What does the absolute magnitude of a star depend on?

1 answer:

8 0

C. Distance from Earth

The observed brightness of a star (the apparent magnitude) to an absolute magnitude, you need to know the distance [d], to the star. Alternatively, if we know the distance and the apparent magnitude [m] of a star, we can calculate its absolute magnitude [d].

A 3.140 molal solution of NaCl is prepared. How many grams of NaCl are present in a sample containing 2.692 kg of water

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

494.49 g of NaCl.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Molality of NaCl = 3.140 m

Mass of water = 2.692 kg

Mass of NaCl =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of NaCl in the solution.

Molality is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit kilogram of solvent. Mathematically, it is expressed as

Molality = mole of solute /Kg of solvent

With the above formula, we can obtain the number of mole NaCl in the solution as follow:

Molality of NaCl = 3.140 m

Mass of water = 2.692 kg

Mole of NaCl =..?

Molality = mole of solute /Kg of solvent

3.140 = mole of NaCl /2.692

Cross multiply

Mole of NaCl = 3.140 x 2.692

Mole of NaCl = 8.45288 moles

Finally, we shall covert 8.45288 moles of NaCl to grams. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of NaCl = 8.45288 moles

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol

Mass of NaCl =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

8.45288 = mass of NaCl /58.5

Cross multiply

Mass of NaCl = 8.45288 × 58.5

Mass of NaCl = 494.49 g.

Therefore, 494.49 g of NaCl are present in the solution.

Assuming that an acetic acid solution is 12% by mass and that the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL, what volume of 1 M NaOH

Doss [256]

Explanation:

Let us assume that total mass of the solution is 100 g. And, as it is given that acetic acid solution is 12% by mass which means that mass of acetic acid is 12 g and 88 g is the water.

Now, calculate the number of moles of acetic acid as its molar mass is 60 g/mol.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{12 g}{60 g/mol}$

= 0.2 mol

Molarity of acetic acid is calculated as follows.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

1 g/ml = $\frac{100 g}{volume}$

volume = 100 ml

Hence, molarity = $\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}$

= $\frac{0.2 mol}{0.1 L}$

= 2 mol/l

As reaction equation for the given reaction is as follows.

$NaOH + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COONa + H_{2}O$

So, moles of NaOH = moles of acetic acid

Let us suppose that moles of NaOH are "x".

$x \times 1 M = 10 mL \times 2 M$ (as 1 L = 1000 ml)

x = 20 L

Thus, we can conclude that volume of NaOH required is 20 ml.

Calculate the molarity and normality of 5.7 g of Ca(OH)2 in 450 mL of solution.

Kisachek [45]

The molarity and normality of 5.7 g of Ca(OH)2 in 450ml 0f solution is calculated as follows

molarity = moles/volume in liters
moles =mass/molar mass
= 5.7g/74g/mol = 0.077moles
molarity = 0.077/450 x1000= 0.17M

Normality = equivalent point x molarity
equivalent point of Ca(OH)2 is 2 since it has two Hydrogen atom

normality is therefore = 0.17 x2 = 0.34 N
