Answer:

There are approximately 0.271\; \rm mol of formula units in that \rm 15.2\; g of \rm KOH (the solute of this solution.)

Explanation:

A solution includes two substances: the solute and the solvent. Note the solution here contains significantly more water than \rm KOH. Hence, assume that water is the solvent (as it is in many other solutions.)

The (molar) formula mass of \rm KOH is necessary for finding the number of moles of

  • One \rm K atom,
  • One \rm O atom, and
  • One \rm  H atom.

The formula mass of \rm KOH will thus be the sum of:

  • The mass of one mole of \rm K atoms,
  • The mass of one mole of \rm O atoms, and
  • The mass of one mole of \rm H atoms.

On the other hand, the mass (in grams) of one mole of atoms of an element is (numerically) the same as its relative atomic mass. The relative atomic mass data can be found on most modern periodic tables.

Relative atomic mass data from a modern periodic table:

  • \rm K: 39.098.
  • \rm O: 15.999.
  • \rm H: 1.008.

For example, the relative atomic mass of \rm K (potassium, atomic number 19) is 39.098 (3 sig. fig.) Hence, the mass of one mole of

The formula mass of \rm KOH is the sum of these three masses:

\begin{aligned}& M(\mathrm{KOH}) \\ &\approx 39.098 + 15.999 + 1.008 \\ &= 56.105\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}.

The number of moles of \rm KOH formula units in this 15.2\; \rm g sample would be:

\begin{aligned}n &= \frac{m(\mathrm{KOH})}{M(\mathrm{KOH})} \\ &\approx \frac{15.2\; \rm g}{56.105\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 0.271\; \rm mol \end{aligned}.

When 250 ml of water is added to 35 ml of 0.2 M HCl
Paladinen [302]
Assuming that you’re looking for the concentration of water in the solution, then it would be 0.028 M.

You would have to use the formula:
c1v1 = c2v2, where c =concentration and
v = volume

C1 = ?
V1 = 250 mL
C2 = 0.2 M
V2 = 35 mL

C1 x 250 mL = 0.2 M x 35 mL

C1 = (0.2 M x 35 mL) / 250 mL

C1 = 0.028 M of water added to 35mL of 0.2M HCl

Therefore, there is 0.028 M of water added to 35mL of 0.2M HCl

What energy sources boil the water in geothermal energy
GREYUIT [131]
The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity. Many power plants still use fossil fuels to boil water for steam. Geothermal power plants, however, use steam produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface.

When iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) is exposed to carbon monoxide (CO) under high pressure, metallic iron (Fe) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The equation is Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ Fe + CO₂.

The balanced reaction equation is Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂.

Explanation:

First, we have to write our equation. It's actually pretty straightforward - first we look for our reactants (looks like it's Fe₂O₃ and CO), then we look for our products (Fe and CO₂). Then, we have to balance it so that both sides have the same number of both element.

Currently, we have the equation Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ Fe + CO₂. There are 2 Fe atoms, 4 O atoms, and 1 C atom on the left side. There is 1 Fe atom, 2 O atoms, and 1 C atom on the right side.

First thing we can do is give our Fe on the right side a coefficient of 2. This will make it equivalent to the 2 Fe atoms on the left side:

Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ 2Fe + CO₂

Next, we need to make sure that we have the same number of C and O atoms on each side. This takes a little bit of thinking, but what we have to do is give CO a coefficient of 3 and CO₂ a coefficient of 3. This gives us 6 O atoms on the left side (when we include the O₃) and 6 O atoms on the right side (since there are 3 O₂ atoms and 3 times 2 is 6). Here's what that looks like:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂

And that's how I balanced the equation. It can be confusing, but with enough practice, it will get easier and easier. :)
