The mole fraction of KCl in the solution is 0.1051

calculation

mole fraction of KCl in solution = moles of KCl / total number of moles(moles of KCl +moles of H2O)

moles=mass/molar mass

mass of KCl=32.7g

molar mass of KCl= 39 +35.5

moles of KCl is therefore= 32.7g/74.5 g/mol=0.439 moles

find the moles of H2O= mass of H2O/molar mass

mass of H2O=100-32.7=67.3g

molar mass of H2O=( 1 x2) +16=18 g/mol

moles = 67.3/18 =3.739 moles

total moles=3.739+0.439=4.178 moles

mole fraction is therefore=0.439/4.178=0.1051

30cm^3 of a dilute solution of Ca(OH)2 required 11 cm^3 of 0.06 mol/dm^. Hcl for complete neutralization. Calculate the concentr

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Thus concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$ in $mol/dm^3$ is 0.011 and in $g/dm^3$ is 0.814

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$ , we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HCl$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is $Ca(OH)_2$

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.06mol/dm^3\\V_1=11cm^3=0.011dm^3\\n_2=2\\M_2=?\\V_2=30cm^3=0.030dm^3$ $1cm^3=0.001dm^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times 0.06mol/dm^3\times 0.011dm^3=2\times M_2\times 0.030dm^3\\\\M_2=0.011mol/dm^3$

The concentration in $g/dm^3$ is $0.011mol/dm^3\times 74g/mol=0.814g/dm^3$

Thus concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$ is $0.011mol/dm^3$ and $0.814g/dm^3$

20.352 mL of chlorine under a pressure of 680. mm Hg are

Lunna [17]

Answer:

0.01144L or 1.144x10^-2L

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 (initial volume) = 20.352 mL

P1 (initial pressure) = 680mmHg

P2 (final pressure) = 1210mmHg

V2 (final volume) =.?

Using the Boyle's law equation P1V1 = P2V2, the volume of the container can be obtained as follow:

P1V1 = P2V2

680 x 20.352 = 1210 x V2

Divide both side by 1210

V2 = (680 x 20.352)/1210

V2 = 11.44mL

Now we need to convert 11.44mL to L in order to obtain the desired result. This is illustrated below:

1000mL = 1 L

11.44mL = 11.44/1000 = 0.01144L

Therefore the volume of the container is 0.01144L or 1.144x10^-2L

How many of the following statements about silver acetate, AgCH3COO, are true? i) More AgCH3CoO(S) will dissolve if the pH of th

shutvik [7]

Answer:

All three statements are true

Explanation:

Solubility equilibrium of silver acetate:

$AgCH_{3}COO\rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}+CH_{3}COO^{-}$

If pH is increased then concentration of $H^{+}$ increases in solution resulting removal of $CH_{3}COO^{-}$ by forming $CH_{3}COOH$ . Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards right. So more $AgCH_{3}COO$ will dissolve
If $AgNO_{3}$ is added then concentration of $Ag^{+}$ increases in solution resulting shifting of equilibrium towards left in accordance with Le-chatelier principle. So less $AgCH_{3}COO$ will dissolve
Insoluble precipitate of AgOH is formed by adding NaOH in solution resulting removal of $Ag^{+}$ . So, more $AgCH_{3}COO$ will dissolve

Hence all three statements are true
