<u>Answer:</u> The molality and molarity of zinc in the solution is 4.07 m and 28.11 M respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Solute is the substance which is present in smaller proportion in a mixture and solvent is the substance which is present in larger proportion in a mixture.

We are given:

(m/m) % of Cu = 79 %

This means that 79 g of copper is present in 100 grams of alloy.

(m/m) % of Zn = 21 %

This means that 21 g of zinc is present in 100 grams of alloy.

As, zinc is present in smaller proportion. So, it is solute and copper is the solvent.

  • <u>Calculating molality of zinc:</u>

To calculate molality of the zinc, we use the equation:

Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}

where,

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (Zinc ) = 21 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (Zinc) = 65.3 g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (copper) = 79 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molality of Zinc}=\frac{21\times 1000}{65.3\times 79}\\\\\text{Molality of zinc}=4.07m

  • <u>Calculating molarity of zinc:</u>

To calculate volume of a substance, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of solution = 8740kg/m^3=\frac{8740kg\frac{1000g}{1kg}}{1m^3\times \frac{10^6cm^3}{1m^3}}=\frac{8740g}{1000cm^3}=8.740g/cm^3

(Conversion factors used are:  1 kg = 1000 g &  1m^3=10^6cm^3  )

Mass of solution = 100 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

8.740g/cm^3=\frac{100.0g}{\text{Volume of zinc}}\\\\\text{Volume of zinc}=11.44cm^3

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

We are given:

Molar mass of zinc = 65.3 g/mol

Volume of solution = 11.44cm^3=11.44mL     (Conversion factor:  1cm^3=1mL  )

Mass of zinc = 21.0 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of zinc}=\frac{21\times 1000}{65.3\times 11.44}=28.11M

Hence, the molality and molarity of zinc in the solution is 4.07 m and 28.11 M respectively.

What is the molar mass of a gas if 0.281 g of the gas occupies a volume of 125 ml at a temperature 126 °c and a pressure of 777
AleksAgata [21]
<em>Answer :</em> 72.05 g/mol
<span>
<em>Explanation : </em>

Let's </span>assume that the given gas is an ideal gas. Then we can use ideal gas equation,<span>
PV = nRT<span>
</span>
Where, 
P = Pressure of the gas (Pa)
V = volume of the gas (m³)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = Universal gas constant (8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹)<span>
T = temperature in Kelvin (K)
<span>
The given data for the gas </span></span>is,<span>
P = 777 torr = 103591 Pa
V = </span>125 mL = 125 x 10⁻⁶ m³<span>
T = (</span>126 + 273<span>) = 399 K
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
n = ?

By applying the formula,
103591 Pa x  </span>125 x 10⁻⁶ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 399 K<span>
                                          n = 3.90 x 10</span>⁻³<span> mol

</span>Moles (mol) = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol)<span>

Mass of the gas = </span><span>0.281 g
</span>Moles of the gas = 3.90 x 10⁻³ mol
<span>Hence,
   molar mass of the gas = mass / moles
                                          = 0.281 g / </span>3.90 x 10⁻³ mol
<span>                                          = 72.05 g/mol
