First, find the volume the solution needs to be diluted to in order to have the desired molarity:
You have to use the equation M₁V₁=M₂V₂ when ever dealing with dilutions.

M₁=the starting concentration of the solution (in this case 2.6M)
V₁=the starting volume of the solution (in this case 0.035L)
M₂=the concentration we want to dilute to (in this case 1.2M)
V₂=the volume of solution needed for the dilution (not given)

Explaining the reasoning behind the above equation:
MV=moles of solute (in this case KCl) because molarity is the moles of solute per Liter of solution so by multiplying the molarity by the volume you are left with the moles of solute.  The moles of solute is a constant since by adding solvent (in this case water) the amount of solute does not change.  That means that M₁V₁=moles of solute=M₂V₂ and that relationship will always be true in any dilution.

Solving for the above equation:
V₂=M₁V₁/M₂
V₂=(2.6M×0.035L)/1.2M
V₂=0.0758 L
That means that the solution needs to be diluted to 75.8mL to have a final concentration of 1.2M.

 Second, Finding the amount of water needed to be added:
Since we know that the volume of the solution was originally 35mL and needed to be diluted to 75.8mL to reach the desired molarity, to find the amount of solvent needed to be added all you do is V₂-V₁ since the difference in the starting volume and final volume is equal to the volume of solvent added.
75.8mL-35mL=40.8mL
40.8mL of water needs to be added

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
Good luck on your quiz!

The atomic radii of a divalent cation and a monovalent anion are 0.62 nm and 0.121 nm, respectively. (a) Calculate the force of
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

\boxed{8.4\times 10^{-10} \text{ N}}

Explanation:

The formula for the force exerted between two ions is  

F = \dfrac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}} = \dfrac{kz_{1}z_{2}e^{2}}{r^{2}}

where the Coulomb constant

k = 8.988 × 10⁹ N·m·C⁻²

Data:

z₁ = +2; r₁ = 0.62    nm

z₂ =  -1;  r₂ = 0.121 nm

Calculations:

r = r₁ + r₂ = 0.62 + 0.121 = 0.741 nm

F =\dfrac{8.988 \times 10^{9} \text{ N $\cdot$ m$^{2} \cdot$ C$^{-2}$} \times 2 \times (-1) \times ( 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C})^{2}}{(0.741 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m})^{2}}\\\\ = -\mathbf{8.4\times 10^{-10}} \textbf{ N}\\\text{The attractive force between the ions is } \boxed{\mathbf{8.4\times 10^{-10}} \textbf{ N}}

When formic acid is heated, it decomposes to hydrogen and carbon dioxide in a first-order decay: . . HCOOH(g) →CO2(g) + H2 (g) .
Marat540 [252]
We are given with the reaction HCOOH(g) →CO2(g) + H2 (g). According to Dalton's law, the total pressure of a vessel is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the components inside it. In this case, we plot first the data ln (ratio partial pressure of HCOOH to total pressure) vs time. Partial pressure is the difference of pressure (from one point to another). In this case, the equation is ln P(HCCOH) = -0.0146t - 0.2281 where R² = 0.9923. K is equal to <span> -0.0146 s-1. When the total pressure is 291, ln P is -0.66938, thus the time is 30.23 seconds. The half life is ln(0.5)/k equal to 47.46 seconds.</span>

The vapor pressure of water is 23.76 mm Hg at 25 °C. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves in water is sucrose. Calculate
MrRissso [65]

Answer : The vapor pressure of solution is 23.67 mmHg.

Solution:

As the relative lowering of vapor pressure is directly proportional to the amount of dissolved solute.

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be,

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=\frac{w_2M_1}{w_1M_2}

where,

p^o = vapor pressure of pure solvent  (water) = 23.76 mmHg

p_s = vapor pressure of solution= ?

w_2 = mass of solute  (sucrose) = 12.25 g

w_1 = mass of solvent  (water) = 176.3 g

M_1 = molar mass of solvent (water) = 18.02 g/mole

M_2 = molar mass of solute (sucrose) = 342.3 g/mole

Now put all the given values in this formula ,we get the vapor pressure of the solution.

\frac{23.76-p_s}{23.76}=\frac{12.25\times 18.02}{176.3\times 342.3}

p_s=23.67mmHg

Therefore, the vapor pressure of solution is 23.67 mmHg.
