Answer :

(a) The molar mass of C_2H_3Cl_3O_2 is, 165.5 g/mole

(b) The moles of C_2H_3Cl_3O_2 is, 3.02 moles

(c) The mass in grams of 2.0\times 10^{-2} mole chloral hydrate is, 3.31 g

(d) The number of chlorine atoms in 5.0 g chloral hydrate is, 5.4\times 10^{22}

(e) The mass of chloral hydrate will be, 1.55 g

(f) The mass of exactly 500 molecules of chloral hydrate is, 1.99\times 10^{23}

Explanation :

(a) To calculate the molar mass of chloral hydrate.

The formula of chloral hydrate is, C_2H_3Cl_3O_2

Atomic mass of carbon = 12 g/mole

Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mole

Atomic mass of oxygen = 16 g/mole

Atomic mass of chlorine = 35.5 g/mole

Now we have to determine the molar mass of chloral hydrate.

\text{Molar mass of }C_2H_3Cl_3O_2=2(12g/mole)+3(1g/mole)+3(35.5g/mole)+2(16g/mole)=165.5g/mole[/tex]

The molar mass of C_2H_3Cl_3O_2 is, 165.5 g/mole

(b) Now we have to determine the moles of C_2H_3Cl_3O_2.

\text{Moles of }C_2H_3Cl_3O_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_2H_3Cl_3O_2}{\text{Molar mass of }C_2H_3Cl_3O_2}=\frac{500.0g}{165.5g/mole}=3.02moles

The moles of C_2H_3Cl_3O_2 is, 3.02 moles

(c) Now we have to determine the mass in grams of 2.0\times 10^{-2} mole chloral hydrate.

\text{Mass of }C_2H_3Cl_3O_2=\text{Moles of }C_2H_3Cl_3O_2\times \text{Molar mass of }C_2H_3Cl_3O_2

\text{Mass of }C_2H_3Cl_3O_2=(2.0\times 10^{-2}mole)\times (165.5g/mole)=3.31g

The mass in grams of 2.0\times 10^{-2} mole chloral hydrate is, 3.31 g

(d) To calculate the number of chlorine atoms are in 5.0 g chloral hydrate.

First we have to determine the moles of C_2H_3Cl_3O_2.

\text{Moles of }C_2H_3Cl_3O_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_2H_3Cl_3O_2}{\text{Molar mass of }C_2H_3Cl_3O_2}=\frac{5g}{165.5g/mole}=0.03moles

Now we have to calculate the number of chlorine atoms in chloral hydrate.

In C_2H_3Cl_3O_2, there are, 2 carbon atoms, 3 hydrogen atoms, 3 chlorine atoms and 2 oxygen atoms.

As, 1 mole of C_2H_3Cl_3O_2 contains 3\times 6.022\times 10^{23} chlorine atoms

So, 0.03 mole of C_2H_3Cl_3O_2 contains 0.03\times 3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=5.4\times 10^{22} chlorine atoms

The number of chlorine atoms in 5.0 g chloral hydrate is, 5.4\times 10^{22}

(e) To calculate the mass of chloral hydrate would contain 1.0 g Cl.

As, 3\times 35.5g of chlorine present in 165.5 g of C_2H_3Cl_3O_2

So, 1 g of chlorine present in \frac{165.5}{3\times 35.5}=1.55g of C_2H_3Cl_3O_2

The mass of chloral hydrate will be, 1.55 g

(f) To calculate the mass of exactly 500 molecules of chloral hydrate.

As, 6.022\times 10^{23} molecules of chloral hydrate has 165.5 g mass of chloral hydrate

So, 500 molecules of chloral hydrate has \frac{6.022\times 10^{23}}{500}\times 165.5=1.99\times 10^{23} mass of chloral hydrate

The mass of exactly 500 molecules of chloral hydrate is, 1.99\times 10^{23}

Hydroxylamine is a weak molecular base with kb = 6.6 x 10-9. what is the ph of a 0.0500 m solution of hydroxylamine?
7nadin3 [17]
Answer is: pH of hydroxylamine solution is 9,23.

Kb(NH₂OH) = 1,8·10⁻⁵<span>.
c</span>₀(NH₂OH)<span> = 0,0500 M = 0,05 mol/L.
c(NH</span>₂⁺) = c(OH⁻) = x.

c(NH₂OH<span>) = 0,05 mol/L - x.
Kb = c(NH</span>₂⁺) · c(OH⁻) / c(NH₂OH).

0,0000000066 = x² /  (0,05 mol/L - x). 

solve quadratic equation: x = c(OH⁻) = 0,000018 mol/L.<span>
pOH = -log(</span>0,000018 mol/L) = 4,74.<span>
pH = 14 - 4,74 = 9,23.</span>

Why is nucleus of an atom charged is negatively charged?
Damm [24]

Answer:

Charge is caused by a flow of electrons, since electrons are around the nucleus they can be lost or gained by atoms. When an atom gets charged, it gains a charge, that is, it gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, when an atom gains one, it also becomes negatively charged.

A chemist encounters an unknown metal. They drop the metal into a graduated cylinder containing water, and find the volume chang
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The density of the metal is 0.561 g/mL

Explanation:

The computation of the density of the metal is shown below;

As we know that

The Density of the metal is

= \frac{mass}{volume}

where,

Mass = 4.9g

Change in volume = 6.9 mL

Now place these values to the above formula

So, the density of the metal is

= \frac{4.9g}{6.9mL}

= 0.561 g/mL

Hence, the density of the metal is 0.561 g/mL

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct density could arrive

Calculate the number of moles of NaOH contained in 250. mL of a 0.05M solution.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

0.0125mol

Explanation:

Molarity (M) = number of moles (n) ÷ volume (V)

n = Molarity × Volume

According to this question, a 0.05M solution contains 250 mL of NaOH. The volume in litres is as follows:

1000mL = 1L

250mL = 250/1000

= 0.250L

n = 0.05 × 0.250

n = 0.0125

The number of moles of NaOH is 0.0125mol.
