Answer:

1.89g of HNO3

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass of water = 31.5 g

Molality of HNO3 = 0.950 m

Mass of HNO3 =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of HNO3 in the solution.

Mass of water = 31.5 g = 31.5/1000 = 0.0315 Kg

Molality of HNO3 = 0.950 m

Number of mole of HNO3 =..?

Molality is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit kilogram of solvent (water) i.e

Molality = mole /kg of water

With the above formula, the mole of HNO3 can be obtained as follow:

Molality = mole /kg of water

0.950 = mole of HNO3 /0.0315

Cross multiply

Mole of HNO3 = 0.950 x 0.0315

Mole of HNO3 = 0.03 mole

Finally, we shall convert 0.03 mole of HNO3 to grams. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of HNO3 = 1 + 14 + (16x3) = 63g/mol

Mole of HNO3 = 0.03 mole

Mass of HNO3 =..?

Mole = mass /molar mass

0.03 = mass of HNO3 /63

Cross multiply

Mass of HNO3 = 0.03 x 63

Mass of HNO3 = 1.89g

Therefore, 1.89g of HNO3 is needed to prepare the solution.

Which compound (s) has(have) a molecular ion at 117 and a peak at 1720 cm-1 in its IR spectrum?

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Ethyl Acetate with a chemical configuration of : CH3CO2CH2CH3

Explanation:

Ethyl Acetate has a density of 902 kg/m³, molar mass of 88.11 g/mol and posses a boiling point of 77.1 °C.

It is to be understood that ethyl acetate is the ester of ethanol and it is mostly produced in mass production and most especially used in the production of domestic materials especially materials like glue, efostics and dissolving agent. This is a highly toxic and flammable substance. However colorless and possess a sweet smell, it can be highly poisonous when ingested.

To gain an idea as to how many atoms are in a gram or so of copper, use the larger balance

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must understand the relationship between mass of a substance and the number of atoms.

Atoms are the smallest indivisible particles of any matter. A substance can be made up of several number of atoms in their space.

The mass of any substance is a function of the amount of atoms its contains.

The mass of a substance is related in chemistry to the amount of atoms its contains using the parameter called the number of moles.

A mole is the amount of substance that contains the Avogadro's number of particles. This number is 6.02 x 10²³ particles. The particles here can be protons, neutrons, electrons, atoms e.t.c.

Now,

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of copper = 63.6g/mole

Number of moles = $\frac{2}{63.6}$ = 0.03mole

Since 1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³atoms

0.03 mole of copper will contain 0.03 x 6.02 x 10²³atoms

= 1.89 x 10²² atoms

He needs to add 1.89 x 10²² atoms to make 2g of the sample.
