Answer:

Molal concentration of NaCl in Seawater = 1.6 moles of NaCl/kg of pure water!!!

Explanation:

Let the mole fraction of pure water be X, that of NaCl = 1 - X

We obtain the mole fraction of solvent from Raoult's law relation

Pressure of solution, P⁰ₛₐₗₜ = Vapour pressure of solvent, P⁰ₕ₂₀ × mole fraction of solvent, X

23.09 = 23.76 × X

X = 0.972

Using a mole basis of 1 mole,

Number of moles of pure water = 0.972

number of moles of NaCl in the seawater sampler = 1 - 0.972 = 0.028 moles

Molal concentration = number of moles of solute/mass of solvent in kg

Mass of solvent = number of moles × molar mass of pure water = 0.972 × 18 = 17.496g = 0.0175 kg

Molal concentration = 0.028/0.0175 = 1.6 moles of NaCl/kg of pure water!!!

Hope this Helps!!!!

Answer:

0.808  M

Explanation:

Using Raoult's Law

\frac{P_s}{Pi}= x_i

where:

P_s = vapor pressure of sea water( solution) = 23.09 mmHg

P_i = vapor pressure of pure water (solute) = 23.76 mmHg

x_i = mole fraction of water

∴

\frac{23.09}{23.76}= x_i

x_i = 0.9718

x_i+x_2=1

x_2 = 1- x_i

x_2 = 1- 0.9718

x_2 = 0.0282

x_i = \frac{n_i}{n_i+n_2}  ------ equation (1)

x_2 = \frac{n_2}{n_i+n_2}  ------ equation (2)

where; (n_2) = number of moles of sea water

(n_i) = number of moles of pure water

equating above equation 1 and 2; we have :

\frac{n_2}{n_i}= \frac{0.0282}{0.9178}

= 0.02901

NOW, Molarity =  \frac{moles of sea water}{mass of pure water }*1000

= \frac{0.02901}{18}*1000

= 0.001616*1000

= 1.616 M

As we assume that the sea water contains only NaCl, if NaCl dissociates to Na⁺ and Cl⁻; we have \frac{1.616}{2} =0.808 M

What type of solution has the capacity to dissolve more solute?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The answer to this is

Unsaturated solution

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution has the property of having a solute concentration lower than the the solubility at equilibrium at a given temperature hence it has the capacity to  dissolve more solutes. Is is a solution containing a lower amount of solute than a saturated solution

The two processes that occur on dissolving a solute in a solvent are dissolution and crystallization and in an unsaturated solution the rate of dissolution is greater than the rate of crystallization

Formular for solubility​
Komok [63]

Answer:

= konstanta produk kelarutan

= kation dalam larutan berair

= anion dalam larutan berair

= konsentrasi relatif a dan b

DARI WEB

Divide the mass of the compound by the mass of the solvent and then multiply by 100 g to calculate the solubility in g/100g . Solubility of NaNO3=21.9g or NaNO3 x 100 g/ 25 g =87.6. Calculate the molar mass of the dissolved compound as the sum of mass of all atoms in the molecule.
