Answer:

Density = 1.56 g/mL

Explanation:

We have two sort of concentrations in here, so let's combine them.

% by mass means grams of solute in 100 g of solution

M means, moles of solute in 1L of solution.

We know that our solute is KOH (Molar mass = 56.1 g/mol)

We convert the moles of solute to grams:

56.1 g/mol . 13.9 moles = 779.79 g

Now, we know that 50 g of solute are in 100 g of solution

Then, 779.79 g of solute will be contained in (100 . 779.79)/50 = 1559.58 g of solution

Density = mass / volume

1559.58 g of solution / 1000 mL of solution = 1.56 g/mL

olganol [36]

When highly electronegative element like oxygen is directly attached to less electronegative element like hydrogen the electrons from less electronegative elements are attracted toward the highly electronegative element, making the less electronegative element deficient in electron density (partial positive) and a partial negative charge on more electronegative element is created. In such situation the intermolecular forces formed are dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bond interaction like in HF.

If the volume of two containers stays the same , and one containers temperature is lowered, what happens to the pressure in the

melisa1 [442]

Gay-Lussacs law states that pressure is directly proportional to temperature at constant volume.
in this case the volumes of the 2 containers remain the same therefore volume is constant.
P/ T = k
where P - pressure, T - temperature and k - constant
when temperature decreases the pressure too decreases and vice versa.
if temperature of one container is lowered the pressure also reduces.
since one containers temperature is lowered the pressure in that container reduces.

answer is when temperature is lowered, pressure too is lowered.
