What is the mass of the solution when 1 pound of salt is dissolved in 20 pounds of water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kotykmax [81]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The dissolution of salt in water is basically a physical process and the law of conservation of mass which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed applies. The mass of each component before dissolution will be same after dissolution.

When one pound of salt is dissolved in 20 pounds of water, the resulting solution will weigh 1+20 pounds.

mass of solution = mass of salt + mass of water

   = 1+20

mass of solution = 21 pounds

Have a nice day

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction: Mg + HCl > H2 + MgCl2 ?​
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Chemical equation:

Mg + HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

24 g + 36.5 g = 2 g+ 95 g

60.5 g = 97 g

The reaction does not hold the law of conservation of mass, because it is not balanced.

Balanced chemical equation:

Mg + 2HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

24 g + 73 g = 2 g+ 95 g

97 g = 97 g

this equation completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

If a student mixes 75 mL of 1.30 M HNO3 and 150 mL of 6.5 M NaOH. is the final solution acidic, basic, or neutral
raketka [301]

Answer:

The solution is basic.

Explanation:

We can determine the nature of the solution via determining which has the large no. of millimoles (acid or base):

  • If no. of millimoles of acid > that of base; the solution is acidic.
  • If no. of millimoles of acid = that of base; the solution is neutral.
  • If no. of millimoles of acid < that of base; the solution is basic.

  • We need to calculate the no. of millimoles of acid and base:

no. of millimoles of acid (HNO₃) = MV = (1.3 M)(75.0 mL) = 97.5 mmol.

no. of millimoles of base (NaOH) = MV = (6.5 M)(150.0 mL) = 975.0 mmol.

<em>∴ The no. of millimoles of base (NaOH) is larger by 10 times than the acid (HNO₃).</em>

<em>So, the solution is: basic.</em>
