Hello!

We have the following data:

m1 (solute mass) = 20 % m/m
M1 (Molar mass of solute) (NH4)2 SO4 = ?
m2 (mass of the solvent) = ? (in Kg)

First we find the solute mass (m1), knowing that:

20% m/m = 20g/100mL

20 ------ 100 mL (0,1 L)
y g --------------- 1 L

y = 20/0,1 
y = 200 g --> m1 = 200 g

Let's find Solute's Molar Mass, let's see:

M1 of (Nh4)2SO4
N = 2*14 = 28
H = (2*4)*1 = 8
S = 1*32 = 32
O = 4*16 = 64
----------------------
M1 of (Nh4)2SO4 = 28+8+32+64 => M1 = 132 g/mol

We must find the volume of the solvent and therefore its mass (m2), let us see:

d = 1,117 g/mL
m = 200 g
v (volumen of solute) = ?

d =  \dfrac{m}{V} \to V =  \dfrac{m}{d}

V =  \dfrac{200\:\diagup\!\!\!\!g}{1,117\:\diagup\!\!\!\!g/mL} \to V = 179\:mL\:(volumen\:of\:solute)

<span>The solvent volume will be:
</span>
1000 -179 => V = 821 mL (volumen of disolvent)

If: 1 mL = 1g

<span>Then the mass of the solvent is:
</span>
m2 (mass of the solvent) = 821 g → m2 (mass of the solvent) = 0,821 Kg

Now, we apply all the data found to the formula of Molality, let us see:

\omega =  \dfrac{m_1}{M_1*m_2}

\omega =  \dfrac{200}{132*0,821}

\omega =  \dfrac{200}{108,372}

\boxed{\boxed{\omega \approx 1,8\:Molal}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

<span>Another way to find the answer:
</span>
We have the following data: 

W (molality) = ? (in molal)
n (number of mols) = ?
m1 (solute mass) = 20 % m/m = 20g/100mL → (in g to 1L) = 200 g
m2 (disolvent mass) the remaining percentage, in the case: 80 % m/m = 800 g → m2 (disolvent mass) = 0,8 Kg
M1 (Molar mass of solute) (NH4)2 SO4 
N = 2*14 = 28
H = (2*4)*1 = 8
S = 1*32 = 32
O = 4*16 = 64
----------------------
M1 of (Nh4)2SO4 = 28+8+32+64 => M1 = 132 g/mol 


<span>Let's find the number of mols (n), let's see:

</span>n =  \dfrac{m_1}{M_1}

n = \dfrac{200}{132}

n \approx 1,5\:mol

Now, we apply all the data found to the formula of Molality, let us see:

\omega =  \dfrac{n}{m_2}

\omega =  \dfrac{1,5}{0,8}

&#10;\boxed{\boxed{\omega \approx 1,8\:Molal}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

I hope this helps. =)

PLS HELP!! it’s science how do waves travel through gas
HACTEHA [7]

By 'waves' do you mean sound waves? If so sound waves need to travel through things like solids, liquids and yup <u>gases. </u>When the waves travel they are vibrating the molecules in the matter. By doing this he molecules in solids are packed very tightly.

If the atomic weight of nitrogen is 14.01, what is the mass of the nitrogen atoms in one mole of cadmium nitrate, Cd(NOÀ)
Nadya [2.5K]
The answer is 28.02.

The chemical formula for cadmium nitrate is Cd(NO₃)₂.

There are in total 2 nitrogen atoms in Cd(NO₃)₂. If <span>the atomic weight of nitrogen is 14.01</span>, the mass <span>of two nitrogen atoms in one mole of cadmium nitrate is 28.02:
2 </span>· 14.01 = 28.02

What type of particle has no mass or charge? <br> A) Alpha <br> B) Beta <br> C) Gamma <br> D) Proton
viva [34]

Answer:

Your answer would be C.

Explanation:

Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.

Why do farmers spray water over their crops before a frost?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

When water freezes and turns into ice, it releases latent heat. Then, the ice that builds up on the plant will insulate it from the colder surrounding air temperatures. Because of this, some growers choose to spray their crop with water before the freeze occurs.

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In
adell [148]

Answer:

The net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide is 523.2 kJ.

Explanation:

Step 1:

CaC_2(s) + 2H_2O(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g) + Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H_1=414.0 kJ...[1]

Step 2 :

6C_2H_2(g) + 3CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g) \Delta H_2=132.0kJ..[2]

Adding 6 × [1] and [2]:

6CaC_2(s) + 12H_2O(g)\rightarrow 6C_2H_2(g) + 6Ca(OH)_2(s)

6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+16H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)

we get :

6CaC_2(s) + 8H_2O(g)+3CO_2(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)+ 6Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H'=?

\Delta H'=6\times \Delta H_1+\Delta H_2

\Delta H'=6\times 414.0 kJ+132.0kJ

\Delta H'=2,626 kJ

Energy released on formation of 5 moles of acrylic acid = 2,626 kJ

Energy released on formation of 1 mole of acrylic acid:

\frac{ 2,626 kJ}{5 } = 523.2 kJ
