Answer:
A. 0.143 M
B. 0.0523 M
Explanation:
A.
Let's consider the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP).
KOH + KHC₈H₄O₄ → H₂O + K₂C₈H₄O₄
The molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 1.08 g are:
1.08 g × (1 mol/204.22 g) = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol
The molar ratio of KOH to KHC₈H₄O₄ is 1:1. The reacting moles of KOH are 5.28 × 10⁻³ moles.
5.28 × 10⁻³ moles of KOH occupy a volume of 36.8 mL. The molarity of the KOH solution is:
M = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.0368 L = 0.143 M
B.
Let's consider the neutralization of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid.
KOH + HClO₄ → KClO₄ + H₂O
When the molar ratio of acid (A) to base (B) is 1:1, we can use the following expression.
Technically molar mass cannot be in grams, it is in grams per mole. and it refers to a specific number of molecules of a substance, therefore substances have different molar masses because the elements have different weights. for example having 10 water molecules would be a lot heavier than having 10 air molecules
I believe they’re both true.
<span>Well it depends on percentage by what, but I'll just assume that it's percentage by mass.
For this, we look at the atomic masses of the elements present in the compound.
Cu has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu
Fe has 55.845 amu
and S has 36.065 amu
Since there are 2 molecules of Sulfur for each one of Cu and Fe, we'll multiply the Sulfur atomic weight by 2 to obtain 72.13 amu
So we have not established the mass of the compound in amus
63.546 + 55.845 + 72.13 = 191.521
That is the atomic mass of Chalcopyrite. and Iron's atomic mass is 55.845
So to get the percentage, or fraction of iron, we take 55.845 / 191.521
Which comes out to 29.15% by mass
Mass of the sample is not needed for this calculation, but since the question mentions it I would go ahead and check if the question isn't also asking for the mass of Iron in the sample as well, in which case you just find the 29.15% of 67.7g</span>
The correct answer is C. The water is the solvent because the green pellets dissolved in it.
Explanation:
In solutions, the are two substances involved, the solvent and the solute. The solvent is usually a liquid substance; additionally, the solvent dissolves another substance, which is known as the solute. For example, if you dissolve a spoon of salt in a glass of water, the solute is the salt which is the substance dissolved and the solvent is the water because the solute is dissolved in it. According to this, in the case presented the water is the solvent because the green pellets which are the solute dissolve in it.
