im pretty sure its the second one
Answer:
The mass of water to be added is 2 pounds
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The mass of the given solution = 2 pounds
The concentration of the given solution = 30%
The desired concentration of the solution = 15%
The mass, m of the acetic acid in the given solution = 30% × 2 pounds
m = 30/100 × 2 pounds = 0.6 pounds
To make a 15% acetic acid solution of acetic acid, the mass X of the required volume, is given as follows;
15% of X = 0.6 pounds
15/100 × X = 3/20 × 0.6 pounds
∴ The mass of the solution required X = 0.6 × 20/3 = 4 pounds
The mass of the solution that will contain 0.6 pounds of acetic acid giving a 15% acetic acid solution is 4 pounds
Therefore, the mass of water to be added to the original solution to make the a 15% acetic acid solution is 2 pounds.
Answer:
Explanation:
Your strategy here will be to
use the chemical formula of carbon dioxide to find the number of molecules of
CO
2
that would contain that many atoms of oxygen
use Avogadro's constant to convert the number of molecules to moles of carbon dioxide
use the molar mass of carbon dioxide to convert the moles to grams
So, you know that one molecule of carbon dioxide contains
one atom of carbon,
1

C
two atoms of oxygen,
2
×
O
This means that the given number of atoms of oxygen would correspond to

Now, one mole of any molecular substance contains exactly

molecules of that substance -- this is known as Avogadro's constant.
In your case, the sample of carbon dioxide molecules contains

Finally, carbon dioxide has a molar mass of

The answer is rounded to two sig figs, the number of sig figs you have for the number of atoms of oxygen present in the sample.
