As the metal rusts it expands increasing its mass therefore increasing the weight.

Because the rusty nail had the combined mass of the original nail along with oxidized substances. since your adding something that exists to the mass your mass will be greater.

yuradex [85]

Answer:

You need 8,324 g of CaCl₂ yo make this solution

Explanation:

Molarity is a way to express concentration in a solution, in units of moles of solute per liter of solution.

To know the grams of CaCl₂ it is necessary to know, first, the moles of this substance with the desired volume and concentration , thus:

0,1500 L × $\frac{0,500 mol}{L}$ = 0,075 CaCl₂ moles

Now, with the molar mass of CaCl₂ you will obtain the necessary grams, thus:

0,075 CaCl₂ moles × $\frac{110,98 g}{mol}$ = 8,324 g of CaCl₂

So, you need <em>8,324 g of CaCl₂</em> to make 150,0 mL of a 0,500M solution

I hope it helps!

A CaCl2 solution is given to increase blood levels of calcium. If a patient receives 6.1 mL of a 12 % (m/v) CaCl2 solution, how

Yuliya22 [10]

Mass of CaCl₂ = 0.732 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight / volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.

$\tt \%(m/v)\rightarrow 12\%=\dfrac{mass~CaCl_2}{volume~of~solution}\times 100\%\\\\mass~CaCl_2=12\%\times 6.1\div 100\%\\\\mass~CaCl_2=0.732~g$

This is a dumb question but does smelling shapies make you lose brain cells?

nadezda [96]

Yes, Sharpies contain volatile solvents—and when inhaled these solvents can produce a "high." The effects of inhalants (including Sharpies) can be similar to those of alcohol and include slurred speech, lack of coordination, euphoria, and dizziness.
