From the problem statement, this is a conversion problem. We are asked to convert from units of kilojoules to units of calories. To do this, we need a conversion factor which would relate the different units involved. We either multiply or divide this certain value to the original measurement depending on what is asked. From literature, we will find that 1 kilojoule is equal to 239 calories. We do as follows:

2.2125 kJ ( 239 calories / 1 kJ ) = 528.79 calories

A chemist prepares a solution of calcium bromide CaBr2 by measuring out 4.81μmol of calcium bromide into a 50.mL volumetric flas
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The concentration of the CaBr2 solution is 96 µmol/L

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Moles of Calciumbromide (CaBr2) = 4.81 µmol

Volume of the flask = 50.0 mL = 0.05 L

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the concentration of Calciumbromide

Concentration CaBr2 = moles CaBr2 / volume

Concentration CaBr2 = 4.81 µmol / 0.05 L

Concentration CaBr2 = 96.2 µmol /L = 96.2 µM

The concentration of the CaBr2 solution is 96 µmol/L

At STP, what volume of container would be needed to hold 3.2 moles of gas?
Rzqust [24]

78.4 L volume of container is required to hold 3.2 moles of gas.

Explanation:

  • STP is defined as the standard temperature and pressure of a gas in room temperature conditions. At STP, one mole of the gas which has Avogadro's number of molecules in it will occupy a volume of 22.4 L.
  • So, one mole of a substance or gas will occupy a volume of 22.4 L then the volume of the container needed for  3.2 moles of gas is calculated by multiplying 22.4 L, standard volume with the moles of the gas 3.2 moles.
  • Hence, the answer would be 78.4 L.
