Answer:

0.80m of KOH

Explanation:

Molality is an unit of concentration defined as the ratio between moles of solute and kg of solvent.

In the problem, the solute is KOH and solvent is water.

Moles of 36g KOH -Molar mass: 56.1g/mol- are:

36g KOH × (1mol / 56.1g) = 0.642 moles of KOH

Now, as density of water is 1g/mL, mass of 800mL of water is:

800mL × (1g / mL) × (1kg / 1000g) = 0.800kg of water

Thus, molality is:

0.642moles of KOH / 0.800kg = 0.80m of KOH

Which of the following equations is balanced?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

A) 4P + 5O₂ → 2P₂O₅

Explanation:

A) 4P + 5O₂ → 2P₂O₅

This equation is balanced. There are four phosphorus and ten oxygen atoms are on both side of equation.

B) 5P + 4O₂ → 2P₄O₅

This equation is not balanced. There are five phosphorus and eight oxygen atoms on left, eight phosphorus ten oxygen on right side of equation.

C) 2P + O₂ → P₂O₅

This equation is not balanced. There are two phosphorus, two oxygen atoms on left and two phosphorus five oxygen on right side of equation.

D) 4P + 2O₂ → 2P₄O₅

This equation is not balanced. There are four phosphorus, four oxygen atoms on left and eight phosphorus ten oxygen on right side of equation.
