What is the mole fraction of solute and the molal concentration for an aqueous solution that is 20.0% NaOH by mass?

8 0
Let's assume we have 100 grams of this solution, and therefore 20.0 grams of NaOH, and 80.0 grams of water.

NaOH has a molar mass of 40.00 grams/mole, so we can convert NaOH to moles: (20.0 grams of NaOH) * (1 mole NaOH/40.00 grams NaOH) = 0.500 moles NaOH.

Next, we have a molar mass of water of 18.02 g/mol, so we can convert water to moles:

80.0 grams H2O * (1 mole H2O/18.02 grams) = 4.44 moles H2O
The mole fraction of NaOH is the moles of NaOH over the total moles of all parts of the solution. Therefore:

(0.500 moles NaOH)/(0.500 moles + 4.44 moles) = 0.101
0.101 = mole fraction of solute

The molal concentration is defined as the number of moles of solute over the number of kilograms of solvent (water).
We have 0.500 moles of NaOH, and 0.0800 kg of water, so it becomes:
(0.500 moles NaOH)/(0.0800 kg H2O solvent) = 6.25 molal solution

Would you expect an organic compound to be soluble in water why
RSB [31]

Answer: All organic compound depends on  H-bonding with water. more stronger H-bonding with water more will be soluble.

Explanation:

1. It depends primarily upon the function groups of that compound. It also depends on the size of the compound.  

2. some organic compound which soluble in water for example: alcohols, ethers, carboxylic acids.  Because of the functional groups attached to the organic structure (the C-H backbone) are what effect the solubilities.Like carboxylic acids and alcohols form hydrogen bonds with the water, helping to solubilize it.  

3. Take alcohols for example: methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol are all completely soluble in water. By the time you get to butanol and some of the larger alcohols, including those with more complex structures, they tend to be less soluble.

What is the average rate of formation of i2? express your answer to three decimal places and include the appropriate units. view
Klio2033 [76]
Missing question:
Chemical reaction: H₂ <span>+ 2ICl → 2HCl + I</span>₂.
t₁ = 5 s.
t₂ = 15 s.
c₁ = 1,11 M = 1,11 mol/L.
c₂ = 1,83 mol/L.
rate of formation = Δc ÷ Δt.
rate of formation = (c₂ - c₁) ÷ (t₂ - t₁).
rate of formation = (1,83 mol/L - 1,11 mol/L) ÷ (15 s - 5 s).
rate of formation = 0,72 mol/L ÷ 10 s.
rate of formation = 0,072 mol/L·s.

PLSSS HELP MEE 100 POINTS!!!!!!! How many atoms of each element does magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, contain? Magnesium = 1 atom,
Basile [38]

It would be Magnesium = 1 atom, Oxygen = 2 atoms, Hydrogen = 2 atoms. It has 5 atoms total. There is 1 magnesium and you multiply each element by the the 2 outside the parenthesis to get 2 oxygen and 2 hydrogen.
