<u>Answer:</u> The molality of NaOH in the solution is 0.551 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of solution = 1.15 g/mL

Volume of solution = 1 L = 1000 mL     (Conversion factor:  1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.15 g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{1000mL}\\\\\text{Mass of solution}=(1.15g/mL\times 1000mL)=1150g

We are given:

Mass of solute (NaOH) = 24.8 grams

Mass of solution = 1150 grams

Mass of solvent = Mass of solution - mass of solute = [1150 - 24.8] g = 1125.2 g

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}

Where,

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (NaOH) = 24.8 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (NaOH) = 40 g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent = 1125.2 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molality of }NaOH=\frac{24.8\times 1000}{40\times 1125.2}\\\\\text{Molality of }NaOH=0.551m

Hence, the molality of NaOH in the solution is 0.551 m

The percent composition of carbon in C6H12O6 is:
nata0808 [166]
To calculate percent composition, you first need to find the molar mass of C (carbon), H (hydrogen) and O (oxygen).
C is 12.01
H is 1.00
O is 16

Then multiply each by the number of atoms of each element in the formula (the number that comes after each element in the equation for example C6 means 6 carbon atoms.

C: 12.01 x 6= 72.06
H: 1x12= 12
O: 16x6= 96

Then add them up.
72.06+ 12+ 96= 180.06

Now find the percent composition of carbon.

72.06/ 180.06 x 100= 40.01%

So the answer is C 40%.

. Consider the following half-reactions:
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

d. Fe(s) and Al(s)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In the redox reaction, it is also known  

Reducing agents are substances that experience oxidation  

Oxidizing agents are substances that experience reduction

The metal activity series is expressed in voltaic series  

<em>Li-K-Ba-Ca-Na-Mg-Al-Mn- (H2O) -Zn-Cr-Fe-Cd-Co-Ni-Sn-Pb- (H) -Cu-Hg-Ag-Pt-Au  </em>

The more to the left, the metal is more reactive (easily release electrons) and the stronger reducing agent  

The more to the right, the metal is less reactive (harder to release electrons) and the stronger oxidizing agent

So that the metal located on the left can push the metal on the right in the redox reaction  

The electrodes which are easier to reduce than hydrogen (H), have E cells = +

The electrodes which are easier to oxidize than hydrogen have a sign E cell = -

So the above metals or metal ions will reduce Pb²⁺ (aq) will be located to the left of the Pb in the voltaic series or which have a more negative E cell value (greater reduction power)

The metal  : d. Fe(s) and Al(s)
