On the first day of your new job as a chemist, you are given a bottle of magnesium sulfate and asked to make 30 mL of 0.3 M MgSO

4. The formula on the bottle is MgSO4∗7H2O (also known as Epsom salt). Calculate the amount of salt you need (in milligrams).

Answer:

The answer to your question is 15500 mg of MgSO₄ 7H₂O

Explanation:

Data

Volume = 30 ml

Concentration = 0.3 M

Formula MgSO4∗7H2O

Process

1.- Calculate the number of moles needed

 Molarity = moles / volume

Solve for moles

 moles = Molarity x volume

Substitution

 moles = 0.3 x 0.03 l

 moles = 0.009 moles of MgSO₄

2.- Calculate the molecular mass of MgSO4∗7H2O

molecular mass = 24 + 32 + 64 + 14 + 112

                           = 246 g

3.- Get the proportion MgSO4 :7H2O, this proportion is 1 : 7

4.- Calculate the amount of MgSO4∗7H2O

    0.009 mol of MgSO4 \frac{7 MgSO4 7H2O}{1 mol MgSO4} \frac{246 g MgSO4 7H2O}{1 mol MgSO4 7H2O}

Simplification

   15.5 g = 15500 mg

the temperature of a sample of water increases from 20celsius to 46.6celsius as it absorbs 5650 J of heat. what is the mass of t
Levart [38]

Answer:

m = 50.74 kg

Explanation:

We have,

Initial temperature of water is 20 degrees Celsius

Final temperature of water is 46.6 degrees Celsius

Heat absorbed is 5650 J

It is required to find the mass of the sample. The heat absorbed is given by the formula ad follows :

Q=mc\Delta T

c is specific heat of water, c = 4.186 J/g°C

So,

m=\dfrac{Q}{c\Delta T}\\\\m=\dfrac{5650}{4.186\times (46.6-20)}\\\\m=50.74\ kg

So, the mass of the sample is 50.74 kg.

A 2.0 molal sugar solution has approximately the same freezing point as 1.0 molal solution of 1) CaCl2 2) CH3COOH 3) NaCl 4) C2H
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

3) NaCl.

Explanation:

<em>∵ ΔTf = iKf.m</em>

where, <em>i</em> is the van 't Hoff factor.

<em>Kf </em>is the molal depression freezing constant.

<em>m</em> is the molality of the solute.

<em>The van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass. </em>

<em></em>

  • For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1.

<em>So, for sugar: i = 1.</em>

<em>∴ ΔTf for sugar = iKf.m = (1)(Kf)(2.0 m) = 2 Kf.</em>

<em></em>

  • For most ionic compounds dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance.

For NaCl, it is electrolyte compound which dissociates to Na⁺ and Cl⁻.

<em>So, i for NaCl = 2.</em>

<em>∴ ΔTf for NaCl = iKf.m = (2)(Kf)(1.0 m) = 2 Kf.</em>

<em></em>

<em>So, the right choice is: 3) NaCl.</em>

A gas mixture contains HBr, NO2, and C2H6 at STP.If a tiny hole is made in the container, which gas will effuse fastest?Which ga
MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

Molar mass of HBr = 81 g/mol

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide gas = 46 g/mol

Molar mass of ethane = 30 g/mol

Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows the equation:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

So, the gas with least molar mass will effuse out fastest from the container and that is ethane gas.

The formula for average kinetic energy is:

K.E=\frac{3}{2}kT

where,

k = Boltzmann’s constant = 1.38\times 10^{-23}J/K

T = temperature = 273.15 K ( at STP)

As we can see from the formula that kinetic energy depends upon only temperature of the gas molecule.

So, from this we can say that all the gas molecules have the same average kinetic energy at this temperature.
