The molality ( m ) of a solution is the moles of solute divided by the kilograms of solvent. A solution that contains 1.0 mol of NaCl dissolved into 1.0 kg of water is a “one-molal” solution of sodium chloride. The symbol for molality is a lower-case m written in italics.

In order to calculate the molality of a solution divide the moles of solute by the volume of the solution expressed in liters.

I did what I think you meant if it's wrong text me I'll fix it.

When doing a recrystallization what observations would prompt

Volgvan

<h2>Observation of purified crystals.</h2>

Explanation:

Recrystallization is the process in which a compound is dissolved in a hot solvent and then allowed to cool which forms the crystals.
It is a technique used for purification of solids.
Recrystallization mainly depends on the solubility of the solvent that means the solid should be soluble in the solvent when it is hot and should be insoluble in the same solvent when it is cool.
The observations while doing recrystallization is to observe the purified crystals obtained and to filter it out.

3. After 7.9 grams of sodium are dropped into a bathtub full of water, how many grams of hydrogen gas are released?

Pavel [41]

Answer:

3) About 0.35 grams of hydrogen gas.

4) About 65.2 grams of aluminum oxide.

Explanation:

Question 3)

We are given that 7.9 grams of sodium is dropped into a bathtub of water, and we want to determine how many grams of hydrogen gas is released.

Since sodium is higher than hydrogen on the activity series, sodium will replace hydrogen in a single-replacement reaction for sodium oxide. Hence, our equation is:

$\displaystyle \text{Na} + \text{H$_2$O}\rightarrow \text{Na$_2$O}+\text{H$_2$}$

To balance it, we can simply add another sodium atom on the left. Hence:

$\displaystyle 2\text{Na} + \text{H$_2$O}\rightarrow \text{Na$_2$O}+\text{H$_2$}$

To convert from grams of sodium to grams of hydrogen gas, we can convert from sodium to moles of sodium, use the mole ratios to find moles in hydrogen gas, and then use hydrogen's molar mass to find its amount in grams.

The molar mass of sodium is 22.990 g/mol. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Na}}{22.990 \text{ g Na}}$

From the chemical equation, we can see that two moles of sodium produce one mole of hydrogen gas. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}{2\text{ mol Na}}$

And the molar mass of hydrogen gas is 2.016 g/mol. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}$

Given the initial value and the above ratios, this yields:

$\displaystyle 7.9\text{ g Na}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Na}}{22.990 \text{ g Na}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}{2\text{ mol Na}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}$

Cancel like units:

$=\displaystyle 7.9\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{22.990}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1}$

Multiply. Hence:

$=0.3463...\text{ g H$_2$}$

Since we should have two significant values:

$=0.35\text{ g H$_2$}$

So, about 0.35 grams of hydrogen gas will be released.

Question 4)

Excess oxygen gas is added to 34.5 grams of aluminum and produces aluminum oxide. Hence, our chemical equation is:

$\displaystyle \text{O$_2$} + \text{Al} \rightarrow \text{Al$_2$O$_3$}$

To balance this, we can place a three in front of the oxygen, four in front of aluminum, and two in front of aluminum oxide. Hence:

$\displaystyle3\text{O$_2$} + 4\text{Al} \rightarrow 2\text{Al$_2$O$_3$}$

To convert from grams of aluminum to grams of aluminum oxide, we can convert aluminum to moles, use the mole ratios to find the moles of aluminum oxide, and then use its molar mass to determine the amount of grams.

The molar mass of aluminum is 26.982 g/mol. Thus:

$\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Al}}{26.982 \text{ g Al}}$

According to the equation, four moles of aluminum produces two moles of aluminum oxide. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{2\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}{4\text{ mol Al}}$

And the molar mass of aluminum oxide is 101.961 g/mol. Hence: $\displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}$

Using the given value and the above ratios, we acquire:

$\displaystyle 34.5\text{ g Al}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Al}}{26.982 \text{ g Al}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}{4\text{ mol Al}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}$

Cancel like units:

$\displaystyle= \displaystyle 34.5\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{26.982}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2}{4}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1}$
