BEST GETS BRAINLIEST!!

Gee.  I'll have to guess at what's "commonly thought".

One thing is the scale.  Nobody has an accurate picture of the scale in
his head, because we never see a true-scale drawing.  THAT's because
it's almost impossible to draw one on paper.

Example:
Shrink the solar system and everything in it so that the Sun
is the size of a quarter (the 25¢ coin).
Then:
-- The Earth is in orbit around the sun, 8.6 feet from it. 
That's close enough that you might think you could find the
shrunken Earth.  Unfortunately, it's only 0.009 inch in diameter.

-- The shrunken Jupiter is a 'huge' gas giant almost 0.1 inch in diameter.
It's orbiting the sun, about 45 feet away from it.

-- The shrunken Uranus is another gas giant, about 0.035 inch in diameter.
It's orbiting the sun, about 165 feet away from it.

-- The nearest star outside of the solar system is 441 MILES away !
On the same shrunken scale !
And there's NOTHING between here and there !  

I think that's the biggest point to make about the REAL solar system ...
its utter emptiness.  With the sun reduced to something you can hold
in your hand, the planets are the size of grains of sand, with hundreds
of feet of nothingness between them.

Same for its mass:  The solar system is approximately nothing but a star.
That's it.  A star, with some dust and some gas around it, and here and there
in the neighborhood a microscopic pebble or a chip of mineral.  But mostly
it's nothing but a star ... if you went around and gathered up all that other
rubbish in the same bag and called it a part of the same solar system, the
sun would still have more than 99% of the total mass, and the bag would
hold less than 1% of it.

Book ... It's getting late, Hillary's fading, and that's all I can think of.
I hope this much is some help.

What is the molar out of a solution that contains 33.5g of CaCl2 in 600.0mL of water
omeli [17]

Answer:

Here's what I got.

Explanation:

Interestingly enough, I'm not getting

0.0341% w/v

either. Here's why.

Start by calculating the percent composition of chlorine,

Cl

, in calcium chloride, This will help you calculate the mass of chloride anions,

Cl

−

, present in your sample.

To do that, use the molar mass of calcium chloride, the molar mass of elemental chlorine, and the fact that

1

mole of calcium chloride contains

2

moles of chlorine atoms.

2

×

35.453

g mol

−

1

110.98

g mol

−

1

⋅

100

%

=

63.89% Cl

This means that for every

100 g

of calcium chloride, you get

63.89 g

of chlorine.

As you know, the mass of an ion is approximately equal to the mass of the neutral atom, so you can say that for every

100 g

of calcium chloride, you get

63.89 g

of chloride anions,

Cl

−

.

This implies that your sample contains

0.543

g CaCl

2

⋅

63.89 g Cl

−

100

g CaCl

2

=

0.3469 g Cl

−

Now, in order to find the mass by volume percent concentration of chloride anions in the resulting solution, you must determine the mass of chloride anions present in

100 mL

of this solution.

Since you know that

500 mL

of solution contain

0.3469 g

of chloride anions, you can say that

100 mL

of solution will contain

100

mL solution

⋅

0.3469 g Cl

−

500

mL solution

=

0.06938 g Cl

−

Therefore, you can say that the mass by volume percent concentration of chloride anions will be

% m/v = 0.069% Cl

−

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

I'll leave the answer rounded to two sig figs, but keep in mind that you have one significant figure for the volume of the solution.

.

ALTERNATIVE APPROACH

Alternatively, you can start by calculating the number of moles of calcium chloride present in your sample

0.543

g

⋅

1 mole CaCl

2

110.98

g

=

0.004893 moles CaCl

2

To find the molarity of this solution, calculate the number of moles of calcium chloride present in

1 L

=

10

3

mL

of solution by using the fact that you have

0.004893

moles present in

500 mL

of solution.

10

3

mL solution

⋅

0.004893 moles CaCl

2

500

mL solution

=

0.009786 moles CaCl

2

You can thus say your solution has

[

CaCl

2

]

=

0.009786 mol L

−

1

Since every mole of calcium chloride delivers

2

moles of chloride anions to the solution, you can say that you have

[

Cl

−

]

=

2

⋅

0.009786 mol L

−

1

[

Cl

−

]

=

0.01957 mol L

−

This implies that

100 mL

of this solution will contain

100

mL solution

⋅

0.01957 moles Cl

−

10

3

mL solution

=

0.001957 moles Cl

−

Finally, to convert this to grams, use the molar mass of elemental chlorine

0.001957

moles Cl

−

⋅

35.453 g

1

mole Cl

−

=

0.06938 g Cl

−

Once again, you have

% m/v = 0.069% Cl

−

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

In reference to the explanation you provided, you have

0.341 g L

−

1

=

0.0341 g/100 mL

=

0.0341% m/v

because you have

1 L

=

10

3

mL

.

However, this solution does not contain

0.341 g

of chloride anions in

1 L

. Using

[

Cl

−

]

=

0.01957 mol L

−

1

you have

n

=

c

⋅

V

so

n

=

0.01957 mol

⋅

10

−

3

mL

−

1

⋅

500

mL

n

=

0.009785 moles

This is how many moles of chloride anions you have in

500 mL

of solution. Consequently,

100 mL

of solution will contain

100

mL solution

⋅

0.009785 moles Cl

−

500

mL solution

=

0.001957 moles Cl

−

So once again, you have

0.06938 g

of chloride anions in

100 mL

of solution, the equivalent of

0.069% m/v

.

Anyone think they can help me with this one?
BARSIC [14]
To name this Alkyne, simply count from the direction that will give the lowest starting number to appear at the beginning of the carbon triple bond.

If you were to count from the top of the chain, the position of the carbon next to the triple bond would be 4. Yet if you count from the bottom chain going left to right and above the chain, the position of the carbon next to the triple bond would be 3.

Then identify the groups that are connected off the parent chain, here we have a methyl group on carbon 2.

Thus the name would be 2 - methyl - 3 - heptyne. I believe.
