In the laboratory you dissolve 19.4 g of potassium acetate in a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 125 mL. What
aleksandrvk [35]

The molarity of the potassium acetate solution given the data is 1.584 M

<h3>What is molarity? </h3>

This is defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of solution. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Molarity = mole / Volume

<h3>How to determine the mole of CH₃COOK</h3>
  • Mass of CH₃COOK = 19.4 g
  • Molar mass of CH₃COOK = 98 g/mol
  • Mole of CH₃COOK =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of CH₃COOK = 19.4 / 98

Mole of CH₃COOK = 0.198 mole

<h3>How to determine the molarity of CH₃COOK</h3>
  • Mole of CH₃COOK = 0.198 mole
  • Volume = 125 mL = 125 / 1000 = 0.125 L
  • Molarity of CH₃COOK = ?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity of CH₃COOK = 0.198 / 0.125

Molarity of CH₃COOK = 1.584 M

NEED QUICK ANSWERS ( science)
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explanation:

"Nature does this job through a process called the water cycle. Also known as hydrologic cycle, the water cycle is a phenomenon where water moves through the three phases (gas, liquid and solid) over the four spheres (atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere) and completes a full cycle. The water cycle has many effects: it regulates the temperature of the surroundings. It changes weather and creates rain. It helps in conversion of rocks to soil. It circulates important minerals through the spheres. It also creates the many geographical features present on earth like the ice caps of mountains, icebergs, the rivers and the valleys, lakes, and more. Hence it is quite important to understand and learn the processes of the water cycle."

The following chemical reaction occurs in a basic solution.
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

6 moles of electrons

Explanation:

Let us consider the species NO3− and ClO−. The NO3− is oxidized to NO the oxidation number of nitrogen is decreased from +5 to +2.

The oxidation number of chlorine is increased from +1 to +3. This implies that six electrons were transferred in the balanced reaction equation shown in the question. Hence the answer.

Calculate the amount of water required to prepare 500g of 2.5% solution of sugar.
Snowcat [4.5K]

(i) We start by calculating the mass of sugar in the solution:

mass of sugar = concentration × solution mass

mass of sugar = 2.5/100 × 500 = 12.5 g  

Then now we can calculate the amount of water:

solution mass = mass of sugar + mass of water

mass of water =  solution mass - mass of sugar

mass of water = 500 - 12.5 = 487.5 g

(ii) We use the following reasoning:

If       500 g solution contains 12.5 g sugar

Then    X g solution contains 75 g sugar

X=(500×75)/12.5 = 3000 g solution

Now to get the amount of solution in liters we use density (we assume that is equal to 1):

Density = mass / volume

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 3000 / 1 = 3000 liters of sugar solution

Use bond energies to calculate δhrxn for the reaction. n2(g)+3cl2(g)→2ncl3(g)
Jobisdone [24]
ΔHrxn = ΣδΗ(bond breaking) - ΣδΗ(bond making)

Bond enthalpies,
N ≡ N ⇒ 945 kJ mol⁻¹
N - Cl ⇒ 192 kJ mol⁻¹
Cl - Cl⇒ 242 kJ mol⁻¹

According to the balanced equation,
ΣδΗ(bond breaking)  = N ≡ N x 1 + Cl - Cl x 3
                                  = 945 + 3(242)
                                  = 1671 kJ mol⁻¹
ΣδΗ(bond making)    = N - Cl x 3 x 2
                                 = 192 x 6
                                 = 1152 kJ mol⁻¹

δHrxn = ΣδΗ(bond breaking) - ΣδΗ(bond making)
          = 1671 kJ mol⁻¹ - 1152 kJ mol⁻¹
          = 519 kJ mol⁻¹
