Mass number = No. of protons + No. of neutrons

= 5 + 7

= 12 u.

Thus, the answer is 12 u.

Brass is a substitutional alloy consisting of a solution of copper and zinc. A particular sample of red brass consisting of 79.0

Bas_tet [7]

Answer: The molality and molarity of zinc in the solution is 4.07 m and 28.11 M respectively.

Explanation:

Solute is the substance which is present in smaller proportion in a mixture and solvent is the substance which is present in larger proportion in a mixture.

We are given:

(m/m) % of Cu = 79 %

This means that 79 g of copper is present in 100 grams of alloy.

(m/m) % of Zn = 21 %

This means that 21 g of zinc is present in 100 grams of alloy.

As, zinc is present in smaller proportion. So, it is solute and copper is the solvent.

Calculating molality of zinc:

To calculate molality of the zinc, we use the equation:

$Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}$

where,

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (Zinc ) = 21 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (Zinc) = 65.3 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (copper) = 79 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molality of Zinc}=\frac{21\times 1000}{65.3\times 79}\\\\\text{Molality of zinc}=4.07m$

Calculating molarity of zinc:

To calculate volume of a substance, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of solution = $8740kg/m^3=\frac{8740kg\frac{1000g}{1kg}}{1m^3\times \frac{10^6cm^3}{1m^3}}=\frac{8740g}{1000cm^3}=8.740g/cm^3$

(Conversion factors used are: 1 kg = 1000 g & $1m^3=10^6cm^3$ )

Mass of solution = 100 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$8.740g/cm^3=\frac{100.0g}{\text{Volume of zinc}}\\\\\text{Volume of zinc}=11.44cm^3$

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Molar mass of zinc = 65.3 g/mol

Volume of solution = $11.44cm^3=11.44mL$ (Conversion factor: $1cm^3=1mL$ )

Mass of zinc = 21.0 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of zinc}=\frac{21\times 1000}{65.3\times 11.44}=28.11M$

Hence, the molality and molarity of zinc in the solution is 4.07 m and 28.11 M respectively.

Lab Report

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The purpose of the experiment is to see how water of different temperature and salinity affect the density.

Explanation:

Temperature and salinity directly affect the density of the water. Water of low temperature is more dense than water of high temperature, BUT, (fresh)water with no salt is less dense than (sea)water with more salt, so temperature and salinity change density of water.
