What is the concentration, in mass percent (m/m), of a solution prepared from 50.0 g nacl and 150.0 g of water?

2 answers:

8 0

Mass of solute ( m1 ) = 50.0 g

mass of solvent ( m2 ) = 150.0 g

Therefore:

m/m = ( m1 / m1 + m2 )

m/m = ( 50.0 / 50.0 + 150.0 )

m/m = ( 50.0 / 200 )

m/m = 0.25

Answer: 25%m/m

Explanation: The concentration of a solution (in mass percent) is the mass of the solute divided by the mass of the solution, in the given case, the solute is NaCl and its mass is 50.0 g, and the mass of the solution will be the mass of the solute plus the mass of the solvent (water):

mass of the solution= mass of NaCl+ mass of water

mass of the solution=50.0 g+ 150.0 g

mass of the solution=200.0 g

concentration (%m/m)=100*mass of the solute/mass of the solution

concentration (%m/m)=100*50.0g/200.0 g

concentration (%m/m) =25%m/m

Ammonium perchlorate (NH,CIO) is the solid rocket fuel used by the U.S. Space Shuttle. It reacts with itself to produce nitrogen

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of oxygen gas produced is 2.4 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of ammonium perchlorate = 8.84 g

Molar mass of ammonium perchlorate = 117.5 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of ammonium perchlorate}=\frac{8.84g}{117.5g/mol}=0.0752mol$

The chemical equation for the decomposition of ammonium perchlorate follows:

$2NH_4ClO_4\rightarrow N_2+Cl_2+2O_2+4H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of ammonium perchlorate produces 2 moles of oxygen gas.

So, 0.0752 moles of ammonium perchlorate will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 0.0752=0.0752mol$ of oxygen gas

Now, calculating the mass of oxygen gas from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.0752 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0752mol=\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen gas}}{32g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of oxygen gas}=(0.0752mol\times 32g/mol)=2.4g$

Hence, the mass of oxygen gas produced is 2.4 grams

Iodine-131 is a radioactive material that plays a role in natural gas production and has a half-life of 8 days. A 320-mg sample

svetlana [45]

Time of decays approximately 2.853 days

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 320mg iodine-131

No=320 mg

Nt=250 mg

t1/2 = 8 days

Required

t=time of decays

Solution

General formulas used in decay:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}$

Input the value

$\tt 250=320.\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/8}\\\\log\dfrac{25}{30}=t/8.log~0.5\rightarrow t=2.853~days$
