Answer:

Mass fraction = 0.08004

Mole fraction = 0.0377

Explanation:

Given, Mass of NaOH = 8.70 g

Mass of solution = 8.70 + 100 g = 108.70 g

$Mass\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {8.70}{108.70}$ = 0.08004

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{8.70\ g}{39.997\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ NaOH= 0.2175\ mol$

Given, Mass of water = 100 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0153 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{100\ g}{18.0153\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ water= 5.5508\ mol$

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {n_{NaOH}}{n_{NaOH}+n_{water}}$

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {0.2175}{0.2175+5.5508}=0.0377$

Identify the correct coefificients to balance it<br> -C3H8+O2 to -CO2 +-H2O

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Explanation:

${\rm ?\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Among the four species in this reaction, $\rm C_3H_8$ is species with the largest number of atoms per molecule. Assume that the coefficient of this compound is $1$ .

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {?\; \rm CO_2} + {?\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Number of atoms on the left-hand side of the reaction:

$\rm C$ : $1 \times 3 = 3$ .
$\rm H$ : $1 \times 8 = 8$ .
$\rm O$ : not found yet.

By the conservation of atoms, the number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction should match those on the left-hand side. In this reaction, $\rm CO_2$ is the only product with carbon atoms, whereas $\rm H_2O$ is the only product with hydrogen atoms. These $3$ carbon atoms and $8$ hydrogen atoms would correspond to:

$3 / 1 = 3$ $\rm CO_2$ molecules, and
$8 / 2 = 4$ $\rm H_2O$ molecules.

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm ?\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

Number of atoms on the right-hand side of the reaction:

$\rm C$ : $3 \times 1 = 3$ .
$\rm H$ : $4 \times 2 = 8$ .
$\rm O$ : $3 \times 2 + 4 \times 1 = 10$ .

The number of $\rm O$ atoms on the left-hand side should match those on the right-hand side. In this reaction, $\rm O_2$ is the only reactant with $\rm O\!$ atoms. These $10$ $\rm \! O$ atoms would correspond to:

$5$ $\rm O_2$ molecules.

${\rm 1\; C_3H_8} + {\rm 5\; O_2} \to {3\; \rm CO_2} + {4\; \rm H_2O}$ .

A transfer of heat within a liquid or gas that involves warm particles moving in currents is?

myrzilka [38]

It is called convection. When warm air, or current, moves up and disperse outwards as cold air, or current, moves into the warmer region.
