Answer: The molality of solution is 17.6 mole/kg

Explanation:

Molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per kg of the solvent.

$Molarity=\frac{n}{W_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute

$W_s$ = weight of solvent in kg

moles of acetone (solute) = 0.241

moles of water (solvent )= (1-0.241) = 0.759

mass of water (solvent )= $moles\times {\text {Molar Mass}}=0.759\times 18=13.7g=0.0137kg$

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

$Molality=\frac{0.241}{0.0137kg}=17.6mole/kg$

Therefore, the molality of solution is 17.6 mole/kg

Use the periodic table to determine the electron configuration for Ca and Pm in noble-gas notation Ca: [Ar]4s2 [Ar]4s1 [Ar]3s2 [

sveta [45]

Answer:

1) Ca: [Ar]4s²
2) Pm: [Xe]6s²4f⁵

Explanation:

1) Ca:

Its atomic number is 20. So it has 20 protons and 20 electrons.

Since it is in the row (period) 4 the noble gas before it is Ar, and the electron configuration is that of Argon whose atomic number is 18.

So, you have two more electrons (20 - 18 = 2) to distribute.

Those two electrons go the the orbital 4s.

Finally, the electron configuration is [Ar] 4s².

2) Pm

The atomic number of Pm is 61, so it has 61 protons and 61 electrons.

Pm is in the row (period) 6. So, the noble gas before Pm is Xe.

The atomic number of Xe is 54.

Therefore, you have to distribute 61 - 54 = 7 electrons on the orbitals 6s and 4f.

The resultant distribution for Pm is: [Xe]6s² 4f⁵.

What mass of C6H8O7 should be used every 7.0 X 10^2mg NaHCO3

Savatey [412]

Mass C₆H₈O₇ : 0.531484 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

3NaHCO₃ (aq) + C₆H₈O₇ (aq) → 3 CO₂ (g) + 3 H₂O (l) + Na₃C₆H₅O₇ (aq)

MW NaHCO₃ : 84 g/mol

mass NaHCO₃ : 7.10² mg=0.7 g

mol NaHCO₃ :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{0.7}{84}=0.0083$

mol C₆H₈O₇ :

$\tt \dfrac{1}{3}\times 0.0083=0.00277$

MW C₆H₈O₇ : 192 g/mol

mass C₆H₈O₇ :

$\tt mass=0.00277\times 192=0.53184$

If you assume this reaction is driven to completion because of the large excess of one ion, what is the concentration of [Fe(SCN

viktelen [127]

Answer : The concentration of $[Fe(SCN)]^{2+}$ is, $4.32\times 10^{-4}M$

Explanation :

When we assume this reaction is driven to completion because of the large excess of one ion then we are assuming limiting reagent is $SCN^-$ and $Fe^{3+}$ is excess reagent.
