Answer:
Mole fraction for solute = 0.1, or 10%
Molality = 6.24 mol/kg
Explanation:
22.3% by mass → In 100 g of solution, we have 22.3 g of HCOOH
Mass of solution = 100 g
Mass of solute = 22.3 g
Mass of solvent = 100 g - 22.3g = 77.7 g
Let's convert the mass to moles
22.3 g . 1mol/ 46 g = 0.485 moles
77.7 g. 1mol / 18 g = 4.32 moles
Total moles = 4.32 moles + 0.485 moles = 4.805 moles
Xm for solute = 0.485 / 4.805 = 0.100 → 10%
Molality → mol/ kg → we convert the mass of solvent to kg
77.7 g. 1 kg / 1000g = 0.0777 kg
0.485 mol / 0.0777 kg = 6.24 m
Answer:
Explanation:
Oxygen is one of the most abundant elements on this planet. Our atmosphere is 21% free elemental oxygen. Oxygen is also extensively combined in compounds in the earths crust, such as water (89%) and in mineral oxides. Even the human body is 65% oxygen by mass.
Free elemental oxygen occurs naturally as a gas in the form of diatomic molecules, O2 (g). Oxygen exhibits many unique physical and chemical properties. For example, oxygen is a colorless and odorless gas, with a density greater than that of air, and a very low solubility in water. In fact, the latter two properties greatly facilitate the collection of oxygen in this lab. Among the unique chemical properties of oxygen are its ability to support respiration in plants and animals, and its ability to support combustion.
In this lab, oxygen will be generated as a product of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. A catalyst is used to speed up the rate of the decomposition reaction, which would otherwise be too slow to use as a source of oxygen. The catalyst does not get consumed by the reaction, and can be collected for re-use once the reaction is complete. The particular catalyst used in this lab is manganese(IV) oxide.
1) To find the change in enthalpy, determine the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants. (on this diagram, C-A) To find the activation energy, find the difference between the potential energy of the reactants and the "peak" of the curve (on this diagram, B-A). For this diagram, both the enthalpy and activation energy are positive.
2) If the reaction was exothermic, enthalpy would be negative, and the potential energy of the reactants would be greater than the potential energy of the products.
Explanation:
When the covalent bonds in a molecule are polarized so that one portion of the molecule experiences a positive charge and the other portion of the molecule experiences a negative charge. This separation of opposite charges creates an electric dipole.
