Answer:

The molarity is 1.26 $\frac{ moles}{L}$

Explanation:

Molarity is a unit of concentration that is based on the volume of a solution and represents the number of moles of solutes contained in a liter. The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the liters of the solution and is expressed in units (moles / liter).

$Molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{Volume}$

You must calculate the number of moles of CuSO₄. So, being:

Cu: 63.54 g/mole
S: 32 g/mole
O: 16 g/mole

the molar mass of CuSO₄ is

CuSO₄=63.54 g/mole + 32 g/mole + 4* 16 g/mole= 159.54 g/mole

Then it is possible to apply the following rule of three: if 159.54 g of CuSO₄ are present in 1 mole, 10 g in how many moles are they?

$moles=\frac{10 g*1 mole}{159.54 g}$

moles= 0.063 moles

Then:

number of moles of solute= 0.063 moles
Volume= 50 mL= 0.05 L (Being 1L=1000 mL)

Replacing in the definition of molarity:

$Molarity=\frac{0.063 moles}{0.05 L}$

Molarity= 1.26 $\frac{ moles}{L}$

The molarity is 1.26 $\frac{ moles}{L}$

A 0.1873 g sample of a pure, solid acid, H2X (a diprotic acid) was dissolved in water and titrated with 0.1052 M NaOH solution.

puteri [66]

Answer:

We need 41.8 mL of NaOH

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of H2X = 0.1873 grams

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.1052 M

Molar mass of H2X = 85.00 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

H2X (aq) +2 NaOH (aq) → Na2X (aq) + 2H2O(l)

Step 3: Calculate moles of H2X

Moles H2X = mass H2X / Molar mass H2X

Moles H2X = 0.1873 grams / 85.00 g/mol

Moles H2X = 0.0022 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of NaOH

For 1 mol H2X we need 2 moles NaOH to produce 1 mole of Na2X and 2 moles of H2O

For 0.0022 moles of H2X we need 0.0044 moles of NaOH

Step 5: Calculate volume of NaOH

Volume of NaOH = moles of NaOH / molarity of NaOH

Volume of NaOH = 0.0044 moles / 0.1052 M

Volume NaOH = 0.0418 L = 41.8 mL

We need 41.8 mL of NaOH

Convert 2.39 x 1022 molecules of water into moles of water

torisob [31]

Answer:

$0.0397\ \text{mol}$

Explanation:

Number of molecules of water = $2.39\times 10^{22}$

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$

Number of moles is given by

$\dfrac{2.39\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}$

$=0.0397\ \text{mol}$

The number of moles of water is $0.0397\ \text{mol}$ .

An enzyme is discovered that catalyzes the chemical reaction SAD ↔ HAPPY A team of motivated researchers sets out to study the e

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The $K_{m}$ of a substrate will be "10 μM".

Explanation:

The given values are:

$E_{t} = 20 \ nM$

$[Substract] = 40 \ \mu M$

$K_{cat}=600 \ s^{-1}$

Reaction velocity, $Vo=9.6 \ \mu M s^{-1}$

As we know,

⇒ $Vo=\frac{K_{cat}[E_{t}][S]}{K_{m}+[S]}$

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒ $9.6=\frac{600\times 20\times 10^{-3}\times 40}{K_{m}+40}$

⇒ $K_{m}+40=\frac{600\times 20\times 10^{-3}\times 40}{9.6}$

⇒ $K_{m}+40=50$

On subtracting "40" from both sides, we get

⇒ $K_{m}+40-40=50-40$

⇒ $K_{m}=10 \ \mu M$

What state of matter has the strongest intermolecular forces?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Solid

Explanation:

As the temperature continues to drop, the matter forms a solid. Due to the solid's low kinetic energy, particles have no "time" to move around, the particles have more "time" to be attracted. Therefore, solids have the strongest intramolecular forces (because they have the strongest attraction).
