What is the mole fraction of ethanol in a solution made by dissolving 29.2 g of ethanol, C2H5OH, in 53.6 g of water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ANEK [815]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Mole fraction ethanol = 0.175

Explanation:

Mole fraction ethanol = Moles of ethanol / Total moles

Total moles = moles of ethanol + moles of water.

Moles of ethanol → 29.2 g . 1 mol / 46 g = 0.635 moles

Moles of water → 53.6 g . 1 mol / 18 g = 2.98 moles

Total moles → 0.635 mol + 2.98 mol = 3.615 moles

Mole fraction ethanol = 0.635 / 3.615 = 0.175

<u>Remember</u>: Mole fraction has no units

What is the study of acid-base chemistry called in the environment
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

An acid is a substance that donates protons (in the Brønsted-Lowry definition) or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond (in the Lewis definition). A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond. Bases can be thought of as the chemical opposite of acids.

An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

a) a0 was 46.2 grams

b) It will take 259 years

c) The fossil is 1845 years old

Explanation:

<em>An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago?</em>

A = A0 * (1/2)^(t/h)

⇒ with A = the final amount = 46.2 grams

⇒ A0 = the original amount

⇒ t = time = 8 hours

⇒ h = half-life time = 3.2 hours

46.2 = Ao*(1/2)^(8/3.2)

Ao = 261.35 grams

<em>Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors. It is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 432 years. How long will it take in years for 34.0% of an Am-241 sample to decay?</em>  

t = (ln(0.66))-0.693) * 432 = 259 years

It will take 259 years

<em>A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 80% that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. How old is the fossil?</em>

<em />

t = (ln(0.80))-0.693) * 5730 = 1845

The fossil is 1845 years old

The reaction below will occur in a gaseous system at STP:
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

V = 12.5 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of NO = 15.0 L

Temperature and pressure = standard

Volume of nitrogen gas produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

6NO + 4NH₃    →     5N₂ + 6 H₂O

Number of moles of NO:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 1 atm × 15.0 L / 0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 273.15 K

n = 15.0 atm.L / 22.43 atm.L /mol

n = 0.67 mol

now we will compare the moles of No and nitrogen gas.

              NO           :         N₂

               6             :          5

              0.67         :         5/6×0.67 = 0.56

Volume of nitrogen gas:

 PV = nRT

1 atm × V = 0.56 mol ×  0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 273.15 K

V = 12.5 atm.L / 1 atm

V = 12.5 L
