An atom with an atomic number of 12 and a mass number of 25 can best be described by which of these?

Calculate the number of grams of sodium chloride in the solution. (Hint: Remember that sodium chloride is a strong electrolyte.)

creativ13 [48]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A solution contains 0.115 mol $H_2O$ and an unknown number of moles of sodium chloride. The vapor pressure of the solution at 30°C is 25.7 torr. The vapor pressure of pure water at this temperature is 31.8 torr. Calculate the number of grams of sodium chloride in the solution. (Hint: Remember that sodium chloride is a strong electrolyte.)

Answer: The mass of sodium chloride in the solution is 0.714 grams

Explanation:

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be:

$\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times \chi_{\text{solute}}$

where,

$p^o$ = vapor pressure of solvent (water) = 31.8 torr

$p^s$ = vapor pressure of the solution = 25.7 torr

i = Van't Hoff factor = 2

$\chi_{\text{solute}}$ = mole fraction of solute (sodium chloride) = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{31.8-25.7}{31.8}=2\times \chi_{NaCl}\\\\\chi_{NaCl}=0.0959$

Mole fraction of a substance is calculated by using the equation:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

$\chi_{\text{NaCl}}=\frac{n_{\text{NaCl}}}{n_{\text{NaCl}}+n_{\text{water}}}$

We are given:

Moles of water = 0.115 moles

$0.0959=\frac{n_{\text{NaCl}}}{n_{\text{NaCl}}+0.115}\\\\n_{\text{NaCl}}=0.0122mol$

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of NaCl = 0.0122 moles

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0122mol=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{58.5g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of NaCl}(0.0122mol\times 58.5g/mol)=0.714g$

Hence, the mass of sodium chloride in the solution is 0.714 grams

How can you tell the number of covalent bonds an element can form?

Sergio039 [100]

The number of bonds for a neutral atom is equal to the number of electrons in the full valence shell (2 or 8 electrons) minus the number of valence electrons. This method works because each covalent bond that an atom forms adds another electron to an atoms valence shell without changing its charge.

How many federal agencies are responsible for managing land resources in the United States?

dimulka [17.4K]

The answer would be 4.

The agencies are:

Department of Agriculture's Forest Service (AFS)

Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)

National Park Service (NPS)

These four agencies cover around 95% of the land and are the only federal agencies.

I learned about these agencies in school.

The density of copper is 8.68 g/mL use the density value to determine how many moles are

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

17.1 mol

Explanation:

(8.68g/mL * 125 mL) = 1085 g

1085 g/ (63.55 g/mol) = 17.1 mol
