A camper burning a piece of paper to start a campfire is a chemical change - the way you can think of this is to consider the fact that the paper cannot be put back together and has become ash, so this is therefore a chemical change. The carbon in the paper is oxidized into other chemical including carbon dioxide. Mass was conserved during this reaction because the mass is still the same, just in a different form.

The density of concentrated ammonia, which is 28.0% w/w nh3, is 0.899 g/ml. what volume of this reagent should be diluted to 1.0

vlada-n [284]

Answer: 2.4 ml

Solution :

Molar mass of $NH_3$ = 17 g/mole

Given,: 28% w/w of $NH_3$ solution means 28 g of ammonia in 100 g of solution.

Mass of solution = 100 g

Now we have to calculate the volume of solution.

$Volume=\frac{Mass}{Density}=\frac{100g}{0.899g/ml}=111.2ml$

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute $NH_3=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{28}{17}=1.65moles$

$V_s$ = volume of solution in liter = 0.11 L

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$Molarity=\frac{1.65moles}{0.11L}=15mole/L$

Using molarity equation:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

$15\times V_1=0.036\times 1.0\times 10^{3}$

$V_1=2.4ml$
