1.64 + 4.66 = 6.3
1.64/6.3 = 0.2603174603 = 26%

Answer : The percentage of salt in the mixture is 73.65 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of salt = 1.64 lb

Mass of water = 4.66 lb

First we have to calculate the mass of mixture.

Mass of mixture = Mass of salt + Mass of water

Mass of mixture = 1.64 + 4.66 = 6.3 lb

Now we have to calculate the percentage of salt in the mixture.

Formula used :

$\% \text{ of salt}=\frac{\text{Mass of salt}}{\text{Mass of mixture}}\times 100$

Now put all the given vales in this formula, we get:

$\% \text{ of salt}=\frac{4.64lb}{6.3lb}\times 100=73.65\%$

Therefore, the percentage of salt in the mixture is 73.65 %

You are trying to determine the specific heat of a metal. You heat the 97 g piece of metal to 100 °C and place it in a calorimet

Brut [27]

Answer : The specific heat of the metal is, $0.658J/g^oC$

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of metal = ?

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of metal = 97 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 122 g

$T_f$ = final temperature of mixture = $28.9^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of metal = $100^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $20.0^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

$97g\times c_1\times (28.9-100)^oC=-122g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (28.9-20.0)^oC$

$c_1=0.658J/g^oC$

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal is, $0.658J/g^oC$

Sucrose is very soluble in water. at 25◦c, 211.4 grams of sucrose will dissolve in 100 g of water. given that the density of the

stiv31 [10]

Molarity of solution is mathematically expressed as,
M = $\frac{x\text{weight of solute(g)}}{\text{Molecular weight X Volume of solution(l)}}$

We know that volume = mass/density
Given: mass of solution = 100 g, Density = 1.34 g/ml
∴ volume = 100/1.34 = 88.49 ml = 0.08849 l

Also, we know that molecular weight of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol
∴M = $\frac{x\text{211.4}}{\text{342.3 X 0.08849}}$
= 6.979 M

Thus, molarity of solution is 6.979 M

Answer:

Dispersion forces

Relative molecular mass

Explanation:

Alkanes experience only dispersion forces. Dispersion forces increase with increasevin the relative molecular mass of the compounds. Hence a higher relative molecular mass implies greater dispersion forces and a greater boiling point.
