Describe how a mole ratio is correctly expressed when it is used to solve a stoichiometry problem

1 answer:

3 0

Basically stoichiometry is the measurement of elements, that is, the study of chemical quantities consumed or produced in a chemical reaction. When we are performing it we are using a special chemical counting unit: the mole, a unit of measurement, and one mole of a substance contains 6.022 * 10^23 particles. Now mole ratio is defined as the ratio of moles of one substance to the moles of another substance in a balanced equation. If we are looking for the mole ratio between two substances, we need to look at the balanced equations for the coefficients in front of the substances you are interested in.
This should be your guiding mantra for doing stoichiometry problems!

When 15.3 g of sodium nitrate, NaNO3,was dissolved in water in a calorimeter, the temperature fell from 25.00oC to 21.56oC. If t

Answer:

20.468 kilo Joules is the enthalpy change when one mole of sodium nitrate dissolves.

Explanation:

Heat lost by solution ad calorimeter = Q

Heat capacity of solution ad calorimeter = C = 1071 J/°C

Change in temperature = ΔT = 21.56°C - 25.00°C = -3.44°C

$Q=C\times Delta T$

$Q=1071 J/^oC\times (-3.44^oC)=-3,684.24 J$

Heat gained by sodium nitrate = -Q = -(-3,684.24 J)=3,684.24 J

Moles of sodium nitrate = $\frac{15.3 g}{85 g/mol}=0.18 mol$

When 0.18 mole of sodium nitrate was dissolved in water 3,684.24 joulesof heat was absorbed by it.

Then heat absorbed by 1 mole of sodium nitrate :

$\frac{3,684.24 J}{0.18}=20,468 J=20.468 kJ$

1 J = 0.001 kJ

20.468 kilo Joules is the enthalpy change when one mole of sodium nitrate dissolves.

Suppose a solution was too concentrated for an accurate reading with the spectrophotometer. The concentrated solution was dilute

yan [13]

Using the law of dilution:

initial Molarity = 3.5x10⁻⁶ M

Initial volume = 4.00 mL

final Molarity = ??

final volume = 1.00 mL

Therefore:

Mi x Vi = Mf x Vf

(3.5x10⁻⁶) x 4.00 = Mf x 1.00

1.4x10⁻⁵ = Mf x 1.00

Mf = 1.4x10⁻⁵ / 1.00 =

1.4x10⁻⁵ M

Why is blood considered to be a suspension?

horrorfan [7]

Because there are several kind of cells in the blood, like red blood cell and white blood cell. They flow in the blood and will not precipitate, So it is called suspension.
