Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf molarity \approx 3 \ M \ KCl}}

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter. The formula is:

molarity= \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}

We are given grams of solute and liters of solution, so we must convert both before calculating molarity.

<h3>1. Convert Grams to Moles</h3>

We convert grams to moles using the molar mass. This value is found on the Periodic Table. It is the same as the atomic mass, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units (amu).

We have the compound KCl, so we look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

  • Potassium (K): 39.098 g/mol
  • Chlorine (Cl): 35.45 g/mol

The compound does not contain subscripts, so we can add the molar masses together to find the molar mass of the compound.

  • Potassium chloride (KCl): 39.098+ 35.45= 74.548 g/mol

Use the molar mass as a ratio.

\frac {74.548 \ g\ KCl}{1 \ mol \ KCl}

Multiply by 140 grams of KCl.

140 \ g\ KCl*\frac {74.548 \ g\ KCl}{1 \ mol \ KCl}

Flip the ratio so the units of grams of KCl cancel.

140 \ g\ KCl*\frac{1 \ mol \ KCl} {74.548 \ g\ KCl}

140 *\frac{1 \ mol \ KCl} {74.548 }

1.877984654 \ mol \ KCl

<h3>2. Convert Milliliters to Liters</h3>

1 liter contains 1000 milliliters. Create another ratio.

\frac{ 1 \ L}{1000 \ mL}

Multiply by 600 milliliters (the value we are converting).

600 \ mL *\frac{ 1 \ L}{1000 \ mL}

The units of milliliters cancel.

600 \ *\frac{ 1 \ L}{1000 }

0.6 \ L

<h3>3. Calculate Molarity</h3>

Now we know the moles of solute and the liters of solution.

  • 1.877984654  mol  KCl and 0.6 L

Substitute the values into the molarity formula.

molarity= \frac {1.877984654 \ mol \ KCl}{0.6 \ L}

molarity= 3.129974424 \ mol \ KCl/L

The original measurements of grams and milliliters have 2 and 1 significant figures. We must round our answer to the least number of sig figs: 1.

For the number we found, that is the ones place. The 1 in the tenths place tells us to leave the 3 in the ones place.

molarity \approx 3 \ mol \ KCl/L

1 mole per liter is equal to 1 molar or M. Convert the units.

molarity \approx 3 \ M \ KCl

The molarity is approximately <u>3 M KCl.</u>

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>They each partially describe the bonding in a molecule.</em>

Explanation:

Some chemical molecules cannot be described completely by using only one Lewis structure. In these cases, we can describe the molecule by drawing 2 or more Lewis structures, and the structures are called <u>resonance structures</u>. The overall molecular structure is explained by all the resonance structures together. So, they each describe the bonding in the molecule only partially.

What are the two types of collisions? What is the difference between them? Types: a. Types: b. Compare and contrast the two type
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The two types of collisions are :

Type a)

<u>Elastic collision</u>

Type b)

<u>Inelastic collision</u>

Explanation:

Collision : It is the event when two bodies collide with each other for small period of time.

During collision , the bodies exert force to each other.

Example :

When boxer hits with punches .

When bat hits the ball in cricket match.

So, collision is short duration interaction of two objects. When the objects collides , there is  change in their velocity.

All collision follow law of conservation of momentum . Their type is decided by , whether they follow conservation of energy also.

<u>Compare and contrast the two types</u>

a) Elastic collision : Those collision in which no loss or gain of kinetic energy will occur. They follow conservation of kinetic energy. Example : ideal gaseous molecule

b) Inelastic collision : Those collision in which Change in kinetic energy will occur. They do not follow conservation of kinetic energy.Almost all conservation are inelastic.

Here Kinetic energy get converted into other form of energy.
