A 0.89% (w/v) sodium chloride solution is referred to as physiological saline solution because it has the same concentration of

maks197457 [2]

1) 0.89% m/v = 0.89 grams of NaCl / 100 ml of solution

=> 8.9 grams of NaCl in 1000 ml of solution = 8.9 grams of NaCl in 1 liter of solution

2) Molarity = M = number of moles of solute / liters of solution

=> calculate the number of moles of 8.9 grams of NaCl

3) molar mass of NaCl = 23.0 g /mol + 35.5 g/mol = 58.5 g / mol

4) number of moles of NaCl = mass / molar mass = 8.9 g / 58.5 g / mol = 0.152 mol

5) M = 0.152 mol NaCl / 1 liter solution = 0.152 M

Answer: 0.152 M

What are three forms of energy that transform into a hot air balloon? ___ to ___ to ___

34kurt

Answer:

Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy a body possesses by being in motion. Kinetic energy takes place when the air inside the balloon gets exposed to heat. The hot air rises which will create and fill the shape of the balloon and allows it to move. Heat energy, also known as thermal energy occurs.

A 0.4647-g sample of a compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in oxygen to yield 0.01962 mol of

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can show how the empirical formula is found by following the shown below procedure:

1. Compute the moles of carbon in carbon dioxide as the only source of carbon at the products:

$n_C=0.01962molCO_2*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2} =0.01962molC$

2. Compute the moles of hydrogen in water as the only source of hydrogen at the products:

$n_H=0.01961molH_2O*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=0.03922molH$

3. Compute the mass of oxygen by subtracting the mass of both carbon and hydrogen from the 0.4647-g sample:

$m_O=0.4647g-0.01962molC*\frac{12gC}{1molC}-0.03922molH*\frac{1gH}{1molH} =0.1900gO$

4. Compute the moles of oxygen by using its molar mass:

$n_O=0.1900gO*\frac{1molO}{16gO}=0.01188molO$

5. Divide the moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen by the moles of oxygen (smallest one) to find the subscripts in the empirical formula:

$C=\frac{0.01962}{0.01188}=1.65\\ \\H=\frac{0.03922}{0.01188} =3.3\\\\O=\frac{0.01188}{0.01188} =1$

6. Search for the closest whole number (in this case multiply by 2):

$C_3H_6O_2$

Moreover, the empirical formula suggests this compound could be carboxylic acid since it has two oxygen atoms, nevertheless, this is not true since the molar mass is 222.27 g/mol, therefore, we should compute the molar mass of the empirical formula, that is:

$M=12*3+1*6+16*2=74g/mol$

Which is about three times in the molecular formula, for that reason, the actual formula is:

$C_9H_{18}O_6$

It suggest that the compound has a highly oxidizing character due to the presence of oxygen, therefore, we cannot predict the distribution of the functional groups as it could contain, carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl or even peroxi.

Best regards.
