Answer - The right answer for the given question is option c, 0.4

Explanation- As we know when a solution’s mole divides the solute’s mole the quotient (or the answer) we get is the mole fraction of substance.

Since in the question’s data solute, given as vinegar and the moles of vinegar are 2 and the data shows the solution is given as water and the moles of water is given as 3. Now we know mole fraction can be calculated by dividing the two. So by dividing we can get the result as 0.4.

Answer:

C. 0.4.

Explanation:

<em>∵ mole fraction of acetic acid (X acetic acid) = (no. of moles acetic acid)/(total no. of moles) = (no. of moles acetic acid)/(no. of moles of acetic acid + no. of moles of water).</em>

<em></em>

- no. of moles of acetic acid = 2, no. of moles of water = 3.

- Total no. of moles = no. of moles of acetic acid + no. of moles of water = 2 + 3 = 5.

<em>∴ mole fraction of acetic acid (X acetic acid) = (no. of moles acetic acid)/(total no. of moles) =</em> (2)/(5)<em> = 0.4.</em>

Select all that apply to physical and chemical properties ?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

•   Chemical properties can only be observed during a chemical reaction:

Chemical properties can only be established by changing a substance's chemical identity, and chemical properties are different from physical properties, which can be observed by viewing or touching a sample. The internal qualities of a substance must be altered to determine its chemical properties.

Examples:

Some common chemical properties are heat of combustion, enthalpy of formation, toxicity,

and flammability, each of which will be covered in this lesson.

•   Rusting of iron is the chemical reaction not physical because:

The rusting of iron is a chemical change because it is two substances reacting together to make a

new substance. When iron rusts, iron molecules react with oxygen molecules to make a compound

called iron oxide. Rusting would only be a physical change if iron molecules remained pure iron

throughout the process.

The equation for this reaction is: 4Fe+ 3O2 → 2Fe2O

•   Melting and boiling points are physical properties:

Yes melting and boiling points are the physical properties.  

Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter. Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter.  

Physical properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity, and many others.

•   Mass and volume are chemical properties:

No mass and volume are the extensive physical properties of matter

All properties of matter are either physical or chemical properties and physical properties are either intensive or extensive.

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured.

Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present.

Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance’s chemical identity.

•   Various components of a mixture do not combine chemically:

When various components of a mixture do not combine chemically it is a Combination of substances in which individual components do not combine chemically but retain their individual properties. Mixture in which one or more substances are distributed evenly in another substance.

When various components combine chemically then form chemical compounds that are often divided into two categories. Metals often react with nonmetals to form ionic compounds. These compounds are composed of positive and negative ions formed by adding or subtracting electrons from neutral atoms and molecules

The chemist discovers a more efficient catalyst that can produce ethyl butyrate with a 78.0 % yield. How many grams would be pro
zepelin [54]

7.66g of ethyl butyrate is produced.

The reaction is

CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH + CH₃CH₂OH ----> CH₃CH₂CH₂COOCH₂CH₃

  • The molar mass of butanoic acid is 88.11g/mol
  • We have 7.45g of butanoic acid
  • The moles of butanoic acid we have is 7.45/88.11 = 0.0845 mol
  • If the yield is 100%,  1 mole of butanoic acid gives 1 mole of ethyl butyrate
  • But the reaction yield is 78%
  • 1 mole of butanoic acid gives 0.78 mole of ethyl butyrate

From 0.0845 mol of butanoic acid we get 0.78 x 0.0845 = 0.66 mol of ethyl butyrate.

The molar mass of ethyl butyrate is 116.16g/mol

So 0.66 x 116.16 = 7.66g

7.66g of ethyl butyrate is produced.

You are preparing some solutions for your instructor and have been asked to prepare 3.00 L of a 0.250M sodium hydroxide solution
grigory [225]

Answer:

C. 30.0 g NaOH and add water until the final solution has a volume of 3.00 L.

Explanation:

Molarity of a substance , is the number of moles present in a liter of solution .

M = n / V

M = molarity

V = volume of solution in liter ,

n = moles of solute ,

from the question ,

M =  0.250M

V  = 3.00 L

M = n / V

n = M * v

n = 0.250M * 3.00 L = 0.75 mol

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,

Hence ,

n = w / m

n = moles ,

w = given mass ,

m = molecular mass .

From the question ,

n = 0.75 mol NaOH

m = molecular mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

n = w / m

w = n * m

w = 0.75 mol * 40 g/mol = 30.0 g

Hence , by using 30.0 g of NaOH and dissolving it to make up the volume to 3 L , a solution of 0.250 M can be prepared .
