8.43g of CaCl2·2H2O is dissolved in 40.0g of H2O. What is the molality of the solution? (Note that the H2O in the CaCl2·2H2O mus

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

[CaCl₂·2H₂O] = 1.43 m

Explanation:

Molality is mol of solute / kg of solvent.

Mass of solvent = 40 g

Let's convert g to kg → 40 g / 1000 = 0.04 kg

Let's determine the moles of solute (mass / molar mass)

8.43 g / 146.98 g/mol = 0.057 mol

Molality = 0.057 mol / 0.04 kg → 1.43

How many sodium ions are in 1.4 kg of sodium chloride, NaCl?

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NaCl = 1.4kg = 1400g

Unknown:

Number of ions of sodium = ?

Solution:

The compound NaCl in ionic form can be written as;

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

In 1 mole of NaCl we have 1 mole of sodium ions

Now, let us find the number of moles in NaCl;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Number of moles = $\frac{1400}{58.5}$ = 23.93mol

So;

Since 1 mole of NaCl gives 1 mole of Na⁺

In 23.93 mole of NaCl will give 23.93 mole of Na⁺

1 mole of a substance = 6.02 x 10²³ ions of a substance

23.93 mole of a substance = 6.02 x 10²³ x 23.93

= 1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺

The mass of a solid substance is 21.112 g. If the volume of the solid substance is 19.5 cm3, calculate the density of the substa

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

ρ = 1.08 g/cm³

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of the substance (m): 21.112 g

Volume of the substance (V): 19.5 cm³

Step 2: Calculate the density of the substance

The density (ρ) of a substance is equal to its mass divided by its volume.

ρ = m / V

ρ = 21.112 g / 19.5 cm³

ρ = 1.08 g/cm³

The density of the substance is 1.08 g/cm³.

Select the pair that consists of a base and its conjugate acid in that order. CO32−/CO22−

lana [24]

Answer: The pair that consists of a base and its conjugate acid in that order. $NH_3/NH_4^+$

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

$H_3PO_4\rightarrow H_PO_4{2^-}+2H^+$

$H_2CO_3\rightarrow HCO_3^-+H^+$

$NH_3+H^+\rightarrow NH_4^+$

$HCO_3^-\rightarrow CO_3^{2-}+H^+$

$NH_3$ is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a brønsted-lowry base and after gaining a proton, it forms $NH_4^+$ which is a conjugate acid.
