ِ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.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The concentration equilibrium constant is K_c  = 14.39

Explanation:

The chemical equation for this decomposition of ammonia is

                2 NH_3  ↔   N_2 + 3 H_2

The initial concentration of ammonia is mathematically represented a

          [NH_3] =  \frac{n_1}{V_1}  = \frac{29}{75}

          [NH_3] = 0.387  \  M

The initial concentration of nitrogen gas  is mathematically represented a

         [N_2] =  \frac{n_2}{V_2}

         [N_2] =  0.173  \  M

So  looking at the equation

   Initially (Before reaction)

      NH_3 = 0.387 \ M

      N_2  =  0 \  M

      H_2 =  0 \ M

During reaction(this is gotten from the reaction equation )

        NH_3 = -2 x(this implies that it losses two moles of concentration )

         N_2 = + x  (this implies that it gains 1 moles)

         H_2  =  +3 x(this implies that it gains 3 moles)

Note : x denotes concentration

At equilibrium

        NH_3 = 0.387 -2x

       N_2 =  x

        H_2  =  3 x

Now since

     [NH_3] = 0.387  \  M

     x= 0.387  \  M    

H_2  =  3 * 0.173    

H_2  =  0.519 \ M    

NH_3 = 0.387 -2(0.173)

NH_3 = 0.041 \ M

Now the equilibrium constant is

           K_c  =  \frac{[N_2][H_2]^3}{[NH_3]^2}

substituting values

           K_c  =  \frac{(0.173) (0.519)^3}{(0.041)^2}

           K_c  = 14.39

199.5 grams unrefined dark crystalline sugar to cups
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

0.9975 cup  

Step-by-step explanation:

"Unrefined dark crystalline sugar" is what non-chemists call "brown sugar."

200.0 g brown sugar = 1 cup

 199.5 g brown sugar = 199.5× 1/200 .0

 199.5 g brown sugar = 0.9975 cup

A standard measuring cup is not capable of this precision and, furthermore, the mass of brown sugar you can get into a cup depends on how tightly you pack it.

Your Mole Day cake will be fine if you use 1 cup of brown sugar as usual.
