An aqueous solution contains 32.7% KCl (wt/wt%). what is the mole fraction of KCl in the solution
inna [77]

The mole fraction of KCl in the solution is 0.1051

calculation

mole fraction of KCl in solution = moles of KCl / total number of moles(moles of KCl +moles of H2O)

moles=mass/molar mass

mass of KCl=32.7g

molar mass of KCl= 39 +35.5

moles of KCl is therefore= 32.7g/74.5 g/mol=0.439 moles

find the moles of H2O= mass of H2O/molar mass

mass of H2O=100-32.7=67.3g

molar mass of H2O=( 1 x2) +16=18 g/mol

moles = 67.3/18 =3.739 moles

total moles=3.739+0.439=4.178 moles

mole fraction is therefore=0.439/4.178=0.1051

Which statement is true regarding methane and ammonia?
sukhopar [10]
The options for given question are as follow,

1) Methane molecules show hydrogen bonding. 
<span>2) Ammonia molecules show hydrogen bonding. </span>
<span>3) Methane has stronger hydrogen bonding than ammonia. </span>
<span>4) Both the compounds do not show hydrogen bonding. </span>
<span>5) Both the compounds have strong hydrogen bonding.
</span>
Answer:
            Correct answer is Option-2 (Ammonia molecules show hydrogen bonding).

Explanation:
                   Hydrogen bond interactions are formed when a partial positive hydrogen atom attached to most electronegative atom of one molecule interacts with the partial negative most electronegative element of another molecule. So, in Ammonia hydrogen gets partial positive charge as nitrogen is highly electronegative. While the C-H bond in Methane is non-polar and fails to form hydrogen bond interactions.

The Center for Disease Control publishes articles explaining the causes of seasonal West Nile virus. Research proves mosquitoes
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Mosquitoes transmit the virus as parasites which feed on the blood of host organisms and inject the virus during feeding.

Explanation:

According to the CDC, the seasonal West Nile virus is caused by the mosquitoes of freshwater transmit this disease to humans and others. These mosquitoes are feed on the birds and pick these viruses.

These viruses stick on mosquitoes and when they feed on the blood of humans they transmit these viruses by injecting viruses into the blood of humans.

If a frog initially contained 2 grams of carbon-14 and the half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years, how much carbon-14 remains in
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. In this case the half life of carbon-14 is 5.730 years. 
Using the formula;
New mass = original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives (in this case n=1 ) 
New mass = 2 g × (1/2)^1     
                  = 1 g
Therefore; the mass of carbon-14 that remains will be 1 g
