The greater amount is the solvent and the lesser amount is the solute.

Hence ethanol(200g) which is the greater amount is the solvent here.

And water (145g) which is lesser is the solute here.

A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. Solve for the number of bacteria tha

pshichka [43]

The number of bacteria is given by:
N(t) = N(o) x 2ⁿ
Where N(t) is the number after n hours have passed and N(o) is the original number which is 15.
The number grown in the 12th hour is the difference in the number after the 11th and the 12th hour. Thus:
15 x 2¹² - 15 x 2¹¹
= 30,720 bacteria

Determine the limiting reactant (lr) and the mass (in g) of nitrogen that can be formed from 50.0 g n2o4 and 45.0 g n2h4. some p

Licemer1 [7]

N2O4(l) + 2 N2H4(l) → 3 N2(g) + 4 H2O(g)
1) to calculate the limiting reactant you need to pass grams to moles.
 moles is calculated by dividing mass by molar mass

mass of N2O4: 50.0 g
molar mass of N2O4 = 92.02 g/mol
molar mass of N2H4 = 32.05 g/mol.
mass of N2H4:45.0 g

moles N2O4=50.0/92.02 g/mol= 0,54 mol of N2O4
moles N2H4= 45/32.05 g/mol= 1,40 mol of N2H4

 2)
By looking at the balanced equation, you can see that 1 mol of N2O4 needs 2 moles of N2H4 to fully react . So to react 0,54 moles of N2O4, you need 2x0,54 moles of N2H4 moles
N2H4 needed = 1,08 moles.
You have more that 1,08 moles N2H4, so this means the limiting reagent is not N2H4, it's N2O4. The molecule that has molecules that are left is never the limiting reactant.

3) 1 mol of N2O4 reacting, will produce 3 mol of N2 (look at the equation)
There are 0,54 mol of N2O4 available to react, so how many moles will produce of N2?
1 mol N2O4------------3 mol of N2
0,54 mol N2O4--------x
x=1,62 mol of N2

4) the only thing left to do is convert the moles obtained, to grams.
We use the same formula as before, moles equal to mass divided by molar mass.
$moles= \frac{grams}{molar mass}$ (molar mass of N2= 28)
1,62 mol of N2= mass/ 28
mass of N2= 45,36 grams

A sample contains 0.1895 g of salt per 50 g of seawater. What is its salinity?

Naily [24]

Use the rule of 3 simple
50 g mean 100% 0,1895 mean x% cross multiplie and calcule the x value x = 0,1895*100/50 = ?%

Which of the following statements about enthalpy is true?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: A chemical process must occur and then changes between the state of the reactants and the state of the products can be determined

Explanation: Enthalpy represents the sum of the energy of the system with the product of the pressure and volume of that system. As a thermodynamic property, it expresses the ability to release heat from the system. In fact, enthalpy tells us how much heat and work has changed during the chemical reaction under constant pressure. When measuring, measurements of the difference in enthalpy between the two states of the system is performed, before and after the chemical reaction, since total enthalpy can not be measured. This measurement of the enthalpy change can tell us, for example, whether the heat was released from the system during the reaction, or the system absorbed the heat.
