Answer:

Option A is correct

Explanation:

Data given:

Steps for preparation of 0.5 M solution = ?

Solution:

Molarity: This the term used for the concentration of the solution. It is the amount of solute in moles dissolve in 1 Liter of solution.

Formula used for Molarity

Molarity = number of moles of solute / 1 L of solution

From the above definition and formula it is clear that we have to know the following things.

no. of moles of f the solute

we also should know that of what concentration we are preparing solution in terms of molarity
The total amount of should be in liter of solution not solvent separately

Now:

As we couldn't weight mole on balance so have to convert moles to grams by using molar mass or mass in grams formula

1 mole = mass in grams / molar mass

so to convert mole to mass rearrange the above equation

mass in grams = 1 mole x molar mass

So,

1 mole of any substance equal to its molar mass

Now, to prepare 0.5 M solution of FeCl₃

First we find molar mass and weigh it

So,

1 mole of FeCl₃ = molar mass of FeCl₃

for 0.5 M

Multiply the molar mass with 0.5

To make 1 L of solution

As we know that molarity is the amount of solution in liter of solution not solvent, so we add the calculated amount of solute in volumetric flask and then add water till the 1 L mark. that is amount of solute plus solvent combined form 1 L of Solution.

So, Option A is correct: Find the molar mass of FeCl3 and multiply by 0.5 to find the amount. Add this amount in a volumetric flask and add water till the 1 L mark

It would be most similar to neon. it wouldn’t be sulfur because that’s in the same group as oxygen and has the same number of electrons. and carbon has less than that so the only one that makes sense is neon

To answer this question, you will need to write the balanced equation and set up a BCA table. Using appropriate rounding rules,

Elenna [48]

Water decomposes when electrolyzed to produce hydrogen and oxygen gas. If 2.5 grams of water were decomposed 1.04 grams of oxygen will be formed.

BCA table:

2 $H_{2}$ O ⇒ $H_{2}$ + $O_{2}$

B 0.13 0 + 0

C -0.13 0.065 + 0.065

A 0 0.065

Explanation:

Balanced equation for water decomposition into hydrogen and oxygen gases

2 $H_{2}$ O ⇒ $H_{2}$ + $O_{2}$

B 0.13 0 + 0

C -0.13 0.065 + 0.065

A 0 0.065

Number of moles of water = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

mass = 2.5 grams

atomic mass= 18 grams

number of moles can be known by putting the values in the formula,

n = $\frac{2.5}{18}$

= 0.13 moles

2 moles of water gives one mole of oxygen on decomposition

so, 0.13 moles of water will give x moles of oxygen on decompsition

$\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{x}{0.13}$

x = 0.065 moles of oxygen will be formed.

moles to gram will be calculated as

mass =number of moles x atomic mass

= 0.065 x 16

= 1.04 grams of oxygen.

A compound is determined to have the empirical formula C2OH4. If the molar mass of the compound is 132 g/mol, determine the mole

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: The molecular formula will be $C_6O_3H_{12}$

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Empirical weight of $C_2OH_{4}$ is $12\times 2+16\times 1+1\times 4=44g$

Molecular mass of compound is = 132 g

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{132}{44}=3$

The molecular formula will be= $3\times C_2OH_4=C_6O_3H_{12}$

mezya [45]

One can tell by looking at the titration curve of an acid and base whether the acid used is a strong acid or a weak acid. For a titration of a strong acid and a strong base, the pH at the equivalence point will be neutral, that is, pH 7. If the titration involves a weak acid and a strong base, the pH at the equivalence point will not be neutral, the solution will be basic at the equivalence point.
