The question is incomplete,the complete question :

Calculate the molality of a 10.0% (by mass) aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid:

a) 0.274 m

b) 2.74 m

c) 3.05 m

d) 4.33 m

e) the density of the solution is needed to solve the problem

Answer:

The molality of a 10.0% (by mass) aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid is 3.05 mol/kg.

Explanation:

10.0% (by mass) aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid.

10 grams of HCl is present in 100 g of solution.

Mass of HCl = 10 g

Mass of solution = 100 g

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of water

Mass of water = 100 g - 10 g = 90 g

Moles of HCl = $\frac{10 g}{36.5 g/mol}=0.2740 mol$

Mass of water in kilograms = 0.090 kg

Molality = $\frac{0.2740 mol}{0.090 kg}=3.05 mol/kg$

The molality of a 10.0% (by mass) aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid is 3.05 mol/kg.

The evaporation of liquid water from the surface of Earth is an important step in the water cycle. How do water molecules obtain

Alex777 [14]

<span>Well, during the day, the water, as well as the surfaces surrounding the water, are heated by various thermodynamic processes: conduction, convection, radiation, etc. This in turn warms the water molecules in the lakes, streams, rivers, and oceans, thereby transferring heat (their kinetic energy) to the water molecules, which in turn receive that energy from the surrounding surfaces, or directly via radiation/insolation from the sun. When the water molecules attain enough energy, some of them attain enough energy to escape the surface of the liquid and enter the gas phase. Hence, as water is heated, more and more water molecules attain enough kinetic energy to enter the gas phase.</span>

How is molarity measured

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Molarity (m) is defined as the number of moles to solute (n) the volume (v) of the solution in liters is important to note that the molarity is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution not moles of solute per liter of solute.

Consider the reaction: HCN (aq) + H2O (l) ⇄ CN- (aq) + H3O + (aq) Which of the following statements will decrease the amount of

alekssr [168]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction shows that hydrogen cyanide acid has been added to water which results in the formation of hydronium ion and cyanide ion.

Also, when we add a base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to HCN then it will help in accepting a proton ( $H^{+}$ ) from hydrogen cyanide. As a result, formation of $CN^{-}$ anion will be rapid and easy.

This will make the system not to do any extra work. So, amount of work done by system will decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, add solid NaOH to the reaction (assume no volume change) will decrease the amount of work the system could perform.
