The answer is A. 12.2% BaO

Below is the solution as to how the answer was generated:

Let:

25.8g = mass of solute

212g = mass solution

Equation:

% = (mass of solute / mass solution) x 100

Substitute the given values to the equation:

% = (25.8 / 212) x 100

% = 0.122 x 100

= 12.2%

Correct Answer: Option A i.e. 12.2 % BaO 
.....................................................................................................................................

Reason: percent by mass is mathematically expressed as:
% by mass = $\frac{\text{Weight of solute (g)}}{\text{Weight of solution (g)}}$ X 100

Given: weight of solute (BaO) = 25.8 g weight of solution = 212 g

∴, % by mass of the solution = $\frac{25.8X100}{212}$ 
= 12.2 %

Thus, percent by mass of BaO in solution is 12.2 %

What is the mole fraction of NaCl in a mixture containing 7.21 moles NaCl, 9.37 moles KCL, and 3.42

GrogVix [38]

Answer : The mole fraction of NaCl in a mixture is, 0.360

Explanation : Given,

Moles of $NaCl$ = 7.21 mole

Moles of $KCl$ = 9.37 mole

Moles of $LiCl$ = 3.42 mole

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of $NaCl$ .

$\text{Mole fraction of }NaCl=\frac{\text{Moles of }NaCl}{\text{Moles of }NaCl+\text{Moles of }KCl+\text{Moles of }LiCl}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\text{Mole fraction of }NaCl=\frac{7.21}{7.21+9.37+3.42}=0.360$

Therefore, the mole fraction of NaCl in a mixture is, 0.360

The energies of the bonds broken in a certain reaction are greater than the energies of the bonds formed. Which one of the follo

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a. The reaction is endothermic.

Explanation:

The heat involved in a chemical reaction is given by the enthalpy change (ΔH), which is equal to the balance between the chemical bonds that are broken (release energy) and the chemical bonds that are formed (need energy):

ΔH ≅ bonds broken - bonds formed

If broken bonds > bonds formed ⇒ ΔH > 0 ⇒ endothermic reaction

Therefore, the reaction is endothermic (it requires energy).
