ِ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.

Chlorine can bond with fluorine to form CIF. Chlorine can also bond with lithium to form LiCI Which compound will have a greater
Sergio [31]

Answer: ClF will have a greater partial charge.

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a low difference of electronegativities between the atoms, thus resulting in charge difference. Example: ClF

Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms and thus there is no charge difference. Example: F_2

Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electron from a highly electropositive metal to a highly electronegative non metal. The electronegative difference between the elements is high. The charges on cation and anion neutralise each other. Example: LiCl

Thus as ClF will have greater partial charge.
