Answer: SOLID WATER(ICE) IS LESS DENSE THAN LIQUID WATER

Explanation:Water molecules are bonded together by Hydrogen bonds, Hydrogen bonds are intermolecular forces binding the molecules of Oxygen with that of Hydrogen. When in an ICE state,the solid form of water will float on the liquid form of water, because the orientation of Hydrogen bonds pushes or makes the Ice molecules to stay far apart from each making it less Dense than liquid water.

Dissolve 30 g of sodium sulphate into 300 mL of water

Aneli [31]

Answer:

number of moles = 0.21120811

Explanation:

To find the number of moles, given the mass of the solute, we use the formula:

$\mathrm{n = \dfrac{ m }{ M } }$

$\mathrm{n = number\:of\:moles\:(mol)}$

$\mathrm{m = mass\:of\:solute\:(g)}$

$\mathrm{M = molar\:mass\:of\:solute\:( \dfrac{ g }{ mol } )}$

Label the variables with the numbers in the problem:

$\mathrm{n =\:?}$

$\mathrm{m =30\:g }$

$\mathrm{M =\:?\:Calculate\:the\:molar\:mass }$

The first thing we have to do is find the molar mass of sodium sulfate, in order for us to use the formula for finding the number of moles:

Formula for finding the molar mass of sodium sulfate:

$M({ \left Na \right }_{ 2 } { \left So \right }_{ 4 }) = m \left( Na \right) +m \left( S \right) +m \left( O \right)$

For the variables and what they mean are below for finding the molar mass of sodium sulfate:

$\mathrm{M =molar\:mass }$

$\mathrm{m =moles=2\:moles\:for\:Na\:,1\:mole\:for\:S,\:and\:4\:moles\:for\:O}$

$\mathrm{Na =sodium=22.99\:g }$

$\mathrm{S =sulfur=32.06\:g }$

$\mathrm{O =oxygen=16.00\:g }$

Plug the numbers into the formula, to find the molar mass of sodium sulfate:

$M({ \left Na \right }_{ 2 } { \left So \right }_{ 4 }) = m \left( Na \right) +m \left( S \right) +m \left( O \right)$

$\mathrm{Substitute\:the\:values\:into\:the\:formula}$

$M = 2 \left( 22.99 \right) +1 \left( 32.06 \right) +4 \left( 16.00 \right)$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:2\:by\:22.99\:to\:get\:45.98\:and\:1\:by\:32.06\:to\:get\:32.06}$

$\mathrm{M = 45.98+32.06+4\:(16)}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:4\:by\:16\:to\:get\:64}$

$\mathrm{M = 45.98+32.06+64}$

$\mathrm{Add\:45.98\:and\:32.06\:to\:get\:78.04}$

$\mathrm{M = 78.04+64}$

$\mathrm{Add\:78.04\:and\:64\:to\:get\:142.04}$

$\mathrm{M = 142.04}$

Now that we have found the molar mass, we can calculate the number of moles in the solution of sodium sulfate with the formula:

$\mathrm{n = \dfrac{ m }{ M } }$

$\mathrm{n =\:?}$

$\mathrm{m =30\:g }$

$\mathrm{M = 142.04\:g/mol}$

$\mathrm{Substitute\:the\:values\:into\:the\:formula}$

$\mathrm{n = \dfrac{ 30 }{ 142.04 }}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:142.04\:by\:30\:to\:get\:0.21120811}$

$\mathrm{n = 0.21120811}$

0.21120811 rounded gives you 0.2112

or if you did the problem without decimals

30 grams of sodium sulfate divided by its molecular weight – which we found to be 142 – gives us a value of 0.2113 moles.

Photochemical chlorination of pentane gave a mixture of three isomeric monochlorides. The principal monochloride constituted 46%

meriva

Answer:

Explanation:

In the chlorination of alkanes, the condition necessary is UV light so free radical substitution can take place. For alkanes like pentane, the primary, secondary and tertiary Hydrogen atoms (Hydrogen atoms bonded to their respective carbon) þare taken into consideration and this is because the tertiary Hydrogen is the most reactive (due to bond dissociation energy) hence the easiest to be substituted. The trend is as follows in the order of their reactivity;

1° < 2° < 3°

So, the products of the chlorination of pentane, the principal monochloride constituted is 3 - chloropentane while the other two monomers are:

2- chloropentane

1- chloropentane

Below is the attachment showing the structural formula of the three monochloride constituted pentane.

Answer:

Explanation:

2C6H6 + 9O2 -> 12CO2 + 6H20

Weight of a CO2 Mol 12+ 16x2 = 44g

In 100g number of moles = 100/44= 2.2727 Moles

Number of C6H6 2moles burned when creating 12 moles of CO2

Therefore 2.2727/12 x 2 = 0.3787

3H2SO4 + 2Al(OH)3 -> Al2(SO4)3 + 6H2O

H2O weight of a 1mol is = 2+16 = 18g

2moles of Al(OH)3 cerates 6 moles of water.

3moles of sulfuric creates 6 moles of water.

5.5moles Al(OH)3 reacts with 5.5 moles of sulfuric

Therefore number of water moles = 5.5/3 x 6 = 11moles

Weight water = 11 x 18 = 198g

Cu + 2AgNO3 -> 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2

1mol of Cu produces 2moles of silver

Ag = 107.86 g/Mol

Cu = 63.54 g/Mol

In 26g Ag number of moles = (26/107.86)/2 x 63.54 = 7.658g

3K2CrO4 + 2AlPO4 -> 2K3PO4 + Al2(CrO4)3

K2CrO4 = 39x2 + 52 + 16x4 = 194g/Mol

Al2(CrO4)3 = 54 + 354 = 408g/Mol

3moles of K2CrO4 creates 1mol of Al2(CrO4)3

Therefore weight of the Al2(CrO4)3 produced by 17.5g potassium chromate

(17.5/194)/3 moles of Al2(CrO4)3 produced = 0.03moles

Al2(CrO4)3 produced = 0.03 x 408 = 12.26g
