The answer is Solid.
Have a great day m8!
Molality= mol/ Kg
if we assume that we have 1 kg of water, we have 3.19 moles of solute.
the formula for mole fraction --> mole fraction= mol of solule/ mol of solution
1) if we have 1 kg of water which is same as 1000 grams of water.
2) we need to convert grams to moles using the molar mass of water
molar mass of H₂O= (2 x 1.01) + 16.0 = 18.02 g/mol
1000 g (1 mol/ 18.02 grams)= 55.5 mol
3) mole of solution= 55.5 moles + 3.19 moles= 58.7 moles of solution
4) mole fraction= 3.19 / 58.7= 0.0543
Metals usually become cations since electrons are negatively charged and when they are lost there are more protons than electrons making a positive net charge in the atom. (cations are positively charged ions while anions are negatively charged ions)
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
The balanced chemical reaction for the described reaction above is,
Na2CO3 + 2HCl ---> 2NaCl + H2CO3
From the reaction, 1 mole of Na2CO3 is needed to produce 2 moles of NaCl. In terms of mass, 106 grams of Na2CO3 are needed to produce 116.9 grams of NaCl. From this,
(23.4 g NaCl) x (106 g Na2CO3 / 116.9 NaCl = 21.22 g Na2CO3
Thus, approximately 21.22 g Na2CO3 is needed for the desired reaction.
I believe d is the correct answer
