The concentration of solution in M or mol/L can be calculated using the following formula:

C=\frac{n}{V} .... (1)

Here, n is number of moles and V is volume of solution in L.

The molecular formula of potassium sulfate is K_{2}SO_{4} thus, there are 2 moles of potassium in 1 mol of potassium sulfate.

1 mol of potassium will be there in 0.5 mol of potassium sulfate.

Mass of potassium is 4.15 g, molar mass is 39.1 g/mol.

Number of moles can be calculated as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass

Putting the values,

n=\frac{(4.15 g}{(39.1 g/mol}=0.1061 mol

Thus, number of moles of  K_{2}SO_{4} will be 0.1061\times 0.5=0.053 mol.

The volume of solution is 225 mL, converting this into L,

1 mL=10^{-3}L

Thus,

225 mL=0.225 L

Putting the values in equation (1),

C=\frac{(0.053 mol}{0.225 L}=0.236 M

Therefore, concentration of potassium sulfate solution is 0.236 M.

What's the IUPAC name pf this compound? CH3-CH-CH2-CH-CHO | | CH3 CL
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

2-chloro-4-methylpentanal.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the chemical compound:

CH3-CH-CH2-CH-CHO

          |              |

        CH3        Cl

We can see the main functional group is an starting carbonyl, which means this is an aldehyde. Moreover, we can see a Cl-substituent on the second carbon and a methyl substituent on the fourth carbon. Therefore, the IUPAC name turns out: 2-chloro-4-methylpentanal.

Best regards!
