A 0.610 m aqueous solution of kbr has a total mass of 75.0 g. what masses of solute and solvent are present?

1 answer:

8 0

To determine the masses of each component, we need to know the concentration first in terms of molality which is mol per mass of solution. Assuming the density of the solution is equal to that of water we would find:

molality = 0.160 mol KBr / L ( 1 L / 1 kg solution ) = 0.160 mol KBr / kg solution

mass KBr = 0.160 mol KBr / kg solution (.0750 kg solution ) ( 119 g KBr / mol KBr ) = 1.428 g KBr

mass solvent = 75 - 1.428 = 73.572 g water

The question is incomplete, here is a complete question.

An arctic weather balloon is filled with 27.8 L of helium gas inside a prep shed. The temperature inside the shed is 13 ⁰C. The balloon is then taken outside, where the temperature is -9 ⁰C. Calculate the new volume of the balloon. You may assume the pressure on the balloon stays constant at exactly 1 atm. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer : The new volume of the balloon is 25.7 L

Explanation :

Charles's Law : It is defined as the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

$V\propto T$

or,

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 27.8 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $13^oC=273+13=286K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = $-9^oC=273+(-9)=264K$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{27.8L}{286K}=\frac{V_2}{264K}$

$V_2=25.7L$

Therefore, the new volume of the balloon is 25.7 L

The formula for water is H20. What does the formula H2O tell us about the composition of water?

Llana [10]

H2O is the chemical formula of water. It means that each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms, indicated by the letter H, and a single oxygen atom, represented by the O. Water is a chemical substance with no smell, taste, or color.

A compound is 40.0% c, 6.70% h, and 53.3% o by mass. assume that we have a 100.-g sample of this compound. the molecular formula

atroni [7]

When you have 100 g of compound, then based on the percentages given, there are 40.0 g C, 6.70 g H, and 53.3 g O. Convert those to moles:

C: 40.0 g / 12.0 = 3.33 moles of C
H: 6.70 g / 1.01 = 6.63 moles of H 
O: 53.3 / 16.0 = 3.33 moles of O

Dividing by the smallest (3.33), we get a C:H:O mole ratio of 1:2:1
So, The empirical formula is CH2O.
Now, That formula has a molar mass of [12.0 + 2(1.0) + 16.0] = 30.0

And we are given it's molar mass is = 240

So, no. of units of CH2O = 240 / 30 = 8

8 x CH2O = C8H16O8, and that is the molecular formula.

$C_8H_{16}O_8$
