Answer:

[NaOH] = 19.1 M

Last option.

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide is available commercially as a 50.0% by weight aqueous solution.

50% by weight means, that in 100 g of solution we have 50 grams of solute.

Molar mass of solute: 40 g/m

Mass / Molar mass = moles

50 g / 40 g/m = 1.25 moles

These are the moles of solute in 100 grams of solution, so we must use density data, so we can find out our volume.

Solution density = Solution mass / Solution volume

1.53 g/mL = 100 g / Solution volume

Solution volume = 100 g / 1.53 g/mL

Solution volume = 65.3 mL

1.25 moles of solute are in 65.3 mL of solution

Molarity = moles /L

Let's convert 65.3 mL in L

65.3 / 1000 = 0.0653 L

1.25 moles /0.0653 L = 19.1 M

What volume of carbon dioxide, at 1 atm pressure and 112°C, will be produced when 80.0 grams of methane is burned?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

158 L.

Explanation:

What is given?

Pressure (P) = 1 atm.

Temperature (T) = 112 °C + 273 = 385 K.

Mass of methane CH4 (g) = 80.0 g.

Molar mass of methane CH4 = 16 g/mol.

R constant = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K.

What do we need? Volume (V).

Step-by-step solution:

To solve this problem, we have to use ideal gas law: the ideal gas law is a single equation which relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of an ideal gas. The formula is:

PV=nRT.

Where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the constant and T is temperature.

So, let's find the number of moles that are in 80.0 g of methane using its molar mass. This conversion is:

80.0g\text{ CH}_4\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol CH}_4}{16\text{ g CH}_4}=5\text{ moles CH}_4.

So, in this case, n=5.

Now, let's solve for 'V' and replace the given values in the ideal gas law equation:

V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{5\text{ moles }\cdot0.0821\frac{L\cdot atm}{mol\cdot K}\cdot385K}{1\text{ atm}}=158.04\text{ L}\approx158\text{ L.}

The volume would be 158 L.

How many moles of aluminum oxide will be produced from 0.50 mol of oxygen? 4 al + 3 o2 2 al2o3?
LuckyWell [14K]
From the equation;
 4 Al + 3 O2 = 2 Al2O3
The mole ratio of Oxygen is to Aluminium hydroxide is  3:2.
Therefore; moles of Al2O3 is 
 (0.5/3 )× 2 = 0.333 moles
Therefore; The moles of aluminium oxide will be 0.333 moles

What is the mole, and why is it useful in chemistry?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:The mole is important because it allows chemists to work with the subatomic world with macro world units and amounts. Atoms, molecules and formula units are very small and very difficult to work with usually. However, the mole allows a chemist to work with amounts large enough to use.

An isopropyl solution contains 70 ml of isopropyl alcohol in 1.8 L of water. What is the percent by volume of the alcohol
xenn [34]

Answer:

3.74%

Explanation:

We express a solution's volume by volume percent concentration, % v/v,

Take the ratio of the isopropyl alcohol (IPA) volume to the total volume of the solution, which is 1800 mL of water+ 70 mL of IPA,

and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:   70/(1800+70) *100 = 0.0374*100 =  3.74%
