Unfortunately the data provided doesn't include the DENSITY of the ammonium chloride solution and molarity is defined as moles per volume. So without the density, the calculation of the molarity is impossible. But fortunately, there are tables available that do provide the required density and for a 20% solution by weight, the density of the solution is 1.057 g/ml.  
So 1 liter of solution will mass 1057 grams and the mass of ammonium chloride will be 0.2 * 1057 g = 211.4 g. The number of moles will then be 211.4 g / 53.5 g/mol = 3.951401869 mol. Rounding to 3 significant digits gives a molarity of 3.95.  
Now assuming that your teacher wants you to assume that the solution masses 1.00 g/ml, then the mass of ammonium chloride will only be 200g, and that is only (200/53.5) = 3.74 moles.   
So in conclusion, the expected answer is 3.74 M, although the correct answer using missing information is 3.95 M.

Answer:

4.67~m

Explanation:

If we have a 20% by <u>weight solution</u> indicates that in <u>100 g of solution we have 20 g</u> of NH_4Cl. So, in the 100 g of solution we will have 80 g of H_2O (100-20= 80). If we remember the <u>molality equation</u>:

m=\frac{mol~of~solute}{Kg~of~solvent}

On this case the <u>solute</u> is NH_4Cl, so we have to convert from g to mol using the <u>molar mass</u>:

20g~NH_4Cl\frac{1~mol~NH_4Cl}{53.5g~NH_4Cl}

0.373mol~NH_4Cl

Then we have to calculate the <u>Kg of solvent</u> (H_2O), so:

80~g~H_2O\frac{1~Kg~H_2O}{1000~g~H_2O}

0.08~Kg~H_2O

Finally, we have to <u>divide</u> these two values:

m=\frac{0.373mol~NH_4C}{0.08~Kg~H_2O}

4.67~m

The gram formula mass of NH4Cl is(1) 22.4 g/mole (3) 53.5 g/mole(2) 28.0 g/mole (4) 95.5 g/mole
g100num [7]
The answer is (3) 53.5 g/mol. The gram formula mass means that the mass of one mol compound. 1N=14, 4H=4, 1Cl=35.5. So the gram formula mass of NH4Cl=14+4+35.5=53.5 g/mol.

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction:Mg + 2HCl → H2 + MgCl2?
krok68 [10]
The law of conservation of mass applies to every reaction. In this case, you start with 1 Mg, 2 H, and 2CL and end up with the same five only their bonds have been rearranged, or in other words, they are joined up differently.

a student reacted 40 drops of an unknown amine with 20 drops of iodomethane in 2 ml of a suitable solvent mixture. after 15 minu
lutik1710 [3]

The compound formed is the quaternary ammonium salt N,N,N-trimethyl-1-phenylmethanaminium iodide.

Quaternary ammonium salts are formed when methyl iodide reacts with an amine. The quaternary ammonium salt is an ionic substance which often has a high melting point. Remember that the melting point of a substance can be used to identify the substance.

In this case, a student reacted 40 drops of an unknown amine with 20 drops of iodomethane in 2 ml of a suitable solvent mixture. after 15 minutes of reaction, a white precipitate formed. the precipitate was isolated and its melting point was recorded to be 178 °c. This precipitate must be N,N,N-trimethyl-1-phenylmethanaminium iodide (Benzyltrimethylammonium iodide) because it is a quaternary ammonium salt whose melting point is 178 °c.
