Answer:

Mole percent of water in azeotrope is 69%

Explanation:

Clearly, the azeotrope consists of water and perchloric acid.

So, 72% perchloric acid by mass means 100 g of azeotrope contains 72 g of perchloric acid and 28 g of water.

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol and molar mass of perchloric acid = 100.46 g/mol

So, 72 g of perchloric acid = \frac{72}{100.46}mol of perchloric acid = 0.72 mol of perchloric acid

Also, 28 g of water = \frac{28}{18.02}mol of water = 1.6 mol of water

Hence total number of mol in azeotrope = (1.6+0.72) mol = 2.32 mol of azeotrope

So, mole percent of water in azeotrope = [(moles of water)/(total no of moles)]\times 100%

Mole percent of water  = \frac{1.6}{2.32}\times 100 % = 69%

Calculate the density of an object with a mass of 6.147 and a volume of 9.3 (include units)
Olin [163]
Here is the formula for density:
Density (D) = Mass (M) divided by Volume (V)

So you would do D = 6.147 divided by 9.3

As an as answer you would get: 0.6609677419g/cm^3

Additional information:

The formula for volume is:
V = M divided by D


The formula for Mass is:
M = D times V


I hope this helps :)

How many degrees of unsaturation are lost or gained in the base-induced transformation from mito-ph to its photoactive ring-open
Fudgin [204]

Unsaturation (IHD) 2 hydrogen Needed

IHD = [(2n+2) -H]/2
(H: X=1, N=-1, O= zero)

Unsaturation:
Double bonds = 1
Rings = 1
Triple Bonds = 2

The degrees of unsaturation in a molecule are additive — a molecule with one double bond has one degree of unsaturation, a molecule with two double bonds has two degrees of unsaturation, and so forth.
