You are given two aqueous solutions with different ionic solutes (Solution A and Solution B). What if you are told that Solution

A has a greater concentration than Solution B by mass percent, but Solution B has a greater concentration than Solution A in terms of molality? Is this possible? If not, explain why not. If it is possible, provide example solutes for A and B and justify your answer with calculations.

Answer:

Yes, it is possible. Let us consider an example of two solutions, that is, solution A having 20 percent mass RbCl (rubidium chloride) and solution B is having 15 percent by mass NaCl or sodium chloride.  

It is found that solution A is having more concentration in comparison to solution B in terms of mass percent. The formula for mass percent is,  

% by mass = mass of solute/mass of solution * 100

Now the formula for molality is,  

Molality = weight of solute/molecular weight of solute * 1000/ weight of solvent in grams

Now molality of solution A is,  

m = 20/121 * 1000/80 (molecular weight of RbCl is 121 grams per mole)

m = 2.07

Now the molality of solution B is,  

m = 15/58.5 * 1000/85

m = 3.02

Therefore, in terms of molality, the solution B is having greater concentration (3.02) in comparison to solution A (2.07).

In another experiment, if 80 xo3 molecules react with 104 brz3 molecules how many br2 molecules will be produced which reactant
BaLLatris [955]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

6XO_3+8BrZ_3\rightarrow 6XZ_4+4Br_2+9O_2

In another experiment, if 80 XO_3 molecules react with 104 BrZ_3 molecules. How many Br_2 molecules will be produced which reactant will be used up in the reaction.

Answer : The number of molecules of Br_2  will be, 52 molecules and BrZ_3 reactant will be used up in the reaction because it is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction is:

6XO_3+8BrZ_3\rightarrow 6XZ_4+4Br_2+9O_2

First we have to determine the limiting reagent.

From the balanced reaction we conclude that,

As, 8 molecules of BrZ_3 react with 6 molecule of XO_3

So, 104 molecules of BrZ_3 react with \frac{104}{8}\times 6=78 molecule of XO_3

From this we conclude that, XO_3 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and BrZ_3 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the molecules of Br_2

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 8 molecules of BrZ_3 react to give 4 molecules of Br_2

So, 104 molecules of BrZ_3 react to give \frac{104}{8}\times 4=52 molecules of Br_2

Hence, the number of molecules of Br_2  will be, 52 molecules and BrZ_3 reactant will be used up in the reaction because it is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Which of the following chemical reactions is the only reaction shown that would be predicted to occur based on the activity seri
Novosadov [1.4K]

B. Mn + NiBr₂  →  Ni + MnBr₂

Explanation:

The reaction that can be predicted of all is Mn + NiBr₂  →  Ni + MnBr₂.

The activity series is used to predict the products of single displacement reactions.

The series ranks metals in order of their reactivity. Those higher up in the series are highly reactive metals. Those at the bottom are slightly to non-reactive metals.

For a single displacement reaction to occur, a metal higher up in the activity series displaces one that is lower in the series.

  Reaction A will not occur, Ba is higher in the series

  Reaction C will not occur, Pt and Au are unreactive

  Reaction D will not occur as Zn is lower in the series

Mn is higher in the reactivity series and it will displace Ni from the solution.

When a substance is entering a phase change, the gain or loss of heat is a result of?
sweet [91]

When a substance is entering a phase change, the gain or loss of heat is a result of energy gained or lost in forming or breaking intermolecular interaction.

The constant temperatures occur when a substance is undergoing a phase transition.  If heat is removed from a substance , such as in freezing and condensation , then the process is exothermic . In this instance , heat is decreasing the speed of the molecules causing then move slower.

In chemistry and thermodynamics, phase transitions (or phase changes) are the physical processes of transition between a state of a medium, identified by some parameters, and another one, with different values of the parameters.

Commonly the term is used to refer to changes among the basic states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas, as well as plasma in rare cases.

For example, a phase of a thermodynamic system and the states of matter have uniform physical properties. During a phase transition of a given medium, certain properties of the medium change, often discontinuously, as a result of the change of external conditions, such as temperature, pressure, or others.

For example, a liquid may become gas upon heating to the boiling point, resulting in an abrupt change in volume. The measurement of the external conditions at which the transformation occurs is termed the phase transition. Phase transitions commonly occur in nature and are used today in many technologies.
