Answer:

Option a.

0.01 mol of CaCl₂ will have the greatest effect on the colligative properties, because it has the biggest i

Explanation:

To determine which of the solute is going to have a greatest effect on colligative properties we have to consider the Van't Hoff factor (i)

These are the colligative properties:

ΔP = P° . Xm . i → Lowering vapor pressure

ΔT = Kb . m . i → Boiling point elevation

ΔT = Kf . m . i → Freezing point depression

π = M . R . T → Osmotic pressure

Van't Hoff factor are the numbers of ions dissolved in the solution. For nonelectrolytes, the i values 1.

CaCl₂ and KNO₃ are two ionic solutes. They dissociate as this:

CaCl₂ → Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

We have 1 mol of Ca²⁺ and 2 chlorides, so 3 moles of ions → i = 3

KNO₃ → K⁺ + NO₃⁻

We have 1 mol of K⁺ and 1 mol of nitrate, so 2 moles of ions → i = 2

Option a, is the best.

You are given a food containing 6 g protein per serving (30g), how much of the food you needto add to 100 ml solution to make a

Bas_tet [7]

Hey there!

500 mg of protein is present in 100 mL of solvent as per the concentration 0.5 mg/mL or 500 g/mL ,

So, 250 mg (0.25 g) of serving food need to be added to 100 mL solvent in order to prepare 50 mg of protein/100 mL solution.

Dilution factor = initial amount of protein / final amount of protein

= 6 g / 0.05 g = 120

Hope this helps!

9. Using the balanced equation from Question #8, how many grams of lead will be produced if 2.54 grams of PbS is burned with 1.8

MissTica

Answer: 2.24 grams of Pb

Explanation:

Step 1

Balanced chemical reaction;

2PbS + 3O2 → 2Pb + 2SO3

Step 2

Moles of both PbS and O2

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles of PbS = 2.54 g / 239.3 g/mol = 0.0108 moles

Moles of O2 = 1.88 / 32 g/mol = 0.0588 moles

Step 3

Finding the limiting reactant.

Limiting reactant, is that reactant which is completely used in the reaction;

If we assume that PbS is the limiting reactant;

We have 0.0588 moles of O2. This needs ( 0.0588 * 2) / 3 = 0.0392 moles of PbS to fully react. But we have only 0.0108 moles of PbS available. That means that the PbS will be completely consumed hence the limiting reactant

If we assume O2 is the limiting reactant;

We have 0.0108 moles of PbS. That needs ( 0.0108 * 3) / 2 = 0.0162 moles of O2. But we have 0.0588 moles of O2 which is in excess further confirming that PbS is the limiting reactant since it will be depleted in the reaction.

Step 4

Moles of lead

For this step we apply the mole ratios with the limiting reactant;

Mole ratio of PbS : Pb = 2 : 2 = 1 : 1

Therefore;

Moles of Pb = (0.0108 moles * 1 ) 1

Moles of Pb =0.0108 moles

Step 5

Mass of Pb

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass of Pb =0.0108 moles * 207.2 g/mol

Mass of Pb = 2.24 grams
