Answer:

MgCl2 > C4H9OH > CH4 > C3H8.

Explanation:

Alkanes do not form hydrogen bonds and are insoluble in polar solvents e.g water. The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are move away from an alkane molecule and this worsens as their Carbon chain / molecular weight increases.

MgCl2 is soluble in water. Water essentially breaks down the ionic crystal lattice and the resulting solution is slightly basic.

Alcohols are generally soluble in water and this is because of the -OH group and its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. As applied to alkanes, as the carbon chain in the alkyl group increases, the solubility decreases.

From the most soluble to the least soluble,

MgCl2 > C4H9OH > CH4 > C3H8.

Calculate the molality of a solution formed by adding 6.30 g NH4CL to 15.7 g of water
babymother [125]

Answer:

Molality = 7.5 mol/kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NH₄Cl = 6.30 g

Mass of water = 15.7 g (15.7/1000 =0.016 kg)

Molality = ?

Solution:

Formula of molality:

Molality = Moles of solute / mass of solvent in gram

Now we will first calculate the number of moles of solute( NH₄Cl )

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of  NH₄Cl = 53.491 g/mol

Number of moles = 6.30 g/  53.491 g/mol

Number of moles =  0.12 mol

Now we will calculate the molality.

Molality = Moles of solute / mass of solvent in gram

Molality =  0.12 mol / 0.016 kg

Molality = 7.5 m

or        (m=mol/kg)

Molality = 7.5 mol/kg

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

An osmolarity of saline solution is 308 mosmol/L.

m(NaCl) = 9 g; the mass of sodium chloride

V(solution) = 1 L; the volume of the saline solution

n(NaCl) = 9 g ÷ 58.44 g/mol

n(NaCl) = 0.155 mol; the amount of sodium chloride

number of ions = 2

Osmotic concentration (osmolarity) is a measure of how many osmoles of particles of solute it contains per liter.

The osmolarity = n(NaCl) ÷ V(solution)  × 2

The osmolarity = 0.154 mol ÷ 1 L × 2

The osmolarity = 0.154 mol/L × 1000 mmol/m × 2

The osmolarity of the saline solution = 308 mosm/L.

An atom of gold has a mass of 3.271 x 10-22g. How many atoms of gold are in 5.00g of gold?
rosijanka [135]
To get the number of gold atoms, you have to divide the mass of the gold by the mass of the gold atom. It follows this simple equation  \frac{mass of gold}{mass of gold atom}. 

Let x be the number of gold atoms. Plug in the values to a calculator.

x = \frac{5.00g}{3.271 x 10-22g}
Both have the same units so the unit gram(g) can be cancelled. 
x then would be equal to 1.53x10^22. So there are 1.53x10^22 atoms of gold in 5 g of gold
