A solution is composed of 1.15 mL of diethyl ether (C4H10O, density=0.7134 g/mL) dissolved in 78.85 mL of dichloromethane (CH2Cl
jeka94

Answer:

Molarityof the solution is 0.1375 M.

Explanation:

We will first find the number of moles of diethyl ether (C4H10O)  by finding its molar mass and measured mass.

Molar mass of diethyl ether (C4H10O) = 74.12 g.

Now, volume of diethyl ether (C4H10O) = 1.15 mL and its density = 0.7134 g/mL.

Therefore,  measured mass of diethyl ether (C4H10O) = volume x  density = 1.15 mL x 0.7134 g/mL = 0.82 g.

Now, number of moles of diethyl ether (C4H10O) = \dfrac{Measured \ mass}{ Molar\ mass}= \frac{0.82\ g}{74.12\ g}

= 0.011 Moles.

Volume of the solution = volume of diethyl ether + volume of dichloromethane = 1.15 mL + 78.85 mL = 80 mL.

Now, molarity of the solution = Number of moles of diethyl ether / Volume of the solution( in  mL) x 1000 =  \dfrac {0.011}{80}\times 1000 = 0.1375\ M

What is the difference between a solution and a heterogeneous mixture? What are some examples?
liubo4ka [24]

A solution is a homogenous mixture meaning it has a uniform appearance throughout. (example: salt water)

heterogeneous mixture is visibly composed of different things. (example: chicken noodle soup)

a student is asked to prepare 75.0 ml of a 130M solution of HF using a 2.000M standard solution. Calculate the volume in mL of 2
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Volume required from standard solution = 4675 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Final volume = 75.0 mL

Final molarity = 130 M

Molarity of standard solution = 2.000 M

Volume required from standard solution = ?

Solution:

We use the formula,

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

here,

C₁ = Molarity of standard solution

V₁ = Volume required from standard solution

C₂ = Final molarity

V₂ = Final volume

Now we will put the values in formula,

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

2.000 M × V₁ = 130 M × 75.0 mL

V₁  = 9750 M. mL / 2.000 M

V₁  = 4675 mL

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

≈194.7

Explanation:

(547cm^3/590K) / (V2/210K)

V2 = 194.69 or 194.7

Researchers can use solvents to extract, or break apart, components of a cell or tissue to separate and/or isolate components. I
Tems11 [23]

The cell membrane which is more fat permeable will be present at the end of the process.

Solvent extraction is a very important method if separating mixtures. The principle of solvent extraction is based on the idea of like dissolves like. A substance dissolves in the component of the system in which it is most soluble.

If a cell extract is dissolved in a nonpolar solvent, the cell membrane which is mostly permeable to nonpolar molecules will dissolve most in the solvent.
