The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A solution contains 0.115 mol  H_2O and an unknown number of moles of sodium chloride. The vapor pressure of the solution at  30°C  is 25.7 torr. The vapor pressure of pure water at this temperature is 31.8 torr. Calculate the number of grams of sodium chloride in the solution. (Hint: Remember that sodium chloride is a strong electrolyte.)

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of sodium chloride in the solution is 0.714 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be:

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times \chi_{\text{solute}}

where,  

p^o = vapor pressure of solvent (water) = 31.8 torr

p^s = vapor pressure of the solution = 25.7 torr

i = Van't Hoff factor = 2

\chi_{\text{solute}} = mole fraction of solute (sodium chloride) = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{31.8-25.7}{31.8}=2\times \chi_{NaCl}\\\\\chi_{NaCl}=0.0959

Mole fraction of a substance is calculated by using the equation:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

\chi_{\text{NaCl}}=\frac{n_{\text{NaCl}}}{n_{\text{NaCl}}+n_{\text{water}}}

We are given:

Moles of water = 0.115 moles

0.0959=\frac{n_{\text{NaCl}}}{n_{\text{NaCl}}+0.115}\\\\n_{\text{NaCl}}=0.0122mol

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of NaCl = 0.0122 moles

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0122mol=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{58.5g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of NaCl}(0.0122mol\times 58.5g/mol)=0.714g

Hence, the mass of sodium chloride in the solution is 0.714 grams

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

CN^- is a strong field ligand

Explanation:

The complex, hexacyanoferrate II is an Fe^2+ specie. Fe^2+ is a d^6 specie. It may exist as high spin (paramagnetic) or low spin (diamagnetic) depending on the ligand. The energy of the d-orbitals become nondegenerate upon approach of a ligand. The extent of separation of the two orbitals and the energy between them is defined as the magnitude of crystal field splitting (∆o).

Ligands that cause a large crystal field splitting such as CN^- are called strong field ligands. They lead to the formation of diamagnetic species. Strong field ligands occur towards the end of the spectrochemical series of ligands.

Hence the complex, Fe(CN)6 4− is diamagnetic because the cyanide ion is a strong field ligand that causes the six d-electrons present to pair up in a low spin arrangement.

A company is testing drinking water and wants to ensure that ca content is below 155 ppm. What is the maximum amount of Ca that
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

138 mg

Explanation:

A company is testing drinking water and wants to ensure that Ca content is below 155 ppm (= 155 mg/kg), that is, <em>155 milligrams of calcium per kilogram of drinking water</em>. We need to find the maximum amount of calcium in 890 g of drinking water.

Step 1: Convert the mass of drinking water to kilograms.

We will use the relation 1 kg = 1000 g.

890g \times \frac{1kg}{1000g} =0.890kg

Step 2: Calculate the maximum amount of calcium in 0.890 kg of drinking water

0.890gH_2O \times \frac{155mgCa}{1kgH_2O} = 138mgCa
