Answer:

d) The dilution equation works because the number of moles remains the same.

Explanation:

Let’s say that you have 1 mol of a solute in I L of solution. The concentration is 1 mol·L⁻¹. and <em>M</em>₁<em>V</em>₁ = 1 mol.

Now, you dilute the solution to a volume of 2 L. You still have 1 mol of solute, but in 2 L of solution. The new concentration is 0.5 mol·L⁻¹.

The volume has doubled, but the volume has halved, and <em>M</em>₂<em>V</em>₂ = 1 mol.

b) <em>Wrong</em>. The molar concentration changes on dilution.

c) <em>Wrong</em>. The volume changes on dilution.

a) <em>Wrong</em>, although technically correct, because if the moles don’t change, the mass doesn’t change either. However, the formula <em>M</em>₁<em>V</em>₁ has units mol·L⁻¹ × L = mol. Thus, in the formula, it is moles that are constant.

The dilution equation work M1V1 =M2V2 work because the number of moles of solute remains the same.

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2><h3>Dilution </h3>

Dilution refers to the addition of solvent such as water to a solution. When dilution is done the amount of solute is not affected but the amount of solvent increases while the concentration decreases.

<h3>Concentration </h3>

It is the opposite of dilution where by a solvent is removed from a solution thereby increasing the concentration of the solute.

<h3>Dilution equation.</h3>

The dilution equation is given by;

M1V1=M2V2

Where M1 is the initial concentration of the solution

V1 is the initial volume of the solution

M1 is the concentration of the new solution

V1 is the volume of the new volume

Initial solution

The initial solution before dilution is called the stock solution. It is the solution before dilution process is done.

<h3>Final solution</h3>

Final solution is called the diluted solution. It is the solution obtained after the process of dilution.

Since dilution involves addition of solvent, then the amount of solvent in this case water increases , the amount of solute remains constant while the concentration of solute decreases.

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 20 grams of CaBr2<br> in 0.50 liter of solution?

ELEN [110]

Answer:

2 M

Explanation:

mole weight of CaBr2 = 40 + 2 * 79.9 = 199.8 gm

20 gm is then 20/199.8 =.1 mole

.1 mole / .50 liter = 2 M

Identify the false statement from the following.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The false statement from the above is that: Temporary charge imbalances in the molecules lead to London dispersion forces.

<h3>What are the factors that affect London dispersion forces?</h3>

Generally, the factors which affects the London dispersion forces a dispersion force are as follows:

Shape of the molecules
Distance between molecules
Polarizability of the molecules

However, London dispersion forces simply refers to a sort of temporary attractive force formed when electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form dipoles.

So therefore, temporary charge imbalances in the molecules lead to London dispersion forces is a false statement

If an atom has more protons than an electron, its net charge will be

Ierofanga [76]

Answer: If an object has more protons than electrons, then the net charge on the object is positive. If there are more electrons than protons, then the net charge on the object is negative. If there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, then the object is electrically neutral.

The skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage form the __________ skeleton.

Leokris [45]

<span>The skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage are the main part of the axial skeleton.

So, the answer is that the skull, vertebral column, and thoraic cage form the axial skeleton.

If you look at a diagram of the axial skeleton you will see the bones of the head (skull) , the spine (vertebral column), and the rib cage (toracic cage)
