Answer:

Mole fraction of water = 0.88

Mole fraction of \chi_{C_{3}H_{7}OH} = 0.12

Explanation:

30% C_{3}H_{7}OH means 30 g of C_{3}H_{7}OH is present in 100 g of solution.

70% H_{2}O(water) means 70 g of water is present in 100 g of solution

n=\frac{given\ mass}{molar\ mass}

<u>Calculation of MOLES</u>

Molar mass of  H_{2}O = 18 g/mol

n_{water}=\frac{70}{18}

n_{water} = 3.89\ moles

<u>moles of water</u><u> = </u><u>3.89 moles</u>

Molar mass of  C_{3}H_{7}OH = 3(12) + 7(1) + 1(16) +1(1)

                                                                  = 36 +7+16+1

molar mass of C_{3}H_{7}OH = 60 g/mol

n_{C_{3}H_{7}OH}=\frac{30}{60}

n_{C_{3}H_{7}OH} = 0.5\ moles

<u>moles of</u><u> C_{3}H_{7}OH = </u><u>0.5 moles </u>

<u>total moles of solution = </u><u>0.5 + 3.89</u><u> = 4.39 moles</u>

<u>Calculation of MOLE FRACTION</u>

Formula for mole fraction is :

\chi=\frac{moles\ of\ solute}{moles\ of\ solution}

\chi_{water}=\frac{moles\ of\ water}{Total\ moles}

\chi_{water}=\frac{3.89}{4.39}

\chi_{water}= 0.88

Similarly,

\chi_{C_{3}H_{7}OH} = \frac{moles\ of\ C_{3}H_{7}OH}{Total\ moles}

\chi_{C_{3}H_{7}OH} = \frac{0.5}{4.39}

\chi_{C_{3}H_{7}OH} = \frac{0.5}{4.39}

\chi_{C_{3}H_{7}OH} = 0.12

<u>Mole fraction of water = 0.88</u>

<u>Mole fraction of </u><u>\chi_{C_{3}H_{7}OH}</u><u> = 0.12</u>

Note :

\chi_{C_{3}H_{7}OH} + \chi_{H_{2}O} = 1

Nyatakan tiga bentuk bagi atom karbon dan perbezaan ringkas diantara ketiga-tiga atom karbon tersebut
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Berlian, grafit dan fullerenes.

Penjelasan:

Tiga bentuk atom karbon adalah berlian, grafit dan fullerenes. Ketiga-tiga atom karbon ini adalah bentuk atom karbon allotrophic. Perbezaan utama antara atom karbon adalah berikut:

Ketiga-tiga bentuk allotrophic mempunyai sifat kimia yang sama tetapi sifat fizikalnya berbeza antara satu sama lain. Berlian adalah yang paling sukar sementara grafit lembut. Dalam berlian, satu atom karbon berkongsi elektron dengan empat atom karbon yang lain sementara dalam grafit, satu atom karbon berkongsi elektron dengan tiga atom karbon dan fulleren adalah atom di mana satu atom karbon dihubungkan dengan beberapa atom karbon melalui ikatan kovalen. Ketiga-tiga atom karbon padat pada suhu bilik.

What is the product of the first beta decay in this series?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

B)

An atom has a mass number of 9 and 5 neutrons. What is its atomic number?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

It should be 4

The mass is 9

There are 5    neutrons

There are 9 - 5 = 4 protons

So it is the 4th element on the periodic table.
