Answer:

3.26 % of vinegar is acetic acid

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample = 5.54 grams

Volume of NaOH = 30.10 mL

Molarity of NaOH = 0.100M

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles NaOH

Moles NaOH = volume * molarity

Moles NaOH = 0.03010 L * 0.100M

Moles NaOH = 0.00301 moles NaOH

Step 4: Calculate moles CH3COOH

For 1 mol NaOH we need 1 mol CH3COOH

For 0.00301 moles NaOH we nee 0.00301 moles CH3COOH

Step 5: Calculate mass CH3COOH

Mass CH3COOH = moles CH3COOH * molar mass CH3COOH

Mass CH3COOH = 0.00301 moles * 60.05 g/mol

Mass CH3COOH = 0.1808 grams

Step 6: Calculate percent by weight of acetic acid

Mass % = ( 0.1808 / 5.54 ) *100%

Mass % = 3.26 %

3.26 % of vinegar is acetic acid

A sample of gas occupies 7.80 liters at 425=C2=B0C? What will be the volume= of the gas at 35=C2=B0C if the pressure does not ch
luda_lava [24]

To solve this we assume that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

V2 = T2 x V1 / T1

V2 = 308.15 x 7.80 / 698.15

V2 =3.44 L

Suppose you have been given the task of distilling a mixture of hexane + toluene. Pure hexane has a refractive index of 1.375 an
miv72 [106K]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         Refractive index of mixture = 1.456

        Refractive index of hexane = 1.375

        Refractive index of toulene = 1.497

Let mole fraction of hexane = x_{1}

and, mole fraction of toulene = x_{2}

Also,        x_{1} + x_{2} = 1

or,            x_{1} = 1 - x_{2}

Hence, calculate the mole fraction of hexane as follows.

        refractive index mixture= mole fraction hexane × ref index hexane + mole fraction toluene × ref index toluene.

              1.456 = (1 - x_{2}) \times 1.375 + x_{2} \times 1.497

               1.456 = 1.375 - 1.375x_{2} + 1.497x_{2}

               0.081 = 0.122x_{2}

                   x_{2} = \frac{0.081}{0.122}

                                = 0.66

Since,     x_{1} = 1 - x_{2}

                          = 1 - 0.66

                          = 0.34

Thus, we can conclude that mole fraction of hexane in your sample is 0.34.
