Answer:

47 g/mol

Explanation:

0.70 (50 amu) + 0.25 (35 amu) + 0.05 (70 amu) = 47 amu = 47 g/mol

What is the mole fraction of sodium chloride in solution that is 13. 0 y mass sodium chloride and that has a density of 1. 10 g/

lyudmila [28]

Mole fraction is the ratio of the constituent moles to the total constituents. The mole fraction of sodium chloride is 0.0443.

<h3>What is a mole fraction?</h3>

A mole fraction is the proportion of the moles of the component in a total component present.

In 100 gm of solution 13.0 5 means, there is 13.0 gm of sodium chloride present. The mass of water is calculated as,

100 - 13.0 = 87.0 gm

Moles of sodium chloride is calculated as:

$\begin{aligned} \rm moles &= \rm \dfrac{mass}{molar\; mass} \\\\&= \dfrac{13}{58}\\\\&= 0.224 \;\rm moles\end{aligned}$

Moles of water are calculated as:

$\begin{aligned} \rm moles &= \rm \dfrac{mass}{molar\; mass} \\\\&= \dfrac{87}{18}\\\\&= 4.83\;\rm moles\end{aligned}$

Now, moles fraction is calculated by dividing moles of sodium chloride by total moles as,

$\begin{aligned} \text{Mole fraction of NaCl} &= \dfrac{0.224}{0.224 + 4.83}\\\\&= 0.0443\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the mole fraction of sodium chloride is 0.0443.

What is one of the ways a fission reaction can get out of control?

cricket20 [7]

Answer : When the nuclear reaction produces too many neutrons.

Explanation : In a nuclear fission reactor where the reaction is controlled by regulating the number of neutrons produced by the chain reaction. Production of too many neutrons may cause an accelerated uncontrolled chain reaction which may cause enormous heat to be generated in a very short period of time inside the reactor which may result into an explosion.

For, this purpose control rods, made of neutron absorbing species, like cadmium, are placed in the nuclear reactors to control the excess number of neutrons at any point of reaction when required.

What mass of boron sulfide must be processed with 2.1 x 10 4g of carbon to yield 3.11 x 10 4 g of boron and 1.47 x 10 5 g of car

Basile [38]

The reaction between boron sulfide and carbon is given as:

2B2S3 + 3C → 4B + 3CS2

As per the law of conservation of mass, for any chemical reaction the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products.

Given data:

Mass of C = 2.1 * 10^ 4 g

Mass of B = 3.11*10^4 g

Mass of CS2 = 1.47*10^5

Mass of B2S3 = ?

Now based on the law of conservation of mass:

Mass of B2S3 + mass C = mass of B + mass of CS2

Mass of B2S3 + 2.1 * 10^ 4 = 3.11*10^4 + 1.47*10^5

Mass of B2S3 = 15.7 * 10^4 g

Gwar [14]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 2.52 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass of object = 15.9 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 56.3 - 50 = 6.3 mL

It's density is

$density = \frac{15.9}{6.3} \\ = 2.523809...$

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.52 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
