<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.

Calculate the experimental specific heat capacity of an object of mass 1.32 kg, given that the object releases 1.95 kJ of heat w
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

0.076 J/gºC.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (M) of object = 1.32 kg

Heat (Q) released = –1.95 kJ

Change in temperature (ΔT) = –19.5°C (decrease in temperature)

Specific heat capacity (C) =?

Next, we shall convert 1.32 kg to grams (g). This can be obtained as follow:

1 kg = 1000 g

Therefore,

1.32 kg = 1.32 kg × 1000 g / 1 kg

1.32 kg = 1320 g

Next, we shall convert –1.95 kJ to joule (J). This can be obtained as follow:

1 kJ = 1000 J

Therefore,

–1.95 kJ = –1.95 kJ × 1000 / 1 kJ

–1.95 kJ = –1950 J

Finally, we shall determine the specific heat capacity of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (M) of object = 1320 g

Heat (Q) released = –1950 J

Change in temperature (ΔT) = –19.5°C (decrease in temperature)

Specific heat capacity (C) =?

Q = MCΔT

–1950 = 1320 × C × –19.5

–1950 = –25740 × C

Divide both side by –25740

C = –1950 / –25740

C = 0.076 J/gºC

Thus, the specific heat capacity of the object is 0.076 J/gºC.

What is sodium + oxygen when doing ionic bonds
Marta_Voda [28]

When burning sodium (Na) in oxygen (O2), you get sodium oxide (Na2O) and/or sodium peroxide (Na2O2). At high pressures, you can additionally get sodium superoxide (NaO2).

4 Na + O2 → 2 Na2O, and then partially 2 Na2O + O2 → 2 Na2O2.

Under normal conditions, approximately 20% of the mixture is Na2O2.

6 Na + 2 O2 → 2 Na2O + Na2O2

hope it helps

A student notices that after two chemicals are mixed together the temperature of the mixture is higher than the temperature of t
swat32

Answer: exothermic

EXPLANATION: any process in which heat energy is released is called an exothermic process. For example burning of wood produces heat, so combustion of wood is an exothermic process.

When chemicals were not mixed they were at room temperature and when we mix them exothermic reaction took place and heat was released which raised the temperature of mixture.

8. A. Density is independent of size (an intensive property).
9. B. The highest density is 1786 g/20cm^3, or 89.3 g/cm^3. The least is 512 g/20cm^3, or 25.6 g/cm^3. Therefore, the difference is 89.3 - 25.6, or 63.7 g/cm^3.
10. C. A bottle filled with air weighs less than one filled with marshmallows, because air is less dense than marshmallows.
11. D. The number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom, as well as the atomic number of the element.
12. C. The number represents the atomic mass of the element, which is determined based on the relative abundance of each form of the element.
