Answer: 0.4M

Explanation:

Given that,

Amount of moles of NaOH (n) = ?

Mass of NaOH in grams = 40.0g

For molar mass of NaOH, use the atomic masses: Na = 23g; O = 16g; H = 1g

NaOH = (23g + 16g + 1g)

= 40g/mol

Since, n = mass in grams / molar mass

n = 40.0g / 40.0g/mol

n = 1 mole

Volume of NaOH solution (v) = 2.5 L

Concentration of NaOH solution (c) = ?

Since concentration (c) is obtained by dividing the amount of solute dissolved by the volume of solvent, hence

c = n / v

c = 1 mole / 2.5 L

c = 0.4 mol/L (Concentration in mol/L is the same as Molarity, M)

Thus, the concentration of a solution of a 40.0 g of NaOH in 2.5 L of solution is 0.4 mol/L or 0.4M

A LA TEMPERATURA DE 35°C, UNA MUESTRA DE DIOXIDO DE CARBONO OCUPA UN VOLUMEN DE 350 ML. ¿Qué CAMBIO DE VOLUMEN SE PRODUCIRA SI L

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

New volume = 150 mL

Explanation:

Initial temperature, T₁ = 35°C

Initial volume, V₁ = 350 mL

We need to find the change in volume when the temperature drops to 15°C.

The relation between the temperature and the volume is given by Charle's law. Let new volume is V₂. It can be given by :

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{350\times 15}{35}\\\\V_2=150\ mL$

So, the new volume is 150 mL.

The decomposition of in solution in carbon tetrachloride is a first-order reaction: The rate constant at a given temperature is

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

The rate constant is missing in question, but use C(final) = C(initial)e^-kt = 0.200M(e^-k·10). Fill in k and compute => remaining concentration of reactant

Consider a voltaic cell where the anode half-reaction is Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2 e− and the cathode half-reaction is Sn2+(aq) + 2 e

notsponge [240]

Answer: The concentration of $Sn^{2+}$ in the cell is $9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation:

We are given:

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V$

Reduction half reaction: $Sn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Sn(s)$ $E^o_{Sn^{2+}/Sn}=-0.136V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, fluorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Here, tin will undergo reduction reaction and will get reduced.

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E^o_{cell}=-0.136-(-0.76)=0.624V$

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Mn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}$

where,

$E_{cell}$ = electrode potential of the cell = 0.660 V

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.624 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

$[Zn^{2+}]=2.5\times 10^{-3}M$

$[Sn^{2+}]$ = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.660=0.624-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}}{[Sn^{2+}})$

$[Sn^{2+}]=9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

Hence, the concentration of $Sn^{2+}$ ions is $9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

SOMEONE PLS HELP ME ITS URGENT

Simora [160]

If copper is heated with iron oxide there is no obvious reaction because

copper is less reactive than iron.

On a reactivity chart, copper is far below iron. This makes it impossible for a replacement reaction to occur, so the equation doesn't change.

I hope I helped!

Calculate the molality of a solution prepared by dissolving 175 g of KNO3 in 750 g of water. (round to nearest hundreth)

Wittaler [7]

We will get the molality from this formula:
Molality = no.of moles of solute / Kg of solvent

So first we need the no.of moles of KNO3 = the mass of KNO3 / molar mass of KNO3
no.of moles of KNO3 = 175 / 101.01 = 1.73 mol
By substitution in the molality formula:
∴ molality = 1.73 / (750/1000) = 2.3 Molal
