Answer:

It reads as follows: 0.5 moles of solute per liter of solution.

Explanation:

Molarity is the most frequent way of expressing the concentration of solutions in chemistry, and it indicates the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of solution; is represented by the letter M.

If 9.8g water is used in electrolysis, what is the percent yield if 5.6g of oxygen was

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Approximately $64\%$ .

Explanation:

$\displaystyle \text{Percentage Yield} = \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \times 100\%$

The actual yield of $\rm O_2$ was given. The theoretical yield needs to be calculated from the quantity of the reactant.

Balance the equation for the hydrolysis of water:

$\rm 2\, H_2O \, (l) \to 2\, H_2\, (g) + O_2\, (g)$ .

Note the ratio between the coefficient of $\rm H_2O\, (g)$ and $\rm O_2\, (g)$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2\, (g)})}{n(\mathrm{H_2O\, (aq)})} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

This ratio will be useful for finding the theoretical yield of $\rm O_2\, (g)$ .

Look up the relative atomic mass of hydrogen and oxygen on a modern periodic table.

$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .
$\rm O$ : $15.999$ .

Calculate the formula mass of $\rm H_2O$ and $\rm O_2$ :

$M(\mathrm{H_2O}) =2\times 1.008 + 15.999 = 18.015\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$M(\mathrm{O_2}) =2\times 15.999 = 31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Calculate the number of moles of molecules in $9.8\; \rm g$ of $\rm H_2O$ :

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{H_2O}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{H_2O})}{M(\mathrm{H_2O})} = \frac{9.8\; \rm g}{18.015\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 0.543991\;\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Make use of the ratio $\displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2\, (g)})}{n(\mathrm{H_2O\, (aq)})} = \frac{1}{2}$ to find the theoretical yield of $\rm O_2$ (in terms of number of moles of molecules.)

$\begin{aligned} n(\mathrm{O_2}) &= \displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2\, (g)})}{n(\mathrm{H_2O\, (aq)})} \cdot n(\mathrm{H_2O}) \\ &\approx \frac{1}{2} \times 0.543991\; \rm mol \approx 0.271996\; \rm mol \end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the mass of that approximately $0.271996\; \rm mol$ of $\rm O_2$ (theoretical yield.)

$\begin{aligned}m(\mathrm{O_2}) &= n(\mathrm{O_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{O_2}) \\ &\approx 0.271996\; \rm mol \times 31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1} \approx 8.70331 \; \rm g \end{aligned}$ .

That would correspond to the theoretical yield of $\rm O_2$ (in term of the mass of the product.)

Given that the actual yield is $5.6\; \rm g$ , calculate the percentage yield:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Yield} &= \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \times 100\% \\ &\approx \frac{5.6\; \rm g}{8.70331\; \rm g} \times 100\% \approx 64\%\end{aligned}$ .

What happens to the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter as the temperature of the sample is increased?

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

As the temperature of a sample of matter is increased, the average kinetic energy of the particles in the sample increase.

Explanation:

The temperature of a substance is the measure of the average kinetic energy of its partilces.

The temperature, i.e. how hot or cold is a substance, is the result of the collisions of the particles (atoms or molecules) of matter.

The kinetic theory of gases states that, if the temperature is the same, the average kinetic energy of any gas is the same, regardless the gas and other conditions.

This equation expresses it:

Avg KE = (3/2) (R / N) T

Where Avg KE is the average kinetic energy, R is the universal constant of gases, N is Avogadro's constnat, and T is the temperature measure in absolute scale (Kelvin).

As you see, in that equation Avg KE is propotional to T, which means that as the temperature is increased, the average kinetic energy increases.
