<h2>Answer: <u><em>Hope this helps</em></u></h2>

Explanation:

<h3><u><em>Why do some substances dissolve in water and others don't? It has to do with the structure of the water molecule. Oxygen has a greater attraction for electrons, so the shared electrons (bonding electrons) spend more time close to oxygen then to either of the hydrogens.</em></u></h3>

⦁answer Calculate the density in g/L of 478 mL of krypton at 47° C and 671 mm Hg. ⦁ Determine the molar mass of a gas that has a
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

- Krypton: density= 2.8 g/L

- Molar Mass= 63.99 g/mol

- Mass of O₂= 15.29 g

Explanation:

The general equation of an ideal gas is the folllowing:

P x V = n x R x T

Where: P= pressure (in atm), V= volume; n= number of moles, R= gas constant (0,082 L.atm/K.mol) and T= temperature (in K).

<u>For krypton</u>:

P= 671 mmHg = 0,882 atm

V= 478 ml x 1000 ml/1 L= 0,478 L

T= 47ºC= 320 K

MM= 83.8 g/mol (from Periodic Table, Kr is an inert gas so it is a monoatomic gas)

P x V = n x R x T

Since the number of moles of a compound can be calculated by dividing the mass of compound (m) into its molar mass (MM):

n= m/MM

We can replace the expression in the first equation to obtain:

P x V= \frac{m}{MM} x R x T

m/V= \frac{P x MM}{R x T}

Density (d) is equal to the mass per volume (m/V), so we can directly calculate the density:

d= m/V= \frac{P x MM}{R x T}=

           = (0.882 atm x 83.8 g/mol)/(0.082 L.atm/K.mol x 320 K)

           = 2.81 g/L

<u>For the gas:</u>

d= 2.18 g/L

T= 66ºC= 339 K

P= 720 mmHg= 0.947 atm

d= \frac{P x MM}{R x T}

⇒MM = \frac{dx R x T}{P}

         = (2.18 g/L x 0.082 L.atm/K.mol x 339 K)/(0.947 atm)

         = 63.99 g/mol ≅ 64 g/mol

<u>For the O₂</u>:

V= 5.60 L

P= 1.75 atm

T= 250 K

MM(O₂) = 2 x Atomic Mass O= 2 x 16 g/mol= 32 g/mol

We can use the second equation:

P x V= \frac{m}{MM} x R x T

⇒  m = \frac{P x V x MM}{R x T}= (1.75 atm x 5.6 L x 32 g/mol)/(0.082 L.atm/K.mol x 250 K)

                         = 15.29 g≅ 16 g

In the laboratory you dissolve 22.0 g of nickel(II) nitrate in a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 125
Ahat [919]

Answer:

<u>1.364 M</u>.

Explanation:

Molarity formula: M= n/v, where n is moles of solute, and v is liters of solution.

Now, we need to convert the grams of nickel to moles and the volume of water to liters.

125mL/1000= 0.125 L.

To convert nickel grams to moles, we need to take a look at it's chemical formula, which is:

Ni(NO_{3} )_{2}

Now we count how many molecules of each element we have:

Ni= 1

N= 2

O= 6

Calculate the weight (g) of each element (the values of g/mol can be found on the periodic table and they may vary slightly between one table and the other):

Ni: (1) (58.6934)= 58.6934

N= (2) (14.007)= 28.014

O= (6) (15.999)= 95.994

Sum all the values to obtain the total weight of 1 mole of this compound:

58.6934+28.014+95.994= 129(g/mole)

Now that we know the that 129 grams equal 1 mole of nickel(II) nitrate, we can convert the 22.0 g to moles:

129g ------- 1 mole

22.0g ----- x

x= (22*1)/129= 0.1705 moles.

Now, we have all the values needed to calculate the molarity of this solution. All we have to do is substitute the values in the formula:

M= (0.1705 moles) / (0.125 L)= <u>1.364 M</u>.

What will happen to the temperature<br> when KCI is added to water?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

As potassium chloride (KCl) dissolves in water, the ions are hydrated. ... Ion-dipole forces attract the positive (hydrogen) end of the polar water molecules to the negative chloride ions at the surface of the solid, and they attract the negative (oxygen) ends to the positive potassium ions.

A lightbulb filled with argon gas has a volume of 75 mL at STP. How many moles of argon gas does the lightbulb contain?
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

0.00335 moles

Explanation:

From the question, Using

PV = nRT................... Equation 1

Where P = pressure, V = Volume, n = number of moles of argon gas, R = Molar  gas constant, T = Temperature.

make n the subject of the equation

n = PV/RT............... Equation 2

Given: P = 1 atm (standard pressure), T = 273 K (standard temperature), V = 75 mL = 0.075 dm³

Constant: R = 0.082 atm·dm³/K·mol

Substitute into equation 2

n = (1×0.075)/(273×0.082)

n = 0.075/22.386

n = 0.00335 moles
