A student attempted to identify an unknown compound by the method used in the experiment. She found that when she heated the sam

ple weighing 0.4862g, the mass barely changed, dropping to 0.4855g. When the product was converted to a chloride, the mass went up to 0.5247g. Is the sample a carbonate? What are the two compounds that might be the unknown?

Answer:

The sample is a carbonate.

The unknown samples are Na2CO3 and K2CO3.

Explanation:

Let's assume ,the sample is Na2CO3.

Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaCl via formation of Na2O

Number of moles of NaCO3= 0.48262g/106gmol= 4.586×10^-3mol

Mass of NaCl= 2(4.586×10^-3)×58.5=0.536g

Let's assume the sample is K2CO3

K2CO3 produces2 moles of KCl

Number of moles of K2CO3= 0.4862g/138.21gmol

Number of moles= 3.517×10^-3mol

Mass of KCl formed= 2(3.517×10^-3)×74.55=0.5246g

Na2CO3 + 2Cl- ⇒ 2NaCl + CO3^-2 
<span>
1 mole of Na2CO3 = 106 g </span>
<span>2 moles of NaCl     = 2 x 58.4
                               = 116.8 g 
</span>Na2CO3 would increase by 116.8 / 106 = 1.10 to form 2NaCl.
<span>0.4862 g x 1.10 = 0.515 grams of NaCl.

K2CO3 + 2Cl- ⇒ 2KCl + CO3^-2 
<span>1 mole of K2CO3 = 138.2 g </span>
<span>2 moles of KCl = 149.1 </span>
<span>
K2CO3 would increase by </span>149.1 /138.2 = 1.079 <span>to form 2KCl
</span>
<span> 0.4862 x 1.079 = 0.5246 g</span>

A solution made by dissolving 33 mg of insulin in 6.5 mL of water has an osmotic pressure of 15.5 mmHg at 25°C. Calculate the mo
Liula [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

\pi=iMRT

Or,

\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT

where,

\pi = osmotic pressure of the solution = 15.5 mmHg

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Mass of solute (insulin) = 33 mg = 0.033 g   (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Volume of solution = 6.5 mL

R = Gas constant = 62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the solution = 25^oC=[273+25]=298K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

15.5mmHg=1\times \frac{0.033\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of insulin}\times 6.5}\times 62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\\text{molar mass of insulin}=\frac{1\times 0.033\times 1000\times 62.364\times 298}{15.5\times 6.5}=6087.2g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

In a titration of 0.5 M HCl and an unknown concentration NaOH, 25.0 ml of NaOH was required to completely neutralize 25.0 ml of
baherus [9]
When an acid is neutralized by a base, that means moles of H+ = moles of OH-

moles of H+ = 0.5 M * 0.025 L HCl = 0.0125 moles H+

moles of OH- should be equal to 0.0125 moles, so
0.0125 moles = (x) * 0.025 L NaOH

x is the concentration of NaOH, which we want to find.

x = 0.5 M

The correct answer is C) 0.5 M.
