<u>Answer:</u> The molarity of ethyl alcohol in cough syrup is 1.08 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

(m/m) of ethyl alcohol = 5.0 %

This means that 5 g of ethyl alcohol is present in 100 g of solution.

To calculate volume of solution, we use the equation:

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

Density of solution = 0.9928 g/mL

Mass of solution = 100 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.9928g/mL=\frac{100g}{\text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=100.725mL

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:

Mass of solute (ethyl alcohol) = 5 g

Molar mass of ethyl alcohol = 46.07 g/mol

Volume of solution = 100.725 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{5g\times 1000}{46.07g/mol\times 100.725mL}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=1.08M

Hence, the molarity of ethyl alcohol in cough syrup is 1.08 M

Which one of the following compounds will be least soluble in water?
algol [13]

Water is a polar solvent. Since, 'Like dissolves like' a polar compound will be most soluble in water whereas a non-polar compound will be the least soluble.

The increasing order of polarity for the given organic compounds is:-

CH3OCH3 < CH3NH2 < CH3CHO < CH3CH2OH

Ether is the least polar and hence least soluble in water.

A meteor falls toward Earth's surface. Given that the acceleration due to
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

E = 147000  J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of meteor, m = 50 kg

The altitude of the meteor, h = 300 m

We need to find the potential energy of the meteor. The formula for the potential energy is given by :

E=mgh

Put all the values,

E=50\times 9.8\times 300\\\\E=147000\ J

So, the required potential energy is equal to 147000  J.

Baking soda (NaHCO3) and vinegar (HC2H3O2) react to form sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide. If 42.00 g of baking soda re
Setler [38]

Answer:

0.5 mole of CO₂.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 42 g of baking soda (NaHCO₃). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of NaHCO₃ = 42 g

Molar mass of NaHCO₃ = 23 + 1 + 12 + (16×3)

= 23 + 1 + 12 + 48

= 84 g/mol

Mole of NaHCO₃ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of NaHCO₃ = 42/84

Mole of NaHCO₃ = 0.5 mole

Next, balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

NaHCO₃ + HC₂H₃O₂ → NaC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O + CO₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of NaHCO₃ reacted to produce 1 mole of CO₂

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of CO₂ produced by the reaction of 42 g (i.e 0.5 mole) of NaHCO₃. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of NaHCO₃ reacted to produce 1 mole of CO₂.

Therefore, 0.5 mole of NaHCO₃ will also react to produce 0.5 mole of CO₂.

Thus, 0.5 mole of CO₂ was obtained from the reaction.
