A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. What is the weight/

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is :

2.67%

Explanation:

Note : Look at the density of potassium nitrate in water if given in the question.

You are calculating weight /Volume not weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute

Here the weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is asked : So first convert the VOLUME OF SOLUTION into MASS

Density of potassium nitrate in water KNO3 = 2.11 g/mL

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Density = 2.11 g/mL

Volume of solution = 86.4 mL

$2.11=\frac{mass}{86.4}$

$mass = 2.11\times 86.4$

$mass=182.3grams$

Mass of Solute = 4.87 g

Mass of Solution = 183.2 g

w/w% of the solute =

$= \frac{mass\ of\ solute}{mass\ of\ solution}\times 100$

$=\frac{4.87}{183.2}\times 100$

w/w%=2.67%

Which biogeochemical cycle has the least activity because the essential element is mostly stored in rock?

loris [4]

The biogeochemical cycle that has the least activity because its essential element is mostly stored in rock is the phosphorus cycle. Phosphorus, unlike the other essential elements, is commonly found as a solid. This is why the atmosphere does not play a role in this cycle. Instead, phosphorus remains on land, and is mostly found in rocks and minerals.

The vapor pressure of ethanol is 30°C at 98.5 mmHg and the heat of vaporization is 39.3 kJ/mol. Determine the normal boiling poi

Gelneren [198K]

Answer : The normal boiling point of ethanol will be, $348.67K$ or $75.67^oC$

Explanation :

The Clausius- Clapeyron equation is :

$\ln (\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R}\times (\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2})$

where,

$P_1$ = vapor pressure of ethanol at $30^oC$ = 98.5 mmHg

$P_2$ = vapor pressure of ethanol at normal boiling point = 1 atm = 760 mmHg

$T_1$ = temperature of ethanol = $30^oC=273+30=303K$

$T_2$ = normal boiling point of ethanol = ?

$\Delta H_{vap}$ = heat of vaporization = 39.3 kJ/mole = 39300 J/mole

R = universal constant = 8.314 J/K.mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\ln (\frac{760mmHg}{98.5mmHg})=\frac{39300J/mole}{8.314J/K.mole}\times (\frac{1}{303K}-\frac{1}{T_2})$

$T_2=348.67K=348.67-273=75.67^oC$

Hence, the normal boiling point of ethanol will be, $348.67K$ or $75.67^oC$
