Answer: The mass of a solute is 35 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the mass percentage of solute, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of solute}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100$

Mass percent of solute = 10 %

Mass of solution = 350 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{350g}\times 100\\\\\text{Mass of solute}=\frac{10\times 350}{100}=35g$

Hence, the mass of a solute is 35 grams

What mass of calcium chloride is needed to prepare 2.657 L of a 1.56 M solution?

inna [77]

Answer:

459.126 grams of calcium chloride is needed to prepare 2.657 L of a 1.56 M solution

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution that indicates the amount of moles of solute that appear dissolved in one liter of the mixture. In other words, molarity is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The Molarity of a solution is determined by the following expression:

$Molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}$

Molarity is expressed in units $\frac{moles}{liter}$

In this case:

Molarity: 1.56 M= 1.56 $\frac{moles}{liter}$
Number of moles of calcium chlorine= ?
Volume= 2.657 liters

Replacing:

$1.56 M=\frac{Number of moles of calcium chlorine}{2.657 liters}$

Solving:

Number of moles of calcium chlorine= 1.56 M* 2.657 liters

Number of moles of calcium chlorine= 4.14 moles

In other side, you know:

Ca: 40 g/mole
Cl: 35.45 g/mole

Then the molar mass of the calcium chloride CaCl₂ is:

CaCl₂= 40 g/mole + 2* 35.45 g/mole= 110.9 g/mole

Now it is possible to apply the following rule of three: if in 1 mole there is 110.9 g of CaCl₂, in 4.14 moles of the compound how much mass is there?

$mass=\frac{4.14 moles*110.9g}{1 mole}$

mass= 459.126 g

459.126 grams of calcium chloride is needed to prepare 2.657 L of a 1.56 M solution

Answer:

Growth of weeds and grasses

Explanation:

The part of the garden, probably left to rest by the Gardner, would start experiencing a legion of invasive plants. Giant weeds and grasses could be seen, and brambles and tree seedlings could also sneak in.

Some Gardeners would recommend the use of herbicides to restore order to an abandoned garden even though certain scientists are of the opinion that chemicals may not offer a sound solution to the problem.
