The correct answer is C) It appears that ants live in colonies. Hope this helps.
Answer:
The formula for molality is m = moles of solute / kilograms of solvent. In problem solving involving molality, we sometimes need to use additional formulas to get to the final answer. One formula we need to be aware of is the formula for density, which is d = m / v, where d is density, m is mass and v is volume
Explanation:
it is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution in terms of amount of substance in a specified amount of mass of the solvent. This contrasts with the definition of molarity which is based on a specified volume of solution.
Based on experiment 1:
Mass of Hg = 1.00 g
Mass of sulfide = 1.16 g
Mass of sulfur = 1.16 - 1.00 = 0.16 g
# moles of Hg = 1 g/200 gmol-1 = 0.005 moles
# moles of S = 0.16/32 gmol-1 = 0.005 moles
The Hg:S ratio is 1:1, hence the sulfide is HgS
Based on experiment 2:
Mass of Hg taken = 1.56 g
# moles of Hg = 1.56/200 = 0.0078
Mass of S taken = 1.02 g
# moles of S = 1.02/32 = 0.0319
Hence the limiting reagent is Hg
# moles of Hg reacted = # moles of HgS formed = 0.0078 moles
Molar mass of HgS = 232 g/mol
Therefore, mass of HgS formed = 0.0078 * 232 = 1.809 g = 1.81 g
It means there is a lot of the same thing and not many others
