A 3.140 molal solution of NaCl is prepared. How many grams of NaCl are present in a sample containing 2.692 kg of water

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

494.49 g of NaCl.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Molality of NaCl = 3.140 m

Mass of water = 2.692 kg

Mass of NaCl =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of NaCl in the solution.

Molality is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit kilogram of solvent. Mathematically, it is expressed as

Molality = mole of solute /Kg of solvent

With the above formula, we can obtain the number of mole NaCl in the solution as follow:

Molality of NaCl = 3.140 m

Mass of water = 2.692 kg

Mole of NaCl =..?

Molality = mole of solute /Kg of solvent

3.140 = mole of NaCl /2.692

Cross multiply

Mole of NaCl = 3.140 x 2.692

Mole of NaCl = 8.45288 moles

Finally, we shall covert 8.45288 moles of NaCl to grams. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of NaCl = 8.45288 moles

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol

Mass of NaCl =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

8.45288 = mass of NaCl /58.5

Cross multiply

Mass of NaCl = 8.45288 × 58.5

Mass of NaCl = 494.49 g.

Therefore, 494.49 g of NaCl are present in the solution.

A decomposition reaction always breaks a compound down into two pure elements. True or False.

skelet666 [1.2K]

False-- most of the time not enough energy is put into the system, so the compounds or whatever cant break down fully into their elements

Need some help, please. Explain why anions are always larger than the atoms from which they are derived, while cations are alway

ANTONII [103]

The question requires us to explain the differences in radii of neutral atoms, cations and anions.

To answer this question, we need to keep in mind that a neutral atom presents the same number of protons (positive particles) and electrons (negative particles). Another important information is that the protons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons are around the nucleus. Also, there is an electrostatic force between protons and electrons, which means that they the protons tend to attract the electrons to the nucleus.

While a neutral atom presents the same number of protons and electrons, a cation is an ion with positive charge, which means it has lost one or more electrons. In a cation, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore: now, there is more positive than negative charge (more protons than electrons), and the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is increased. As a result, the electrons stay closer to the nucleus and the radius of a cation is smaller than the neutral atom from which it was derived.

On the other side, anions present negative charge, which means they have received electrons. Similarly to cations, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore, but in this case, there are more electrons than protons. In an anion, the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is decreased. As a result, the electrons are "more free" to move and, as they are not so attracted to the nucleus, they tend to stay farther from the positive nucleus compared to the neutral atom - because of this, the radius of an anion is larger than the neutral atom from which it was derived.
