8.43g of CaCl2·2H2O is dissolved in 40.0g of H2O. What is the molality of the solution? (Note that the H2O in the CaCl2·2H2O mus

t be included in the molar mass of the compound in order to calculate the moles of solute. Also note that the H2O contributed by this solute must be included in the total amount of solvent present in the solution in calculation of molality.

Answer:

The answer to your question is molality = 1.36 ≈ 1.4

Explanation:

Data

mass CaCl₂ 2H₂O= 8.43 g

mass of water = 40 g

molality = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of CaCl₂ 2H₂O

CaCl₂ 2H₂O = 40 + 71 + 4 + 32 = 147 g

   Calculate the moles of CaCl₂ 2H₂O

                          147 g ----------------- 1 mol

                            8.43 g --------------  x

                             x = (8.43 x 1) / 147

                             x = 0.057 moles

2.- Calculate the mass of H₂O in the solute

                        147 g of CaCl₂ 2H₂O ------------  36 g of H₂O

                          8.43 g CaCl₂ 2H₂O ------------   x

                          x = (8.43 x 36) / 147

                          x = 303.48 / 147

                          x = 2.06 g of H₂O

3.- Total mass of water

     mass of water = 2.06 + 40

                              = 42.06 g

4.- Calculate molality

     molality = number of moles / mass of solvent (kg)

     molality = 0.057 / 0.0421

     molality = 1.4

Answer:

[CaCl₂·2H₂O] = 1.43 m

Explanation:

Molality is mol of solute / kg of solvent.

Mass of solvent = 40 g

Let's convert g to kg → 40 g / 1000 = 0.04 kg

Let's determine the moles of solute (mass / molar mass)

8.43 g / 146.98 g/mol = 0.057 mol

Molality = 0.057 mol / 0.04 kg → 1.43

Design an experiment to collect data that supports the claim that a 1.0M NaCl solution is a homogenous mixture.
Alika [10]
The claim is that NaCl mixture is a homogeneous mixture.
Homogeneous mixture means that the components of the mixtures cannot be determined or separated by the naked eye. However, these components can be separated using physical means, such as boiling, evaporation and condensation which will be used in this experiment.

First, we need to prepare one molar solution of NaCl. To do so, we will dilute a mass of 58.44 grams (molar mass of NaCl) in 1 liter of water.
By this, we will have NaCl solution.

We can notice that once the NaCl is diluted in water, all what you can see is a clear solution. You cannot see the separate particles of NaCl in water.
..............> observation I

Now, we will heat this solution until it boils and water starts evaporating. We will place a cold surface above the steam coming out from the boiling solution.

What we will observe is that when all the water evaporates, we can see white precipitate of NaCl in the bottom of the container. Examining the cold surface placed above the steam, we can see that the water has condensed on this surface.
.........>observation II

Based on this, we managed to use boiling, evaporation and condensation (physical methods) to restore the components of the solution separately.
.............>conclusion

Based on observation I, observation II and the conclusion. we were able to prove that NaCl solution is a homogeneous mixture.

Student carries out a titration to determine the concentration of a solution of
Nimfa-mama [501]

The concentration of the Nitric acid solution : 0.114 M

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution (analyte) by reacting with another solution whose known concentration (usually a standard solution) is called the titrant. Determination of the endpoint/equivalence point of the reaction can use indicators according to the appropriate pH range  

Titrations can be acid-base titration, depositional titration, and redox titration. An acid-base titration is the principle of neutralization of acids and bases  

Reaction

HNO₃ + NaOH → NaNO₃ + H₂O​

Concentration a standard solution  of sodium hydroxide :  0.0998 mol/dm³ , and the volume = 25 cm³

moles NaOH=

\tt mol=M\times V\\\\mol=0.0998\times 25\\\\mol=2.495~mlmoles

<em>From the equation, mol ratio HNO₃ : NaOH = 1 : 1, so mol HNO₃ = mol NaOH=</em><em>2.495 mlmoles</em>

<em></em>

The volume of HNO₃ = 21.8 cm³, so the concentration :

\tt M=\dfrac{n}{V}\\\\M=\dfrac{2.495}{21.8}\\\\M=0.114
