Label 0.15 m cacl2 as isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic in comparison to 0.9% nacl (0.15 m nacl).

1 answer:

3 0

To know if the solutions are isotonic, hypertonic or hypotonic, we have to determine the osmotic pressure of each solution.

P = iMRT
where
i is the number of ions dissociated for strong electrolytes
M is the molarity
R is the universal gas constant
T is the absolute temperature

For 0.15 M CaCl₂, i = 3 (1 for Ca⁺ and 2 for Cl⁻).
P = (3)(0.15)RT= 0.45RT

For 0.15 NaCl, i = 2 (1 for Na⁺ and 1 for Cl⁻).
P = 2(0.15)RT = 0.3RT

Therefore, the P for CaCl₂ is GREATER than the P for NaCl. <em>Hence, the CaCl₂ solution is hypertonic.</em>

- Standard state refers to

yulyashka [42]

Answer: The standard state refers to 1 atm and $25^{o}C$ .

Explanation:

It is known that a chemical/substance can either be present in a solid, liquid or gaseous state.

So, when the phase of a substance like solid, liquid or gas is present at 1 atmosphere pressure and at a temperature of $25^{o}C$ then it known as standard state of substance.

Thus, we can conclude that standard state refers to 1 atm and $25^{o}C$ .

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound $XCl_{2}$ , it can be broken down into $X^{2+}$ and $2Cl^{-}$ . Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.
