ِAnswer:

1- The molarity of HCOOH = 9.515 M.

2- The mole fraction of HCOOH = 0.18.

Explanation:

<em>1- The molarity of HCOOH:</em>

We can calculate the molarity of HCOOH using the relation:

M = (10pd)/molar mass.

p is the percent by mass of HCOOH = 35.9 %.

d is the specific gravity of HCOOH = 1.22 g/cm³.

Molar mass of HCOOH = 46.03 g/mol.

∴ M = (10pd)/molar mass = (10)(35.9 %)(1.22 gcm³) / (46.03 g/mol) = 9.515 M.

<em>2- The mole fraction of HCOOH:</em>

We can suppose that we have a 100 g solution, that contains 35.9 g of HCOOH and 64.1 g of water.

<em>The mole fraction of HCOOH = (no. of moles of HCOOH) / (no. of moles of HCOOH + no, of moles of water).</em>

no. of moles of HCOOH = mass / molar mass = (35.9 g)/(46.03 g/mol) = 0.78 mol.

no. of moles of water = mass / molar mass = (64.1 g)/(18.0 g/mol) = 3.56 mol.

The mole fraction of HCOOH = (no. of moles of HCOOH) / (no. of moles of HCOOH + no, of moles of water) = (0.78 mol) / (0.78 mol + 3.56 mol) = 0.18.

Explanation:

Trust me. If its wrong, comment on this, don't delete it. If someone else answers with the wrong question than other students might get the answer wrong. So if its right, say that it is, if its wrong, tell others what the real answer is.

What is the mass in grams of ba(io3)2 can be dissolved in 500 ml of water at 25 degrees celcius?

lesya [120]

The mass of Ba(IO3)2 that can be dissolved in 500 ml of water at 25 degrees celcius is 2.82 g

<h3>What mass of Ba(IO3)2 can be dissolved in 500 ml of water at 25 degrees celcius?</h3>

The Ksp of Ba(IO3)2 = 1.57 × 10^-9

Molar mass of Ba(IO3)2 = 487 g/mol?

Dissociation of Ba(IO3)2 produces 3 moles of ions as follows:

$Ba(IO_{3})_{2} \leftrightharpoons Ba^{2+} + 2\:IO_{3}^{-}$
