Answer: False

Explanation:

Binary Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two components called as solute and solvent.

Solute is the component which is present in smaller proportion and is solid for solid in liquid solution and solvent is the component which is present in larger proportion and is liquid for solid in liquid solution.

For example: NaCl in water will have NaCl as solute and will be lesser in amount and water will be solvent and will be greater in amount.

Thus the statement that in a solution the solute is the substance present in the greatest amount is false.

Solute is something that is being dissolved { ex : sugar , salt}

Solvent is something that has ability to dissolve things { ex : water}

The Density of pure carbon in Diamond form is 3.52 g/cm^3. How many cubic inches would 23.7 moles of pure diamond occupy?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer : The volume of pure diamond is $0.493inch^3$

Explanation : Given,

Density of pure carbon in diamond = $3.52g/cm^3$

Moles of pure diamond = 23.7 moles

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

First we have to calculate the mass of carbon or pure diamond.

$\text{ Mass of carbon}=\text{ Moles of carbon}\times \text{ Molar mass of carbon}$

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

$\text{ Mass of carbon}=(23.7moles)\times (12g/mole)=284.4g$

Now we have to calculate the volume of carbon or pure diamond.

Formula used:

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Now putting all the given values in this formula, we get:

$3.52g/cm^3=\frac{284.4g}{Volume}$

Volume = $80.8cm^3$

As we know that:

$1cm^3=0.061inch^3$

So,

Volume = $0.061\times 80.8inch^3$

Volume = $0.493inch^3$

Therefore, the volume of pure diamond is $0.493inch^3$
