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

State the periodic law, and explain its relation to electron configuration. (Use Na and K in your explanation.)
mina [271]

Answer:

Explanation:

The period law state that when elements are listed in order of their atomic numbers, the elements fall into recurring groups, so that there is a recurrence of similar properties at regular intervals.

Na and K in the periodic table fall into the same group, this is because they both have one electrons in their outermost shell.

Na 11 -1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

K 19 - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

They share similar chemical and physical properties. Na and K are very reactive metals, they can loose/donate their outermost electron to non metals in other to attain stable octet state.

The form ionic compound when they react with non metals.

The Spirit of America Goodyear blimp has a volume of 2.027×105 ft3.When the blimp is in operation, it is filled with helium gas.
Andru [333]
Answer: 1.027 x 10^6 g= 1027kg
In this question, you are given the volume of the blimp (2.027×10^5 ft^3) and the density of the gas(0.179g/L). To answer this question, you need to convert the volume unit into liter. The calculation would be: 2.027×10^5 ft^3 x 28.3168L/ft3= 57.398 x 10^5L= 5.74x10^6L

Then to find the mass, multiply the volume with the density. The calculation would be: 5.74x10^6L x 0.179g/L= 1.027 x 10^6 g= 1027kg
