Answer:

Mass % of the solution = 7.1067 %

Explanation:

Given :

Molarity of nitric acid solution = 1.85 M

Density of the solution = 1.64 g/mL

<u>Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute present in 1 liter of the solution.</u>

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Lets, consider the volume of the solution = 1 L

Thus,

Moles of nitric acid present in the solution:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Moles of Nitric acid=Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

So,

Moles of Nitric acid  = 1.85 moles

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63 g/mol

The mass of Nitric acid can be find out by using mole formula as:

moles=\frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,  

Mass\ of\ Nitric\ acid=Moles \times Molar mass}

Mass\ of\ Nitric\ acid=1.85 g \times 63 g/mol}

<u>Mass of Nitric acid = 116.55 g</u>

Also,

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Given : Density = 1.64 g/mL

Also, 1 L = 10³ mL

Volume of the solution is 1000 mL

So, mass of the solution:

Mass\ of\ the\ solution=Density \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Mass\ of\ the\ solution=1.64 g/mL \times {1000 mL}

<u>Mass of the solution  = 1640 g</u>

Mass % is defined as the mass of solute in 100 g of the solution. The formula for the calculation of mass % is shown below:

Mass \% =\frac{Mass\ of\ the\ solute}{Mass\ of\ the\ solution} \times {100}

So,

Mass \%=\frac{116.55}{1640} \times {100}

<u>Mass % = 7.1067 %</u>

The depletion of ozone (O3) in the stratosphere has been a matter of great concern among scientists in recent years. It is belie
Deffense [45]

<u>Answer:</u> Nitric oxide is the limiting reagent. The number of moles of excess reagent left is 0.0039 moles. The amount of nitrogen dioxide produced will be 0.7912 g.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}   ....(1)

  • <u>For ozone:</u>

Given mass of ozone = 0.827 g

Molar mass of ozone = 48 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of ozone}=\frac{0.827g}{48g/mol}=0.0172mol

  • <u>For nitric oxide:</u>

Given mass of nitric oxide = 0.635 g

Molar mass of nitric oxide = 30.01 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of nitric oxide}=\frac{0.635g}{30.01g/mol}=0.0211mol

For the given chemical equation:

O_3+NO\rightarrow O_2+NO_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ozone reacts with 1 mole of nitric oxide.

So, 0.0172 moles of ozone will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0172=0.0172moles of nitric oxide

As, given amount of nitric oxide is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, ozone is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

  • Amount of excess reagent (nitric oxide) left = 0.0211 - 0.0172 = 0.0039 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of ozone produces 1 mole of nitrogen dioxide.

So, 0.0172 moles of ozone will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0172=0.0172moles of nitrogen dioxide

Now, calculating the mass of nitrogen dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

Moles of nitrogen dioxide = 0.0172 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0172mol=\frac{\text{Mass of nitrogen dioxide}}{46g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of nitrogen dioxide}=0.7912g

Hence, nitric oxide is the limiting reagent. The number of moles of excess reagent left is 0.0039 moles. The amount of nitrogen dioxide produced will be 0.7912 g.

Which pair consists of a molecular formula and its corresponding empirical formula?
MissTica
<span>3) P4O10 and P2O5
The mass of the P4O10 divided by the mass of the P2O5=2, and if you multiply the number of atoms in the P2O5 by 2, you get the P4O10, thus P2O5 is its empirical formula.</span>

Are alcohols with more than one hydroxyl group attached to a carbon sequence.
Darya [45]

Answer:

Polyhydroxyl alcohols

Explanation:

Whenever we have several C-OH bonds, we have a polyhydroxyl alcohol. For example, if we have just one alcohol group, that is, an R-OH group, then the naming is simple, say, we have EtOH, it's ethanol.

The problem becomes more complicated when we have several hydroxyl groups present in the alcohol. Let's say we have an ethane molecule and we replace the hydrogen atoms of carbon 1 and 2 with hydroxyl groups. In that case, we have 1,2-ethanediol. Similarly, we can have triols etc.

That said, we have poly (several) hydroxyl groups and we can generalize this to having polyhydroxyl alcohols.
