A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. What is the weight/

weight % or percent by mass of the solute? (I got 5.64% but it said it was incorrect, and I can't figure it out?)

Answer:

A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is :

<u>2.67%</u>

Explanation:

Note : Look at the density of potassium nitrate in water if given in the question.

<u><em>You are calculating </em></u><u><em>weight /Volume</em></u><u><em> not weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute</em></u>

Here the <u>weight/weight % or percent by mass</u> of the solute is asked : So first convert the<u> VOLUME OF SOLUTION into MASS</u>

Density of potassium nitrate in water KNO3 = 2.11 g/mL

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

Density = 2.11 g/mL

Volume of solution = 86.4 mL

2.11=\frac{mass}{86.4}

mass = 2.11\times 86.4

mass=182.3grams

Mass of Solute = 4.87 g

Mass of Solution = 183.2 g

w/w% of the solute =

= \frac{mass\ of\ solute}{mass\ of\ solution}\times 100

=\frac{4.87}{183.2}\times 100

w/w%=2.67%

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. It is by the process of photosynthesis that would help counteract with human interactions. The carbon dioxide emitted by human activities can be used by this process to produce more oxygen.

A gas occupies a volume of 30.0L, a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 0.600atm. What will be the volume of the gas at STP?​
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

=16.49 L

Explanation:

Using the equation

P1= 0.6atm V1= 30L, T1= 25+273= 298K, P2= 1atm, V2=? T2= 273

P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

0.6×30/298= 1×V2/273

V2=16.49L

When I2 and FeCl2 are mixed together, iodine (I) cannot replace chlorine (Cl) in the compound because iodine is lower on the per
Nata [24]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation: If this reaction would have occurred, then this reaction would be considered as displacement reaction.

Displacement reactions are the reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element in a chemical reaction. This is based on the reactivity of elements.

Reactivity of elements is the tendency of the elements to gain or loose electrons. The reactivity decreases down the group in a periodic table.

In the given reaction, Iodine and chlorine are the elements of the same group in the periodic table and iodine lies below chlorine in the group. So, the reactivity of iodine is less than the reactivity of chlorine.

Hence, in the given reaction, iodine will not replace chlorine because it lies below in the periodic table.

FeCl_2+I_2\rightarrow \text{No reaction}
