The primary reason that large numbers of people left Ireland in the 1840s and 1850s was MASS STARVATION.

Great Famine or Great Hunger was a period in Ireland where mass starvation, diseases, and emigration occurred between 1845 to 1852.

The Great Famine was caused by Phytophthora infestans, a disease that infests in potatoes. Though the potato infestation spread throughout Europe, it greatly affected Ireland, where 1/3 of its population was dependent on the potato crop as their primary source of food.

The loss of their primary source of food led to mass starvation, sickness, and eventual death. Others opted to leave Ireland and seek shelter and food in other countries to survive.

(a) Calculate the mass of CaCl2·6H2O needed to prepare 0.125 m CaCl2(aq) by using 500. g of water. (b) What mass of NiSO4·6H2O m

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

(a) 13.7 g.

(b) 28.91 g.

Explanation:

molality (m) is the no. of moles of solute dissolved in 1.0 kg of solvent.

∴ m = (no. of moles of solute)/(mass of water (kg))

∴ m = (mass/molar mass of solute)/(mass of water (kg)).

(a) Calculate the mass of CaCl₂·6H₂O needed to prepare 0.125 m CaCl₂(aq) by using 500. g of water.

∵ m = (mass/molar mass of CaCl₂·6H₂O)/(mass of water (kg)).

m = 0.125 m, molar mass of CaCl₂·6H₂O = 219.0757 g/mol, mass of water = 500.0 g = 0.5 kg.

∴ 0.125 m = (mass of CaCl₂·6H₂O / 219.0757 g/mol)/(0.5 kg).

∴ mass of CaCl₂·6H₂O = (0.125 m)(219.0757 g/mol)(0.5 kg) = 13.7 g.

(b) What mass of NiSO₄·6H₂O must be dissolved in 500. g of water to produce 0.22 m NiSO₄(aq)?

∵ m = (mass/molar mass of NiSO₄·6H₂O)/(mass of water (kg)).

m = 0.22 m, molar mass of NiSO₄·6H₂O = 262.84 g/mol, mass of water = 500.0 g = 0.5 kg.

∴ 0.125 m = (mass of NiSO₄·6H₂O / 262.84 g/mol)/(0.5 kg).

∴ mass of NiSO₄·6H₂O = (0.22 m)(262.84 g/mol)(0.5 kg) = 28.91 g.

Select the properly written and balanced equation for the following chemical reaction: Sodium metal and an aqueous solution of m

Setler [38]

Answer: $2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)$

Explanation: The chemical reaction is written by writing down the chemical formulas of the reactants on the left hand side and the chemical formulas of products on the right hand side separated by a right arrow.

This is a single displacement reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus sodium is more reactive than Mg and thus displaces it from $MgI_2$ .

$2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)$

The number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the reaction so as to follow the law of conservation of mass. Thus the equation is balanced.

Water and carbon dioxide are both made of 3 atoms True or false

Carbohydrates are biological molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of roughly one carbon atom (

Ostart text, H, end text, start subscript, 2, end subscript, start text, O, end text). This composition gives carbohydrates their name: they are made up of carbon (carbo-) plus water (-hydrate). Carbohydrate chains come in different lengths, and biologically important carbohydrates belong to three categories: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
