You are asked to prepare a solution that is 2% by weight ethanol in water. Note that the molecular weight of ethanol is 46.07 g/

mol and water is 18.02 g/mol. What is the molality of ethanol in this solution?

Answer:

0.4429 m

Explanation:

Given that mass % of the ethanol in water = 2%

This means that 2 g of ethanol present in 100 g of ethanol solution.

Molality is defined as the moles of the solute present in 1 kilogram of the solvent.

Given that:

Mass of CH_3CH_2OH = 2 g

Molar mass of CH_3CH_2OH = 46.07 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{2\ g}{46.07\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ CH_3CH_2OH= 0.0434\ moles

Mass of water = 100 - 2  g = 98 g = 0.098 kg ( 1 g = 0.001 kg )

So, molality is:

m=\frac {0.0434\ moles}{0.098\ kg}

<u>Molality = 0.4429 m</u>

What geometry does VSEPR predict for the central atom in NCl3
Archy [21]

Answer:

Tetrahedral electron geometry and trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.

Explanation:

The Lewis structure is shown in Figure 1.

The central N atom has three bonding pairs and one lone pair, for <em>four electron groups</em>.

VSEPR theory predicts a tetrahedral electron geometry with bond angles of 109.5°.

We do not count the lone pair in determining the molecular shape.

The molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (see Figure 2).

How do you sort bonds by polarity
zzz [600]
Your question isn't quite clear, but if you're wondering if a chemical is polar or non-polar, you simply draw a VSEPR sketch and draw arrows where the bonds are. Only draw arrows between atoms, NOT between an atom and a lone pair of electrons. The arrow should point to the most electronegative atom (you should be given an electronegativity scale). Afterwards, you add up the arrows as vectors, and look at the sum of the vectors. If the sum is zero (CH4 is a good example), the chemical is non-polar. If the sum is a vector, the chemical is polar (H2O, or water, is polar).

What does the constant bombardment of gas molecules against the inside walls of a container produce?
alukav5142 [94]
<span>The constant bombardment of gas molecules against the inside walls of a container produces Pressure.

Explanation:
                    Pressure is defined as Force per unit Area.

                                        P  =  F  /  A

In case of gases, the gas molecules have high Kinetic Energy and they move with high velocity. This cause them to strike against the inside wall of the container. Pressure is directly proportional to temperature. Increase in temperature cause to increase the Kinetic Energy of molecules, Hence, the rate of collisions increases resulting in increasing the pressure.</span>

A scientific _______ is an explanation for how something occurs. It is supported by a great deal of evidence.
Minchanka [31]
Law, since "It is supported by a great deal of evidence. A theory is almost like an educated guess but a little more complex. Someone can have a theory and try to predict the outcome, which could be how they want it to go or how they don't want it to go. With a law, the scientist is basically certain of the outcome due to the evidence that was provided when the law was created.
