This problem is simply converting the concentration from molality to molarity. Molality has units of mol solute/kg solvent, while molarity has units of mol solute/L solution.
2.24 mol H2SO4/kg H2O * (0.25806 kg H2SO4/mol H2SO4) = 0.578 kg H2SO4/kg H2O
That means the solution weighs a total of 1 kg + 0.578 kg = 1.578 kg. Then, convert it to liters using the density data:
1.578 kg * (1000g / 1kg) * (1 mL/1.135 g) = 1390 mL or 1.39 L.
Hence, the molarity is
2.24/1.39 = 1.61 M
Because of the strong attractions between polar water molecules.
What are the answer choices?
Answer:
B) The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements.
Explanation:
Inert elements in chemistry simply refers to elements that are chemically inactive and are not expected to form any compounds. this is the general belief for the group 8 elements as they all have complete duplet/octet configurations (and ideally, they ought to be very stable with no tendency to form compounds by participating in the loss and gain of electrons). However the discovery of compounds like xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) proved this to be wrong.
Again, the reason the term - inert gses was droppedis beacause this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.
After dropping the term - Inert gases, they are now referred to as noble gases.
