Answer:

15%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of sugar = 15 g

Mass of water = 85 g

Percentage of sugar in the solution =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solute (sugar) = 15 g

Mass of solvent (water) = 85 g

Mass of solution =?

Mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent

Mass of solution = 15 + 85

Mass of solution = 100 g

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of the sugar in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solute (sugar) = 15 g

Mass of solution = 100 g

Percentage of sugar in the solution =?

Percentage = solute /solution × 100

Percentage = 15 / 100 × 100

Percentage of sugar in the solution = 15%

Consider the reaction 3CH4(g)→C3H8(g)+2H2(g).

padilas [110]

From the calculations performed, the free energy change for the reaction is 72 kJ/mol.

<h3>What is the equilibrium constant?</h3>

The equilibrium constant is a value that shows the extent to which reactants have been converted to products.

Given that the equation of the reaction is;

3CH4(g)→C3H8(g)+2H2(g)

Then;

PC3H8 = 0.013 atm

PH2 = 2.3×10−2 atm

PCH4 = 41 atm

Now;

ΔG = ΔG° + RTlnQ

ΔG°reaction = ΔG°products - ΔG°reactants

ΔG°reaction = [( -23.4) +2(0)] - 3(-50.8)

ΔG°reaction = 129 kJ/mol

Q = PC3H8 * PH2^2/PCH4^3

Q = 0.013 * (2.3×10−2)^2/( 41)^3

Q = 6.877 * 10^-6/68921

Q= 9.9* 10^-11

Hence;

ΔG = 129 * 10^3 + [8.314 * 298 * (ln 9.9* 10^-11 )]

ΔG = 129 * 10^3 - 57073

ΔG = 72 kJ/mol

Predict the bond angles for each of the following labeled bonds.

boyakko [2]

The bond angles a and b are 120° respectively. The bond angle c is 111.4° .while the bond angle d is 120°. The bond angles e and f are 120° respectively.

In the carbonate ion, all the bond angles and bond lengths are equal hence three equivalent resonance structures can be drawn for the ion. All the bond angles, ( a and b) in carbonate ion all have bond angle of 120°.

The bond angle marked c in OCCl2 has a bond angle 111.4°, the bond angle marked d in the compound has the bond angle, 120°.

There are three bond angles present in the nitrate (NO3-) ion. Three resonance structures contribute to this bond. Based on these structures, the bond angles e and f in the molecule is 120°.
