Calculate the molality of 75.0 grams of MgCl2 (molar mass=95.21 g/mol) dissolved in 500.0 g of solvent.

nordsb [41]

Answer: The molality of magnesium chloride is 1.58 m

Explanation:

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

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

Where,

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (magnesium chloride) = 75.0

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (magnesium chloride) = 95.21 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent = 500.0 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molality of }MgCl_2=\frac{75.0\times 1000}{95.21\times 500.0}\\\\\text{Molality of }MgCl_2=1.58m$

Hence, the molality of magnesium chloride is 1.58 m

What reactions are involved in making plastic bags and what are the molecules that make up a plastic bag like?

denpristay [2]

Plastic bags are made up of plastic film, non-woven fabric, or plastic textile. The molecules that are present in plastic bags are polymers. Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers.
I know this isn't much, but I hope it helps! :)

Tarnish on copper is the compound CuO. A tarnished copper plate is placed in an aluminum pan of boiling water. When enough salt

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The standard cell potential is 2.00 V

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Cu is cathode because of higher EP

Al3++3e−→Al E∘=−1.66 V anode

Cu2++2e−→Cu E∘=0.340 V cathode

Step 2: Balance both equations

2*(Al → Al3+-3e−) E∘=1.66 V

3*(Cu2++2e−→Cu) E∘=0.340 V

Step 3: The netto equation

2 Al + 3Cu2+ +6e- → 2Al3+ + 3Cu -6e-

2 Al + 3Cu2+ → 2Al3+ + 3Cu

Step 4: Calculate the standard cell potential

E∘cell = E∘cathode - E∘anode

E∘cell = E∘ Cu2+/Cu - E∘ Al3+/Al

E∘cell =0.340 V - (-1.66) = 2.00 V

The standard cell potential is 2.00 V

Determine the equilibrium constant, Kp, for the following reaction, by using the two reference equations below: 2 NO(g) + O2(g)

klio [65]

Answer:

$Kp=3.07x10^6$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing the given reference reactions, one could rearrange them as follows:

$2 NO(g) \leftrightarrow N_2(g) + O_2(g); Kp_2 = \frac{1}{2.3 x 10^{-19}}=4.35x10^{18}$

$N_2(g) + 2O_2(g) \leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g);Kp_3=(8.4x10^{-7})^2=7.056x10^{-13}$

Subsequently, to obtain the main reaction, we add the aforementioned reference rearranged reactions as shown below (just as reference):

$2NO(g)+N_2(g)+2O_2\leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g)+N_2+O_2$

Consequently, the equilibrium constant is computed as:

$Kp=\frac{[N_2][O_2]}{[NO]^2} * \frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2][O_2]^2} =Kp_2*Kp_3=4.35x10^{18}*7.056x10^{-13}=3.07x10^6$

Best regards.

How many water molecules (H2O) can be produced from 6 molecules of hydrogen gas (white) reacting with 6 molecules of oxygen gas

Vladimir79 [104]

I think you can only have 3 water molecules because you need 2 hydrogen molecules in every water molecule and you have 6 hydrogen molecules so 6/2=3 and the reactant that is limited would be hydrogen since it limits the amount of water molecules you can have
