaneous process proceeds with an increase in entropy.

The conditions for a spontaneous process at constant temperature and pressure, can be determined using the change in Gibbs free energy, which is given by: ∆G = ∆H - T∆S

Where ∆G is change in free energy; ∆H is change in enthalpy or Heat content; ∆S is change in entropy, T is temperature.

For a process to be spontaneous, the following conditions are necessary:

1. ∆G < 0; must be negative

2. ∆S > 0; there must be an increase in entropy

3. ∆H < 0; enthalpy change must be negative such that heat is lost to the surroundings

The above conditions ensures that ∆G is negative and the process is spontaneous.
