Answer:

0.80m of KOH

Explanation:

Molality is an unit of concentration defined as the ratio between moles of solute and kg of solvent.

In the problem, the solute is KOH and solvent is water.

Moles of 36g KOH -Molar mass: 56.1g/mol- are:

36g KOH × (1mol / 56.1g) = 0.642 moles of KOH

Now, as density of water is 1g/mL, mass of 800mL of water is:

800mL × (1g / mL) × (1kg / 1000g) = 0.800kg of water

Thus, molality is:

0.642moles of KOH / 0.800kg = 0.80m of KOH

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

56.4 m

Explanation:

volume increases by factor of 6, i.e $\frac{V2}{V1}$ = 6

Initial temperature T1 at bottom of lake = 5.24°C = 278.24 K

Final temperature T2 at top of lake = 18.73°C = 291.73 K

NB to change temperature from °C to K we add 273

Final pressure P2 at the top of the lake = 0.973 atm

Initial pressure P1 at bottom of lake = ?

Using the equation of an ideal gas

$\frac{P1V1}{T1}$ = $\frac{P2V2}{T2}$

P1 = $\frac{P2V2T1}{V1T2}$ = $\frac{0.973*6*278.24}{291.73}$

P1 = 5.57 atm

5.57 atm = 5.57 x 101325 = 564380.25 Pa

Density Ρ of lake = 1.02 g/ $cm^{3}$ = 1020 kg/ $m^{3}$

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 $m/s^{2}$

Pressure at lake bottom = pgd

where d is the depth of the lake

564380.25 = 1020 x 9.81 x d

d = $\frac{564380.25}{10006.2}$ = 56.4 m

Calculate AGrxn for this equation, rounding your

Agata [3.3K]

Answer: $\Delta G_{rxn}=130.19J$

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)$

The expression for Gibbs free energy change is,

$\Delta G_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta G_(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta G_(reactant)]$

$\Delta G_{rxn}=[(n_{CO_2}\times \Delta G_{CO_2})+(n_{CaO}\times \Delta G_{CaO})]-[(n_{CaCO_3}\times \Delta G_{CaCO_3})]$

where,

n = number of moles

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

$\Delta G_{rxn}=[(1\times -394.4)+(1\times -604.17)]-[(1\times -1128.76)]$

$\Delta G_{rxn}=130.19J$

Therefore, the gibbs free energy for this reaction is, +130.19 kJ

Stoichiometry measures any quantitative relationships and is used to determine the amount of products or reactants that are produced in a given reaction.
