Suppose now that you wanted to determine the density of a small crystal to confirm that it is sulfur. From the literature, you k

now that sulfur has a density of 2.07 . How would you prepare 20.0 mL of the liquid mixture having that density from pure samples of ( = 1.492 g/mL) and ( = 2.890 g/mL)? (Note: 1 mL = 1 .)

Answer:

Mix 11.73 mL of CHCl₃ and 8.27 mL of CHBr₃

Explanation:

To begin, it seems your question lacks the name of the pure samples that will be mixed to prepare the liquid mixture. The names are not necessary, as the numerical values are there. However, an internet search tells me they are CHCl₃ (d=1.492g/mL) and CHBr₃ (d=2.890 g/mL).

The mixture has a density of 2.07 g/mL, so <u>20 mL of the mixture would weigh</u>:

20 mL * 2.07 g/mL = 41.4 g

Let X be the volume of CHCl₃ and Y the volume of CHBr₃:

X + Y = 20 mL

The mass of CHCl₃ and CHBr₃ combined have to be equal to the mass of the mixture. We can write that equation using the volume of the samples and their density:

X * 1.492 + Y * 2.890 = 41.4 g

So now we have a system of two equations and two unknowns, we use algebra to solve it:

   1. Express Y in terms of X:

X + Y = 20

  • Y = 20 - X

   2. Replace Y in the second equation:

X * 1.492 + Y * 2.890 = 41.4

  • 1.492*X + 2.890*(20-X) = 41.4

   3. Solve for X:

  • 1.492*X + 57.8 - 2.890*X = 41.4
  • 1.398*X = 16.4
  • X = 11.73 mL

   4. Using the now known value of X, solve for Y:

X + Y = 20

  • 11.73 + Y = 20
  • Y = 8.27 mL

So, to prepare the liquid mixture we would mix 8.27 mL of CHBr₃ and 11.73 mL of  CHCl₃.

How would you prepare a 1 L solution of 3 M MgO?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:  175.35g

Explanation:  A 3 M solution has 3 moles of solute per litre.

The mass of one mole of NaCl equals the MW of NaCl MW =  35.45 + 23 =58.45 g/mol

The mass of 3 moles is 58.45 g/mol ×3 mol=175.35 g NaCl  or  200 g rounded to one sigfig.

The osmotic pressure exerted by a solution is equal to the molarity multiplied by the absolute temperature and the gas constant
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: M = 22/ (i x28.948)

Explanation:

Pi = osmotic pressure = 22atm

T = Temperature = 353K

M = Molarity = ?

R = gas constant = 0.082atm.L/mol/K

i = van’t Hoff factor

Pi = iMRT

M= Pi /(iRT) = 22 / ( i x 0.082 x 353)

M = 22/ (i x28.948)
