Answer:

A. NaHCO₃

Explanation:

NaHCO₃ ⇒ NaOH + H₂CO₃

NaOH is a strong base and H₂CO₃ is a weak acid. Therefore, NaHCO₃ is a salt of a strong base-weak acid reaction. The salt is basic because carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) is a weak acid so it remains undissociated. So, there is a presence of additional OH⁻ ions that makes the solution basic.

Hope that helps.

Ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) is used as an antifreeze in cars. If 250 g of ethylene glycol is added to 3.00 kg of water, what is the

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

2,909 M

Explanation:

molair mass is of.ethylene is 26,04 g/mol

first you need to calculate how much mL 3 kg is. You can do this by using the density of ethylene: 1,1 g/mL.

3000 g x 1.1 = 3300 mL = 3,3 L

Next you need to calculate the amount of moles:

250 g / 26,04 g/mol = 9,60 mol

Now you can calculate the molarity:

9,6/3.3 = 2,909 M

I don't know the answer for the second question. I'm sorry.

3.5g of a Certain compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen, and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 15

shutvik [7]

Answer:

C₅H₁₀O₅

Explanation:

1. Calculate the mass of each element in 2.78 mg of X.

(a) Mass of C

$\text{Mass of C} = \text{5.13 g CO}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{12.01 g C}}{\text{44.01 g }\text{CO}_{2}}= \text{1.400 g C}$

(b) Mass of H

$\text{Mass of H} = \text{2.10 g H$_{2}$O}\times \dfrac{\text{2.016 g H}}{\text{18.02 g H$_{2}$O}} = \text{0.2349 g H}$

(c) Mass of O

Mass of O = 3.5 - 1.400 - 0.2349 = 1.87 g

2. Calculate the moles of each element

$\text{Moles of C = 1400 mg C}\times\dfrac{\text{1 mmol C}}{\text{12.01 mg C }} = \text{116.6 mmol C}\\\\\text{Moles of H = 234.9 mg H} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol H}}{\text{1.008 mg H}} = \text{233.1 mmol H}\\\\\text{Moles of O = 1870 mg O} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol O}}{\text{16.00 mg O}} = \text{116 mmol O}$

3. Calculate the molar ratios

Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

$\text{C: } \dfrac{116.6}{116.6}= 1\\\\\text{H: } \dfrac{233.1}{116.6} = 1.999\\\\\text{O: } \dfrac{116}{116.6} = 1.00$

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer

C:H:O = 1:2:1

5. Write the empirical formula

The empirical formula is CH₂O.

6. Calculate the molecular formula.

EF Mass = (12.01 + 2.016 + 16.00) u = 30.03 u

The molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula.

MF = (EF)ₙ

$n = \dfrac{\text{MF Mass}}{\text{EF Mass }} = \dfrac{\text{150 u}}{\text{30.03 u}} = 5.00 \approx 5$

MF = (CH₂O)₅ = C₅H₁₀O₅

The molecular formula of X is C₅H₁₀O₅.

If 17.8 grams of KOH dissolve in enough water to make a 198-gram solution, what is the concentration in percent by mass?

sleet_krkn [62]

Solute of solution = 17.8 g

Solvn = 198 g

% = 17.8 / 198

w% = 0.089 x 100 = 8.9% by mass

hope this helps!
