Carbon monoxide reacts with hemoglobin of the blood to form carboxyhemoglobin.  The absorption of oxygen worsens, oxygen starvation develops. At a lethal dose, death occurs within 20 days.

Alex Ar [27]
<span>The amount of dissolved salt in the liquid sample is measured and reported as salinity. The salinity is usually measured in parts per thousand (ppt). The salinity of ocean averages 35 ppt while that of the river averages 0.5 ppt or less. In other terms, the word salinity is the saltiness. </span>

1) A potassium carbonate hydrate has a formula K2CO3.XH2O. 10g of the hydrate leave 7.83g of anhydrous salt upon heating. Deduce
OLEGan [10]

The formula of the hydrated potassium carbonate salt is K₂CO₃.2H₂O

Based on the calculated mass ratio of carbon and oxygen in carbon dioxide, carbon has a fixed composition.

<h3>What are hydrated compounds?</h3>

Hydrated compounds are compounds that contain one or more molecules of water physically combined with a molecule of the compound.

The formula of the hydrated potassium carbonate salt is determined as follows:

Mass of the hydrated sample = 10.0 g

Mass of anhydrous salt = 7.83

mass of water = 10 - 7.83

mass of water = 2.17 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0 g

Molar mass of anhydrous potassium carbonate = 138 g

moles of anhydrous potassium carbonate in sample = 7.83/138

moles of anhydrous potassium carbonate = 0.056 moles

moles of water in the hydrated salt = 2.17/18

moles of water in the hydrated salt = 0.12

Mole ratio of water to anhydrous salt = 0.12/0.056

Mole ratio of water to anhydrous salt = 1 : 2

Formula of hydrated salt = K₂CO₃.2H₂O

The mass ratio of carbon to oxygen in the compounds is given below:

Sample 1:

Mass ratio = 3.62 / (13.26 - 3.62)

Mass ratio = 0.38 : 1

Sample 2:

Mass ratio = 5.91 / (21.66 - 5.91)

Mass ratio = 0.38 : 1

Sample 3:

Mass ratio = 7.07 / (25.91 - 7.07)

Mass ratio = 0.38 : 1

Carbon has a fixed composition.

What is the molarity of a stock solution if 60 mL were used to make 150 ml<br>of a .5M solution? ​
olga2289 [7]

The molarity of the stock solution is 1.25 M.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to find the molarity of the stock solution using the law of volumetric analysis as,

V1M1 = V2M2

V1 = 150 ml

M1 = 0.5 M

V2 = 60 ml

M2 = ?

The above equation can be rearranged to get M2 as,

M2 = $\frac{V1M1}{V2}

Plugin the values as,

M2 = $\frac{150 \times 0.5}{60}

       = 1.25 M

So the molarity of the stock solution is 1.25 M.
