An aqueous KNO3 solution is made using 72.5 g of KNO3 diluted to a total solution volume of 2.00 L. Calculate the molarity, mola

lity, and mass percent of the solution. (Assume the density of 1.05 g/mL for the solution.)

Answer:

The molarity is 0.359\frac{moles}{L}

The molality is 0.354 \frac{moles}{kg}

The mass percent of the solution es 3.45%

Explanation:

Molarity is a unit of concentration that indicates the amount of moles of solute that appear dissolved in each liter of the mixture. It is determined by:

Molarity (M)=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}

Being:

  • K: 39 g/mole
  • N: 14 g/mole
  • O: 16 g/mole

The molar mass of KNO₃ is:

KNO₃=  39 g/mole + 14 g/mole + 3*16 g/mole= 101 g/mole

You can apply the following rule of three: if 101 grams of KNO₃ are present in 1 mole, 72.5 grams in how many moles are present?

moles of KNO_{3}=\frac{72.5 grams*1 mole}{101 grams}

moles of KNO₃= 0.718

So you have:

  • moles of KNO₃= 0.718
  • volume= 2 L

Applying this quantity in the definition of molarity:

molarity=\frac{0.718 moles}{2 L}

Molarity= 0.359\frac{moles}{L}

<u><em>The molarity is 0.359</em></u>\frac{moles}{L}<u><em></em></u>

Molality is a way of measuring the concentration of solute in solvent and indicates the amount of moles of solute in each kilogram of solvent.

Then the molality is calculated by:

Molality=\frac{moles of solute}{mass of solvent in kilograms}

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress in a given space. That is, it is the amount of mass per unit volume. So, if the density of 1.05 g / mL for the solution indicates that in 1 mL of solution there are 1.05 grams of solution, in 2000 mL (where 2L = 2000 mL, because 1 L = 1000mL) how much mass is there?

mass=\frac{2000 mL*1.05 grams}{1 mL}

mass= 2100 grams

Since mass solution = mass water + mass KNO₃

then mass water = mass solution - mass KNO₃

Being mass solution 2100 grams and mass KNO₃ 72.5 grams, and replacing you get: mass water= 2100 grams - 72.5 grams

mass water= 2,027.5 grams

Then, being:

  • moles of KNO₃= 0.718
  • mass of solvent in kilograms= 2.0275 kg (being 2,027.5 grams= 2.0275 kilograms because 1,000 grams= 1 kilogram)

Replacing in the definition of molality:

molality=\frac{0.718 moles}{2.0275 kg}

molality= 0.354 \frac{moles}{kg}

<u><em>The molality is 0.354 </em></u>\frac{moles}{kg}<u><em></em></u>

The mass percent of a solution is the number of grams of solute per 100 grams of solution. Then the mass percent is the mass of the element or solute divided by the mass of the compound or solute and the result of which is multiplied by 100 to give a percentage.

mass percent=\frac{mass of solute}{mass of solution} *100

So, in this case:

mass percent=\frac{72.5 grams}{2100 grams} *100

mass percent= 3.45 % KNO₃ by mass

<u><em>The mass percent of the solution es 3.45%</em></u>

Why is it difficult to determine earth's inner structure
Lesechka [4]
It is hard because we can't get past the crust, Our machines will burn up at the mantle and so will we. The layers go: crust, mantle, outer core, inner core.

8.7 Two products are formed in the following reaction in a 50:50 mixture. Would the resulting solution be optically active
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Yes. The solution would be optically active.

Explanation:

Diastereomer are defined as the image that is non mirror and non -identical. It is made up of two stereoisomers. They are formed when the two stereoisomers or more than two stereoisomers of the compound have the same configuration at the equivalent stereocenters.

In the given context, as the product given is a diastereomeric mixture, the product would have an optical activity in total.

So the answer is Yes.

Which of these solids are most likely amorphous solids? Select all that apply. Rubber sugar plastic candle wax graphite glass.
Ostrovityanka [42]

The solids are characterized as amorphous and crystalline solids based on the arrangement of atoms. The solids that are amorphous are rubber, plastic, candle wax, and glass.

<h3>What are amorphous solids?</h3>

The solids have the arrangement of atoms in the lattice. The solids with an appropriate arrangement of atoms are crystalline solids. For example, sugar, graphite.

The solids with irregular arrangements of atoms in the lattice are amorphous solids. For example, glass, rubber.

Thus, the solids that are amorphous in nature are rubber, plastic, candle wax, and glass.

Calculate the ph of the solution made by adding 0.50 mol of hobr and 0.30 mol of kobr to 1.00 l of water. the value of ka for ho
nikdorinn [45]
To fully understand the problem, we use the ICE table to identify the concentration of the species. We calculate as follows:

Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = [H+][OBr-] / [HOBr] 

HOBr  = 0.50 M 
KOBr  = 0.30 M = OBr-

<span>     HOBr + H2O <-> H+ + OBr- </span>
<span>I     0.50        -              0          0.30 </span>
<span>C       -x                        x             x 
</span>---------------------------------------------
<span>E(0.50-x)                    x       (0.30+x) </span>

<span>Assuming that the value of  x is small as compared to 0.30 and 0.50 </span>

<span>Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = x (0.30) / 0.50) </span>

<span>x = 3.33 x 10^-9 = H+</span>
