Answer:

0.4 M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as moles of solute, which in your case is sodium hydroxide,

NaOH

, divided by liters of solution.

molarity

moles of solute

liters of solution

Notice that the problem provides you with the volume of the solution, but that the volume is expressed in milliliters,

Moreover, you don't have the number of moles of sodium hydroxide, you just have the mass in grams. So, your strategy here will be to

determine how many moles of sodium hydroxide you have in that many grams

convert the volume of the solution from milliliters to liters

So, to get the number of moles of solute, use sodium hydroxide's molar mass, which tells you what the mass of one mole of sodium hydroxide is.

⋅

1 mole NaOH

40.0

0.175 moles NaOH

The volume of the solution in liters will be

500

⋅

1 L

1000

0.5 L

Therefore, the molarity of the solution will be

0.175 moles

0.5 L

0.35 M

Rounded to one sig fig, the answer will be

0.4 M

The molality of a solution that is made by dissolving a certain mass of benzene in 20.6g of carbon tetrachloride is 0.529m. How

antiseptic1488 [7]

Molality of solution = 0.529 m

mass solvent in kg = 20.6 g => 20.6 / 1000 => 0.0206 kg

number of moles = molality x mass solvent

= 0.529 x 0.0206 => <span> 0.0108 mol benzene

Magnesium reacts very slowly to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Write a word amd chemical equation for this reaction.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: -

Magnesium reacts very slowly to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂

Explanation: -

Chemical symbol of magnesium = Mg

Chemical formula for magnesium hydroxide = Mg(OH)₂

Chemical formula for hydrogen gas = H₂

The other reactant with Mg must be water H₂O.

Thus the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂

Can the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen change if a solute is dissolved in the water

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Water molecules feature the combinations of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a 2:1 ratio. Since they are present in a fixed ratio of mass, water molecules obey the law of constant proportions. Water is formed when two molecules of the diatomic hydrogen gas, combine with one molecule of the diatomic oxygen gas to produce two molecules of water

How manymoles of each ion are present in 175 mL of 0.147 M Fe2(SO4)3?

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 0.0257 moles of $Fe^{3+}$ and 0.0257 moles of $SO_4^{2-}$

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{moles}{\text {Volume in L}}$

moles of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3=Molarity\times {\text {Volume in L}}=0.147\times 0.175L=0.0257moles$

The balanced reaction for dissociation will be:

$Fe_2(SO_4)_3\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+SO_4^{2-}$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ gives 1 mole of $Fe^{3+}$ and 1 mole of $SO_4^{2-}$

Thus there will be 0.0257 moles of $Fe^{3+}$ and 0.0257 moles of $SO_4^{2-}$

4. The volume of a sample of a gas at STP is 200.0 ml. If the pressure is increased to 4.00 atmospheres (temperature constant),

Elina [12.6K]

Answer : The value of new volume is, 50.0 mL

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$
