The molality of calcium chloride (CaCl2) in an aqueous solution is 2.46 m. What is mole fraction of the solute?
1 answer:
Given that CaCl2 = 2.46 m
Therefore 2.46 mole of CaCl2 present in 1.00 g of solution
Mass of 2.46 mole CaCl2= number of mole * molar mass
= 2.46 mole * 110.98 g/mol
= 273.01 g
Mass of water or solvent = mass of solution – mass of solute
= 1000 g -273.01 g
= 726.99 g
Mole of water = amount in g / molar mass
= 726.99 g/18.02 g/ mole
= 40.34 moles
Mole fraction of CaCl2 = number of mole of CaCl2 / total moles
= 2.46 /2.46+40.34
= 2.46/42.8
= 0.057

<u>Answer:</u>
<em>1) ∆H is positive Endothermic
</em>
<em>2)
Endothermic </em>
<em>3) Energy is absorbed Endothermic
</em>
<em>4)
Exothermic
</em>
<em>5) ∆H is negtive Exothermic

<u>Explanation:</u>
∆H is called as enthalpy change
It is also called as Heat of reaction
Energy is required for the bond to break a bond.
Energy is released when a bond is formed.
that is
We see in this equation, bonds between hydrogen and chlorine molecules gets broken and on the right side bond is formed in HCl.
If energy of products greater than energy of reactants then the reaction enthalpy change is endothermic .
If energy of products lesser than energy of reactants then the reaction enthalpy change is exothermic .
For example
(positive hence endothermic)
(negative hence exothermic)
