Answer:

Molality = 6.23 molal

Mol fraction HCOOH = 0.101

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

mass % of HCOOH = 22.3 %

Step 2: Calculate mass

22.3 % means we have 22.3 grams HCOOH in 100 gram solution

Mass of water = 100 grams - 22.3 grams = 77.7 grams

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles HCOOH = mass HCOOH / molar mass HCOOH

Moles HCOOH = 22.3 grams / 46.03 g/mol

Moles HCOOH = 0.484 moles

Moles H2O = 77.7 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 4.31 moles

Step 4: Calculate molality

Molality = moles HCOOH / mass H2O

Molality = 0.484 moles / 0.0777 kg

Molality = 6.23 molal

Step 5: Calculate mol fraction

Mol fraction HCOOH = mole HCOOH / total moles

Mol fraction HCOOH = 0.484 moles / (4.31+0.484)moles

Mol fraction HCOOH = 0.101

Answer:

Mole fraction for solute = 0.1, or 10%

Molality = 6.24 mol/kg

Explanation:

22.3% by mass → In 100 g of solution, we have  22.3 g of HCOOH

Mass of solution = 100 g

Mass of solute = 22.3 g

Mass of solvent = 100 g - 22.3g = 77.7 g

Let's convert the mass to moles

22.3 g . 1mol/ 46 g = 0.485 moles

77.7 g. 1mol / 18 g = 4.32 moles

Total moles = 4.32 moles + 0.485 moles = 4.805 moles

Xm for solute = 0.485 / 4.805 = 0.100 → 10%

Molality → mol/ kg → we convert the mass of solvent to kg

77.7 g.  1 kg / 1000g = 0.0777 kg

0.485 mol / 0.0777 kg = 6.24 m

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The amount of work done on the system is 18234 J and the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.

Explanation:

Thermodynamic work is called the transfer of energy between the system and the environment by methods that do not depend on the difference in temperatures between the two. When a system is compressed or expanded, a thermodynamic work is produced which is called pressure-volume work (p - v).

The pressure-volume work done by a system that compresses or expands at constant pressure is given by the expression:

W system= -p*∆V

Where:

  • W system: Work exchanged by the system with the environment. Its unit of measure in the International System is the joule (J)
  • p: Pressure. Its unit of measurement in the International System is the pascal (Pa)
  • ∆V: Volume variation (∆V = Vf - Vi). Its unit of measurement in the International System is cubic meter (m³)

In this case:

  • p= 10 atm= 1.013*10⁶ Pa (being 1 atm= 101325 Pa)
  • ΔV= 2 L- 20 L= -18 L= -0.018 m³ (being 1 L=0.001 m³)

Replacing:

W system= -1.013*10⁶ Pa* (-0.018 m³)

Solving:

W system= 18234 J

<u><em>The amount of work done on the system is 18234 J and the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.</em></u>

<span>Divide the number of grams present in the sample by copper's gram atomic weight to find the number of gram atomic weights present. Then multiply that result by Avogadro's Number: 6.022137 x 10^23 atoms/gram atomic weight.1,200 g/(63.54 g/gram atomic weight) ? 18.885741 gram-atomic weights. Hope this helps. </span>

7. An element's most stable ion forms an ionic compound with chlorine having the formula XCl2. If the ion of element X has a mas
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,  

XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻

X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element

As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,  

No. of electrons = atomic number - charge

36 = atomic number - 2

Atomic number = 38

Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.  

Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,  

No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

= 89 - 38

= 51 neutrons.
