A solution is composed of 85.5 wt% methanol in water. Find the mol fraction of methanol in the solution.

Chemistry

Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago

Answer:

0.7681

Explanation:

Given that the mass percentage of methanol = 85.5 %

which means that 85.5 g of methanol is present in 100 g of the solution.

Thus, mass of water = 100 g - 85.5 g = 14.5 g

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Mass of methanol = 85.5 g

Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol

<u>Moles of methanol = 85.5 g / 32.04 g/mol = 2.6685 moles</u>

Mass of water = 14.5 g

Molar mass of methanol = 18 g/mol

<u>Moles of methanol = 14.5 g / 18 g/mol = 0.8056 moles</u>

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

Mole\ fraction\ of\ methanol=\frac {n_{methanol}}{n_{methanol}+n_{water}}

Applying values as:

Mole\ fraction\ of\ methanol=\frac {2.6685}{2.6685+0.8056}

<u>Mole fraction of methanol in the solution = 0.7681</u>

For a reaction at equilibrium, which change can increase the rates of the forward and reverse reactions?a decrease in the concen
Monica [59]
Question requires a change resulting in an increase in both forward and reverse reactions. Now lets discuss options one by one and see there impact on rate of reactions.

1) <span>A decrease in the concentration of the reactants:
                                                                                       
When concentration of reactant is decreased it will shift the equilibrium in Backward direction, so resulting in increasing the backward reaction and decreasing the forward direction. Hence, this option is incorrect.

2) </span><span>A decrease in the surface area of the products:
                                                                               Greater the surface Area greater is the chances of collision and greater will be the rate of reaction. As the surface area of products is decreased it will not favor the backward reaction. Hence again this statement is incorrect according to given statement.

3) </span><span>An increase in the temperature of the system:
                                                                             An increase in temperature will shift the reaction in endothermic side. Hence, if the reaction is endothermic, an increase in temperature will increase the rate of forward direction or if the reaction is exothermic it will increase the rate of reverse direction. Hence, this option is correct according to given statement.

4) </span><span>An increase in the activation energy of the forward reaction:
                                                                                                   An increase in Activation energy will decrease the rate of reaction, either it is forward or reverse. So this is incorrect.

Result:
          Hence, the correct answer is,"</span>An increase in the temperature of the system".

Is material that has a density of 0.2g/ml good for building a bridge or for making couch cushions
lisov135 [29]
D = 0.2 g / ml = 0.2 g / cm³
For example, density of steel is 7.85 g / cm³.
Density of pure water is 1.0 g/cm³. An object which has a density < 1.0 g/cm³ will float in water.
Answer: Material that has a density of 0.2 g/ml ( 0.2 g/cm³ ) is good for making couch cushions.

HELP ASAP!!!!!!
Sav [38]

1, 4, 1, 2, 1

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

MnO₂ + HCl → MnCl₂ + H₂O + Cl₂

To balance the chemical equation the number of atoms of each element entering the reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms of each element leaving the reaction, in order to conserve the mass.

So the balanced chemical equation is:

MnO₂ + 4 HCl → MnCl₂ + 2 H₂O + Cl₂

7. I have 2.50 x 1023 atoms of titanium. How many moles of titanium dol<br> have?
algol13

Answer:

0.42mole

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of atoms of titanium  = 2.5 x 10²³atoms

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we must understand that a mole of any substance contains the Avogadro's number of particles.

              6.02 x 10²³ atoms makes up 1 mole of an atom

              2.5 x 10²³ atoms will contain \frac{2.5 x 10^{23} }{6.02 x 10^{23} }   = 0.42mole
