ِ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.

Separate a mixture of sand, common salt, copper pieces and iron fillings. Also measure the amount of common salt in the mixture.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question seeks to test the knowledge of separation techniques.

From the narration in the question, the first separation to be done is the removal of Iron fillings by the use of magnet (magnetic separation). Since Iron is magnetic, the iron fillings will be attracted by the magnet hence removing the iron fillings from the mixture.

The second constituent to be removed will be the copper pieces by the use of a sieve (sieving). Copper pieces have relatively larger sizes than sand and common salt, hence a sieve (which separates particles based on size) can be used to remove the copper pieces from the mixture.

What will be left in the mixture after the processes above will be salt and water. This mixture will have to be dissolved in water; the salt will dissolve in water while the sand will not. After which, filtration will be done to remove the sand which will be collected on the filter paper as filtride and the salt solution will pass through the filter paper as filtrate.

The salt solution can then be evaporated to dryness to retrieve the solid salt from the solution.

The amount of salt in the mixture can then be measured using a weighing balance.

Some of safety measures to be taken during the course of this experiment includes performing the experiment in an airtight and controlled environment. Lab coat and hand gloves should be worn during the course of the experiment. The evaporation to dryness should not be done close to an inflammable material/substance

A gas sample enclosed in a rigid metal container at room temperature (20.0∘C∘C) has an absolute pressure p1p1p_1. The container
choli [55]

Answer: p2 = 1.06p1

Explanation: pressure increases with temperature increase.

According to Gass law

P1/T1 = P2/T2

T1 = 20°c = 20 +273 = 293k

T2 = 40°c = 40 +373 = 313k

Therefore

P2 = P1T2/T1 = 313P2/293

P2 = 1.06P1
