Answer:

TRUE: Percent concentration is one of the most common and basic concentration measurement used by general public

Explanation:

In chemistry there are many concentration measurements used to describe the mixtures. Some of them are, percent, molarity, molality, and molar fraction, among others.

Percent concentration is a popular one because it is commonly understood and used by the non specialist people, i.e. general public.

The percent concentration of a component is defined as: (amount of component in the mixture / amount of mixture) × 100.

The amounts may be measured in mass units (e.g grams) or volume units (e.g. mililiters).

For solutions, mass percent concentration is:

% = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100.

And voluem percen contration is:

% = (volume of solute / volume of solution) × 100

Since percentage is used in many profesional and personal activities, most persons use it.

For example, rubbing alcohol, that everyone buys in pharmacies, is 70%; vinager, used in the food, is acetic acid at 5% - 8%.

Limiting Reactant Worksheet

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

a) 1.61 mol

b) Al is limiting reactant

c) HBr is in excess

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of Al = 3.22 mol

Moles of HBr = 4.96 mol

Moles of H₂ formed = ?

What is limiting reactant =

What is excess reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 2HBr → 2AlBr + H₂

Now we will compare the moles:

Al : H₂

2 : 1

3.22 : 1/2×3.22 = 1.61 mol

HBr : H₂

2 : 1

4.96 : 1/2×4.96 = 2.48 mol

The number of moles of H₂ produced by Al are less it will be limiting reactant while HBr is present in excess.

Moles of H₂ :

Number of moles of H₂ = 1.61 mol

A sample of nitrogen gas has the temperature drop from 250.°c to 150.°c at constant pressure. what is the final volume if the in

Leviafan [203]

Charles law gives the relationship between temperature of gas and volume of gas.
It states that for a fixed amount of gas, temperature is directly proportional to volume of gas.
V / T = k
where V- volume , T - temperature and k - constant
$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation.
T1 = 250 °C + 273 = 523 K
T2 = 150 °C + 273 = 423 K
Substituting the values in the equation,

$\frac{310 mL}{523 K} = \frac{V}{423K}$
V = 251 mL
the new volume is 251 mL

What is the net charge of C

sashaice [31]

Explanation:

Sorry, I don't know, but I can tell you that when an atom, or a body, has the same amount of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons), it is said to be electrically neutral. ... The net charge corresponds to the algebraic sum of all the charges that a body possesses.

What is the normal pH range of a Base?

Karolina [17]

Answer:

7.35 - 7.45

Explanation:

The pH scale ranges from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly basic or alkaline). A pH of 7.0, in the middle of this scale, is neutral. Blood is normally slightly basic, with a normal pH range of about 7.35 to 7.45. Usually, the body maintains the pH of blood close to 7.40.
