The mole fraction of solute in a 3.87 m aqueous solution is 0.0697
<h3>
calculation</h3>
molality = moles of the solute/Kg of the solvent
3.87 m dissolve in 1 Kg of water= 1000g
find the moles of water= mass/molar mass
that is 1000 g/ 18 g/mol= 55.56 moles
mole of solute = 3.87 moles
mole fraction is = moles of solute/moles of solvent
that is 3.87/ 55.56 = 0.0697
Answer: The amount of energy lost by the metal is equal to the amount of energy gained by the water
Explanation:
Since the beaker was heated we can asume that only magnesium cloride is left in the beaker, therfore the difference between the beaker with magnesium chloride and the empty beaker give the mass of magnisium chloride:
