A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of potassium chloride. The concentration
of a solution equals the mass of what's dissolved divided by the total volume of the solution. Here's how the student prepared the solution: The label on the graduated cylinder says: empty weight: She put some solid potassium chloride into the graduated cylinder and weighed it. With the potassium chloride added, the cylinder weighed . She added water to the graduated cylinder and dissolved the potassium chloride completely. Then she read the total volume of the solution from the markings on the graduated cylinder. The total volume of the solution was . What concentration should the student write down in her lab notebook? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits
1 answer:
Answer:
3.65 g / ml correct to 3 sig. fig.
Explanation:
The computation of the concentration required is shown below:
As we know that
[A] = mass of solute ÷ volume of solution
Before that first find the mass of solute
Given that
Initial weight = 5.55g
And,
Final weight = 92.7 g
So,
Mass of KCl is
= 92.7 - 5.55
= 87.15 g ~ 87.2 g
Now the KCi is fully dissolved, so the volume is 23.9 ml
So, concentration is
= 87.2 g ÷ 23.9 ml
= 3.65 g / ml correct to 3 sig. fig.

Orbital shell notation of fluorine is 2. 7 while that of oxygen s 2. 6. This means that these elements (that follow each other in the periodic table) will have high electronegativity in molecules due to their high atomic number (which causes them to strongly attract electron orbital shell closer to their nucleus). NB: Atomic number of a peroid increased from left to right of the periodic table.
Therefore, in the first molecule, the negative dipole would most likely be located between the F atoms In the second molecule the negative molecule would be most likely located in the between the O and F atoms.
