Parantheses mean present of a subgroup or a group of polyatomic ions in a chemical reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a chemical reaction, sometimes, a compound may be composed of group of polyatomic ions with other ions. Some of the polyatomic ions are sulfate, carbonate, nitrate, hydroxide, bicarbonate, ammonia etc.

So these polyatomic ions are formed by combining two or more elements. Thus, if the number of polyatomic ions in a compound is more than one, then we use parathesis and write those polyatomic ions in it and write the number of polyatomic ions present in the compound as subscript of the parathesis.

For example, Fe₂(SO₄)₃

So here SO₄ is a polyatomic ion and in the compound 3 atoms of SO₄ is required to neutralize the compound and thus paranthesis is used. Thus, parantheses mean present of a subgroup or a group of polyatomic ions in a chemical reaction.

1)

<span>m(NaCl) = 1.95 g
V(H2O) = 250mL
M(NaCl) = </span><span>58.5 g/mole

Since waters density value is 1g/mL, it can be assumed that volume and mass of water are same values:

</span>V(H2O) = 250ml = 250g = 0.25 kg<span>

</span><span>molality of NaCl:
</span><span>
n(NaCl)=m/M=1.95/58.5= 0.033 mole

</span>molality b(NaCl)=n(NaCl) / V (H2O)= 0.033/0.25 = 0.132 mol/kg
<span>
milimolality of NaOH = 0.132/0,001 = 132 mmole/kg
</span>
milliosmolality of NaOH = milimolality x N of ions formed in dissociation

Since NaCl dissociates into 2 ions in solution:
<span>                                        
</span>milliosmolality of NaOH = 132 x 2 = 264  osmol<span>es/kg
</span>
2)

m(gl) = 9 g
V(H2O) = 250mL
M(NaCl) = 180 g/mole

Since waters density value is 1g/mL, it can be assumed that volume and mass of water are same values:

V(H2O) = 250ml = 250g = 0.25 kg

molality of glucose:

n(gl)=m/M=9/180= 0.05 mole

molality b(gl)=n(gl) / V (H2O)= 0.05/0.25 = 0.2 mol/kg

milimolality of glucose = 0.132/0,001 = 200 mmole/kg

milliosmolality of glucose = milimolality x N of ions formed in dissociation

Since glucose does not dissociate, milimolality and milliosmolality are same:
                                        
milliosmolality of glucose = 200 osmoles/kg

3)

The osmosis represents the diffusion of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane that allows passage solvent molecules but does not to the dissolved substance molecule. The osmosis occurs when the concentrations of the solution on both sides of the membrane are different. Since the semi-permeable membrane only permeates the solvent molecules, but not the particles of the dissolved substance, it occurs the solvent diffusion through the membrane, i.e. the solvent molecules pass through the membrane to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane. Solvents molecules move from the middle with a lower concentration in the middle with a higher concentration of dissolved substances.

In our case, osmosis will occur because the concentration of NaCl solution and the concentration of glucose solution do not have same values. Osmosis will occur in the direction of glucose solution because it has a lower concentration.

What is the volume, in liters, of 1.40 mol of oxygen gas at 20.0°C and 0.974 atm?
topjm [15]

Answer:

V = 34.55 L

Explanation:

Given that,

No of moles, n = 1.4

Temperature, T = 20°C = 20 + 273 = 293 K

Pressure, P = 0.974 atm

We need to find the volume of the gas. It can be calculated using Ideal gas equation which is :

PV=nRT

R is gas constant, R=0.08206\ L-atm/mol-K

Finding for V,

V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.4\times 0.08206\times 293}{0.974 }\\\\V=34.55\ L

So, the volume of the gas is 34.55 L.
