Answer:

Salts can be several different colors and may be any of the five tastes, including salty, sweet, bitter, sour or savory. Their odor depends on the acid and base it is comprised of. Salts comprised of strong acids and bases, called strong salts, are odorless.

Determine the molality of a solution of methanol dissolved in ethanol for which the mole fraction of methanol is 0.135. Give you

Alja [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The molality of the solution is 0.11 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mole fraction of methanol = 0.135

This means that 0.135 moles of methanol is present in 1 mole of a solution

Moles of ethanol = 1 - 0.135 = 0.865 moles

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of ethanol = 0.865 moles

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

$0.865mol=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{46g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.865mol\times 46g/mol}=39.79g$

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

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

Where,

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (methanol) = 0.135 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (methanol) = 32 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (ethanol) = 39.79 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molality of methanol}=\frac{0.135\times 1000}{32\times 39.79}\\\\\text{Molality of methanol}=0.106m\approx 0.11m$

Hence, the molality of the solution is 0.11 m

1. What is the potential energy of a 8 kg ball that is at a height of 20 m?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

1. 1568 J

2. 0 J

3. 1176 J

Explanation:

PE = mgh

(PE = Potential Energy) = (m = mass)(g = gravitational force which is 9.8)(h = height)

1. (3)(9.8)(20) = 1568 J

2. PE = (3)(9.8)(0) = 0 J

3. (5)(9.8)(24) = 1176 J

A dark brown binary compound contains oxygen and a metal. It is 13.38% oxygen by mass. Heating it moderately drives off some of

Leto [7]

Answer:

a) Mass of O in compound A = 32.72 g

Mass of O in compound B = 21.26 g

Mass of O in compound C = 15.94 g

b) Compound A = MO2

Compound B = M3O4

Compound C = MO

c) M = Pb

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A binairy compound contains oxygen (O) and metal (M)

⇒ 13.38 % O

⇒ 100 - 13.38 = 86.62 % M

After heating we get another binairy compound

⇒ 9.334 % O

⇒ 100 - 9.334 = 90.666 % M

After heating we get another binairy compound

⇒ 7.168 % O

⇒ 100 - 7.168 = 92.832 % M

The first compound has an empirical formula of MO2

⇒ 1 mol M for 2 moles O

Step 2: Calculate amount of metal and oxygen in each

compound A: M = m1 *0.8662 O = m1 *0.1338

compound B: M = m2 *0.90666 O = m2 *0.09334

compound C: M = m3 *0.92832 O = m3 *0.07168

Step 3: Calculate mass of oxygen with 1.000 grams of M

Compound A: 1.000g * 0.1338 m1gO / 0.8662m1gMetal = 0.1545

Compound B: 1.000g * 0.09334 m2gO / 0.90666m2gMetal = 0.1029

Compound C: 1.000g * 0.07168 m3gO / 0.92832m3gMetal = 0.07721

Step 4:

1 mol MO2 has 1 mol M and 2 moles O

m1 = (mol O * 16)/0.1338 m1 = 239.2 grams

1 mol M = 0.8632*239.2 = 206.48

0.90666m2 = 206.48 ⇒ m2 = 227.74 g

0.92832m3 = 206.48 ⇒ m3 = 222.42 g

Step 5: Calculate mass of O

Mass of O in compound A = 239.2 - 206.48 = 32.72 g

Mass of O in compound B = 227.74 - 206.48 = 21.26 g

Mass of O in compound C = 222.42- 206.48 = 15.94 g

Step 6: Calculate moles

Moles of O in compound A ≈ 2

⇒ MO2

Moles of O in compound B = 21.26 / 16 ≈ 1.33

⇒ M3O4

Moles of O compound C = 15.94 /16 ≈ 1 moles

⇒ MO

Step 7: Calculate molar mass

The mass of 1 mol metal is 206.48 grams ⇒ molar mass ≈ 206.48 g/mol

The closest metal to this molar mass is lead (Pb)
